Source Control For Game Development

This fabric grid can control your light source perfectly.

The i9-14900K is great for running virtual machines and software/game development. It is powerful enough to run any game I want to play. I am using Thermaltake liquid cooling to manage the temperature because it runs hot.

This a great light source for painting with light. Dimmer control works well.

I'm a television/video producer/editor with 30+ years of experience. I produce everything from retail commercials to a high-end travel show. Audio production has always been my weakest skill. I have traditionally relied on lavs but I wanted to up my game in field audio and as a usable and functional lav backup. I have only had moderate success using traditional shotgun mics as an audio source, usually only good for nat sound. The Sennheiser MKH416 is a game-changer! It can easily serve as the only audio source if needed. The clarity is cinema quality and the pick-up is outstanding. It is very directional, which means it will pick up dialogue very nicely and ignore the surrounding noise at the same time. Likewise, it picks up action sounds like car doors closing or footsteps so you don't have to Foley. I wanted a real boom mic and the 416 is it. $1k is hefty, but it profoundly increases the quality of your production. I also understand V/O pros use it. I can see why.

If you're setting up on a tripod near an outlet, using a batter that plugs in to a power source is a game changer. No more camera overheating or worrying about needing to change out batteries.

This can be used to control light in harsh conditions. Reflection any source of light including flash makes for very nice control of light.

This works very well to control the volume individually for each of up to 4 separate pairs of headphones all being fed from the same source.

I use it for film development and cyanotypes.

Great clean development from it.

We recently updated master control and our new system has embedded audio, but sometimes you need to take a source that's not embedded and this converter takes the hassle out of embedding the audio, it's easy to use and does a great job.
