Robert,

Apologies for the directness but from the google archive you appear to
be one of the most active and knowledgable of this (and other)
newsgroups.

Cut to the chase, awhile back I made some posts about a no budget
feature and the methodology of shooting it a certain way. You
encouraged me to instruct my filmmaker to not handicap the production
from the outset but to strive for the best sound and degrade later (if
needed) in post.

Without raising the budget, my filmmaker said he could use a boom
operator and have it feed into the rca port audio-in on his digital
camera.

He has proposed a dual camera setup. A Canon L2 Hi-8mm (he likes the
lens and the aesthetics it gives) feeding a super small Sony Digital
camera that has a hi-resolution 4" LCD monitor. He claims he can have
the audio go into the rca audio in and record everything locked to the
picture.

Small mixer and Audio Tech shotgun feeding the rca port. He is
recording everything in VCR mode on the camera so he claims he needs a
mixer to bring the audio levels up.

Outside of the rather bulky rig, are there any issues missing?

Thank you for your time Mr. Morein.
