sync sound without a blimp: how to spend the day shooting not setting up.
Why IS the camera crew so often called an hour before the cast? Lighting is one reason. Another is the time and effort it takes to set up a biimped camera. The NPR weighs 20 pounds and it needs no blimp.
That's the day's first setup. What about the others? A crab dolly saves you from having to haul the rig yourself, but the angles you can get with it are limited, of course. Taking one on location is a pain m the neck. The NPR gives you sync sound without a blimp and it needs no AC power. If you want a really high angle, you can climb a tree with it in one hand, like a briefcase.
Changing lenses, setting the stop and focussing are all slowed down by a blimp. Changing magazines is even worse. We all know what a disruption that can be. People leave the set, the lights are killed. When the camera and blimp are ready, the director has to establish the mood and continuity all over again, poor chap. The NPR's pre-threaded magazine can be changed in five seconds. If you happen to run out in mid scene, it just means another take. Immediately. With the NPR you get more shot in a day. You also get precise reflex viewing, rotating lens turret, registration-pin movement, constant speed motor, sync-pulse generator, five second magazine changes and, of course, blimp-free silence.
