Getting clean cinematic audio in your film doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Here’s my best tips and tricks for recording great audio as a low budget filmmaker.
One thing I forgot to mention – get some decent over the ear headphones (not earbuds) to monitor your sound on set. This topic was too big for one video!
Disclaimer: 7RYMS sent me their mics for free, but had no say over my review or how I featured them. The noise floor was higher than the DJI Mics, but they were reliable and I think they’re a good value.

About me:
I’ve been making short films for 20 years, starting at age 11. I directed my first feature film, Bad is Bad, in 2010. Made for only $6,000, the film went on to reach over 7 million views and garner critical acclaim. More recently, my short film, Will “The Machine”, screened and won awards at film festivals around the world. Released online in 2019, it reached over 1 million views in just a month. I also work as a video editor, cutting ads for clients such as Apple, Netflix, and Beats by Dre.
