Fireworks Display at Danbury Fair Mall, July 3, 2008
Length: 4:24
Description: I recorded this fireworks display using multiple frame rates on the XDCam EX.
One was set to realtime record at 24fps, the other to overcranked 60fps. The results were combined in post production. During the quiet parts of the intro, I mixed in the slow motion footage, so you'll se a lot of displays going off with no sound. This was edited this way on purpose.
Audio was captured using two large-diaphragm condenser mics, fed into the EX1.
No sound compression was used. The camera demonstrates superb dynamic range, which will exceed most computer sound cards. A premium low-noise sound card is highly recommended for playback of this display. Proper playback will require high power headphones and amp, or thousands of watts of stereo through speakers.
The dynamic range of the audio portion is 76dB! Proper level is set by adjusting volume until the crowd noise is at the typical level for people shouting, as heard from 50-75' away.
The finale has the well-known 1812 Overture mixed in.
Happy Independance Day!
