Working with acting for the camera 2.5 hours 12 total

We worked with the theatre class on a project they needed for class. Everything ran smoothly at first as the actors were easy to work with. They gave Waldman and I a lot of creative liberty and we took full advantage. We encountered a problem with the audio on our camera. The audio would fade in and out regardless of any microphone/cable/mixer input combination we tried. The audio from the external microphone on the camera was having the same problem. We ended up recording their scene with very low audio as they said as long sit was slightly discernable they could still use the clips.
