Double Bass DOCUMENTARY : Double Bass Luthier

#4
I really enjoyed the video. Very artistic and warm. Did you use a boroscope camera for the sound post shot?

The audio could be better. I only say this because based on the camera work the " rumble" noise when the luthier speaks is not of the same flawlessness.

But don't get me wrong. I think it was a real wonderful video.

Btw.... The chalking in of his patch and lip sticking in of the feet is the same approach I use to do the fb. See my post under "plex" post. I think it is more accurate than holding a straight edge and trying to judge the amount of daylight under the dip.

But if there are specific questions or comments about chalking in the fb dip I'll take them on that post.

Bravo to you!

Thanks for watching! For the soundpost shot, I just used a 50mm lens and shot thorough the peg hole. Im not quite sure what rumble you are referring to.. does it sound like traffic or a street?

The most profound thing for me was Michael talking about how people have lost the ability to fix things themselves or understand how they work. This is no small thing. Today when the neighbor kid asked for the third day in a row if he could borrow my kid's soccer ball, I said "what's wrong with yours? I see it right over there". He said it was too soft. It just needed air. His parents didn't have the skills to pump up the poor kids football. Really sad.

That was one of the ideas I wanted to hit on that spoke to me. I have been a Bike mechanic since the age of 16 and it always amazed me what people couldn't/wouldn't try to fix before they brought it in. Even if you fail to fix it, you learn through process.
