Cutting out the sound of a breathing mask while filming
< on 8/26/2013 2:05 AM >

Hello All,

New to this forum and happy to be apart of it. I have started this fun and exciting hobby of urbex Feb of this year. I started out by taking pictures and then started filming my tours through these places. I took this to youtube and started a channel in Mid feb of this year to allow people to come along with me by watching my videos. Surprisingly it grew to 2050 subscribers in 5 months. However one thing I am having an issue with in my videos is the noise of the mask I am wearing. I have a 3m mask from Home depot that cost 25.00 us dollars that has pink P100 filters. I am using a Nikon D7100 to take pictures and film my explorations. The built in Mic is picking up the sound of the mask.

Now I know its a mask and it going to make that sound, but my question is to anyone who runs into this same situation, what have you done to eliminate it or if you have had this mask I have, have you upgraded to a better one that seems less noisy. This mask seems to make to much of a whirling whistle sounds which is what I do not like.

Thanks for reading guys!

Steve

Honestly I think the simplest solution here is to lose the mask.

Really you don't need one most places. They have their place, but it is usually at my house on a shelf, not on my face in a building.

Or go the opposite way and Darth Vader that shit. It would probably add tension to the videos.

Can you cover the microphone grill when you have the mask on. Silent running.

I have a Nikon P&S with a "wind noise reduction" feature. I guess the SLRs don't have that.

Maybe an external directional mic would do better at only picking up sound from in front of the camera.

A directional mic works better as stated above. It can also cut down on the noise coming from the camera body if you have clicky wheel knobs or accidentally hit the body with something.

It all depends on what you are trying to achieve. Are you trying to narrate as you shoot? If so you will need to ditch the mask. If you are simply trying to capture ambient sound, then a directional mic will pick up sound in front of you and should not capture the sound of you breathing.

Another option is to lay a soundtrack on top of the video. Music is one option or you can record a voice-over to narrate the video then add that to the video. Audacity is a free audio editor and recorder. An Audio-Technica ATR2100 USB Mic (around $40.00) is a good mic at a great price. It will connect via USB or XLR so the audio quality will be good. I believe you can marry the audio and video using Movie Maker. (if you are on a PC rather than an IOS device)

For me the biggest failure in YouTube is crappy audio even when there is good video. If you are serious about your video productions, check out Film Riot on YouTube. (I realize that it's geared towards film makers, but there is a TON of good information for anyone trying to make quality video.)

I've been doing research on this topic because I want to make some mine exploring slide shows with voice-over narration.

Hope this helps a little.

Three choices:

1. Lose the mask.
2. Stop breathing.
3. Dubstep soundtrack.

If you want to protect the locations you love to explore, don't talk about them online in public!
If you want to make exploring friends, send people private messages! Meet up in real life! Get off the internet!

Cover the breathing with white noise and porn sounds.

The most merciful thing in the world... is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

Thanks for the replies and some funny ones. Yea nikon makes a microphone that clips onto the hotshoe but according the the specs, it omni-directional which wont work as it will still pick me up. I just think the mask is very restrictive which is making me breath harder so I am looking into a better one.

I would take it off but a post on here has really changed my mind on not wearing a mask. Thanks for the advice everyone
