Well, that wasn't part of the plan
Two days before shooting, of course something had to break. We're just two days away from shooting *La fisica del vuoto*, and of course, things couldn't go completely smoothly. My Fostex FR-2LE has decided to give up on me. It's the professional audio recorder we were supposed to use for all the dialogue and sound in the film. Pretty important piece of equipment, really. It's a portable recorder with XLR inputs, so you can plug in proper microphones and record good-quality audio without needing a computer. I've spent ages trying to find someone who could lend me something similar, but no luck. I even found a place that rents them out, but I really don't feel like spending more money just to rent a recorder for a few days. We've already spent quite a bit on this film, and I'd rather avoid any more expenses. So we've come up with a workaround: we'll record everything using Ableton Live on my Mac, with an external audio interface. Which mean...
