:help:!!!

I'll be pulling double duty as cameraman and translator at the Tokyo Game Show this year, and some of this will involve shooting video.

The kit that I have to hand at the moment is a Canon 5DII with the widest focal length I have available being 24mm, Full HD camcorder (not sure what capabilities as of yet).

I'm assuming I should be getting some audio equiptment, and I've been wondering about buying a Rode Shotgun mic for a while now, but I think using Lavaliers with some kind of small MP3 player with recording capability. Would it be feasable to get a decent two channel wireless audio recording system for under £150 though?

Also, can anyone provide any advice regarding any lighting or other concerns when conducting interviews? :thumbs:
 
Zoom h1, a lapel mic, and spend the rest on a z96 led light, interviews look so much better lit properly :)

But please don't stick the light in your hot shoe, mount it off axis!
