Clapper boards and timecode and genlocking unless you want want some unpleasant effects as the various sources drift out of sync. Its not so bad with a short clip, only one video source and no cuts, but with several sources if you mix the audio at all, you can run into problems quickly! Trust me, I worked in a Post division of channel 9 for several years, back in the days when location audio was often recorded separately. Its do-able with just a clapper, but not really worth the effort. I would spend the time on cleaning up the camera audio with a multi-band compressor and an equaliser. Getting an external mic for one of the cameras would be the best thing; internal mics are generally poor. As an aside, when you hear the director say "We'll fix it in post!" you know the shoot is going horribly wrong and the post budget just exploded .
What I would like to try is shooting all the fights with at least two cameras and doing some interview shots in the pits, plus maybe some talking head intros and a finale, then cutting it all together to see how long it goes for and what amount of fight VS interview mix keeps the pace rolling along. This would be just to see how a 15 to 22 minute show would look and how complex it might be to produce. Think of it as a storyboard with live animation...
I know Jeff is quite interested in production and we all seem to know someone who can help out in one way or another, so going through the motions might kick off something a bit better next time.
If everyone has access to all the source material, then we will be competing to see you can produce the best clips - that will sharpen up the editing and we will soon see who is up for the main editing job. Conversely, we might split the workload up around the most consistent editors; something will work out.
Any other ideas?
@ marto: while I was reading up on this, I found that the connectors on the back of the GoPro cameras will take care of genlocking, which ensures perfect sync of both video streams. The cameras don't have any zoom or focus, so that's not a problem in this case. I am just dreaming here, we don't have any editing software or 3D TV to watch it on - pretty cool stuff though!
