Hello,
I was recently watching the "behind-the-scenes/making-of" DVD for the British period drama "Downton Abbey". The sound mixer mentioned that all the characters were wired for primary dialogue and boom mics/shotguns were used mainly for atmosphere.
With all the intricate period costumes and many characters in a scene, I was curious about the lav/wireless sytems used and how it is all dealt with.
Forgive me for not catching the sound mixers name, but I certainly admire his work and the scope of the series.
Thanks kindly,
Dave
