  1. Showing once again that Smoking Tumbleweeds is deleterious to your mental health. Best Regards, Larry Fisher
  2. Hi All, In a couple of weeks, I'll be recording sound for an unusual event: 10 row-boats will set out from a pier, each carrying one storyteller and 5 listeners (full occupancy). The boats will drop anchor 'within sight' of the pier, and will be 'not too close' to each other (that's as precise as the distance info gets unfortunately). Once in position the storytellers will begin to tell their stories concurrently which will last about 30 minutes. My job is to record 5 of the storytelers. There will be a run through in the afternoon before the performance in the evening. If range is an issue, it may be possible to get me on a searate boat to get near them. However, I would prefer to keep my Nomad on dry land. My plan is to radio 5 of the storytellers and record 5 iso tracks and a further 5 'safety' iso tracks (at a lower volume) as I can't predict when shouting may occur. My concerns are 1 - range 2 - wind protection 3 - waterproofing Range: Unfortunately I am working with G3s. I only have 2 of them so I will need to rent 3 more. As there are no cams, I can afford to mount the Tx up high on a shoulder or back. What have you all found to be the practical range of G3s? And how does that differ across water, if at all? Wind protection: As there may potentially be a lot of wind (or none), I feel I should conceal the lavs for the sake of extra wind resistance. OTOH this will lead to more clothing noise. So I really not sure what to do there. As there are no cams, perhaps I could build some kind of spacing-block to keep the cloting off the mic. Off the top of my head, something like a pair of rolled up bandages taped to the chest 2-3 inches apart, leaving space for the mic in between. Waterproofing: I will be asking production to buy/rent aquapacs to keep the TXs dry. Has anyone found any cheaper solutions that work? My lavs are DPA 4061s. Anyone know how they respond to water? How about salt water? (TBC) In the event of capsizing is there any way to waterprof a lav without totally killing the sound? I would love to hear your advice, ideas, suggestions on how you would do this, questions you would ask, and things you would look out for. Many thanks, B
