a "custom" rain covering

Recommended Posts

This was on "The Postman Always Rings Twice", 1981 which Art Rochester mixed and Rick Thornton was the boom operator. Doing this scene in the rain, an improvised protective cover for the Rycote windscreen was built from hogs hair. The hogs hair covering works to disipate the water hitting the mic and thereby lessening the noise of the rain on the mic (but eventually the water passes through and ges through the Rycote and to the mic).
