Yeah, might not be the best technique for narrative productions, unless you are using something like a black lav on a black shirt, etc. I'd say its really more of a technique I employ on documentary productions. Sometime its the best option, sometimes it isn't. Just have to use common sense and your best judgment to when it is appropriate.

New Article on Sound for Short Films & Indie Features
henrirapp posted a topic in General Discussion
Recording Sound for a Short Film or Indie Films Recording quality audio for a narrative production, whether a short film or feature length movie, has a lot of challenges. No matter what budget or production scale you are working at from indie short films to fully funded feature films, a lot of principles carry over and can be applied and adapted. A lot of it comes down to preparing for the shoot, having the gear & experience to best utilize it, communicating with other departments, and using critical thinking & creative problem solving. Audio is one of the most immersive parts of t -
For what you are offering there you should be able to get $650/10 for labor & for that gear package it's easily worth $550/day (broken down as $350 for base kit [recorder, 1 boom, 2 wireless], an additional $150 for the two additional lavs, and $50 for the one comtek). At that $700 you are unfortunately being taken advatage of.

I think it depends on needs and and I anticipate myself cutting back in coming years as I will soon be at a point where unless I get a very large scale job I won't need to rent ever....as it is most gigs I still don't have a need to rent gear. For the last several years I've been averaging $10k-15k per year in new equipment. 2019 I hit $22k in new gear acquisitions. Again depends on what you need and how much work you have.

Best options for minimizing clothing rustles on lav mics?
henrirapp replied to Thomas Farmer's topic in Equipment
Here is an article about using a paperclip as a lav spacer: https://wavreport.com/2020/02/15/paperclip-lav-technique/ Another that works great for shirts with buttons (My favorite technique) is to poke the capsule of the mic just out behind the button itself. Here is a photo: -
Whoa! That's a technique I've never heard of or even considered! I'll have to try and employ it sometime! Yeah....it's a mix of safety pins and paperclips....guess I was on the lower side of paperclips vs safety pins. I keep both in a film container in my kit.

I own a pair of Joly modded Oktavas, DPAs, Neumanns, and have used Sennheiser mics extensively. No experience with Audix or Audio Technica. All great sounding mics. I will say that a lot of the so called “issues” people claim with MK012s I have never had issues with. No RF problems ever, even when connected to wireless plug on. Handling noise and wind can be solved with a good shock mount and wind protection, and quality poor. If you use budget accessories you’ll get budget results. Shock mounts and wind protection isn’t a good place to cheep out. The Joly modded Okta
