  1. We're shooting an indie TV pilot from Nov 19-22 in southern NJ and are in need of two boom ops. We'll provide food, lodging and $100/day. We're also in need of radio mics and 1 boom setup so if you have your own gear we're willing to rent from you rather than the rental company. If you're in NYC we'll transport you to and from the location. This is a really fun and original project and you'll be working with a great group of people! please send resume/credits to: larp@supremerobot.com thanks, jason
  2. Doing location recording for a shoot and I have two boom ops. I'm looking more for general coverage than focused miking so I'm thinking I might be better off with a wider cardioid rather than a shotgun mic as a lot of the coverage will be for wala type crowd scenes. I have AKG 391B's but I've never used them in this capacity. Does anyone have experience with these as boom mics? How do they handle dialog? Can they hold up in cold weather? Any insight would be appreciated. thanks.
  3. Thanks to everyone for all the tips and helpful advice. It really gives me a better sense of the more common approaches people are taking. Most of it is what I figured but wasn't sure if there were any reality show "rules" i would be breaking. Just to clarify this is an indie funded pilot that we're shooting thus the restricted budget. And I'm actually an audio guy first and foremost, the co-producer part is where I'm a complete noob. I've been in pro-audio for nearly 20 years and while most of my experience is in studio, I have worked on several productions as sound sup, just never a reality tv show. And while it might be nice to hire a sound sup w reality experience; a) i'm not sure if it's in the budget and i want to have the experience of doing it myself. I figured if i hire a mixer (or 3) that have reality show experience they'd be enough of a help to keep me from shooting myself in the foot w/o losing control of the way production actually sounds. thanks jason
  4. The number of sound people would depend on the opinions I gather here , but for now it will most likely be myself as supervising sound editor (only reason i'm not mixing is because I'm co-producing), one location mixer and possibly one or more boom ops. I'll most likely be recording to one or two (more likely 2) multitracks (leaning heavily towards the 788 since I've had good experience with it and it's readily available but open to suggestions).
  5. I'm currently spec'ing out equipment/crew I'll need for a reality show I'm co-producing. It'll be an action based competition show (sort of a cross between Amazing Race and the Colony) with 3-4 cameras and anywhere from 5-20 people in any given scene (5 competitors, all others "extras"). Overall very run and gun. Just wanted to hear from anyone working in reality TV how they would mic the talent. With that many in a scene, wondering how many lavs would you use? Is anyone really booming anymore or do you depend on lavs and camera mounted shotguns? Our budget doesn't allow for 20+ wireless lav rentals so was planning on having 10 lavs and relying on camera mounts to fill in the holes. Does this seem like a good plan? Any suggestions? thanks in advance, Jason
