Hello Guys,
Last week I had a prank shoot and getting ready to go for the next one on a couple of days.
It's all outdoors and constantly moving. One person going to people in a street event like a parade and engaging in awkward consversations.
I used a flower brooch and proped a DPA 4080 lapel mic, pointing out since its a cardioid mic. I had the gain quite up in order to get further away sounds and I also had placed a fully hidden cos11 on the actress with the appropriate levels for her voice. Instructed the actress to go as close to the people as possible but when the prank is not stricktly scripted this cannot always be possible. As expected results were variable and of course I wouldnt expect excelent audio in situations like this but I was wondering if there are any other ideas out there?
Thanks
