Jesse Watts Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I found this randomly and thought some of you guys and gals might find it interesting. Two what I assume are Fisher booms covering a ton of action. If you watch closely you can see on the bottom left a long shotgun aiming away covering the dancers. Fantastic real Flamenco!

AndyB Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Badass! When was this shot and what might have been the mics on those Fishers? At any rate, that is some real music. A true human experience in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 If you go to the youtube video of that, there are many more great performances in the same setting. Guessing this was a Spanish TV show back in the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Trew Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Did anyone see "Puss in Boots"? I wonder if they used the same two boom technique. gt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Smith Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Actually, the booms are Moles, not Fishers. I can't really tell what the mikes are. Great stuff! --S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Beautiful! A totally organic recording of something real. A palate cleansing sorbet amongst the stuff we sometimes must endure during our workaday recording lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Sorensen Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 This is truly beautiful. I love seeing the microphones interact with the with the performers. It becomes part of the singing and dancing, quite organic as stated above. This micing technique is a lost art form in its self, that was ahead of its time.

Audio Daddyo Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I really love flamenco music and dance and really enjoyed this old film. I use to do live sound reinforcement for a flamenco dancer and her band. This film reminded me of the problem I use to have with getting enough level of the dancer’s percussive feet in the mix. Although the film was great those boom mics are just not enough to pick out the dancer’s feet. With the band I was working with I tried PZMs and other microphones to mic the stage but was never satisfied. Then it occurred to me that a wireless lav could solve this problem. The dancer was very resistant at first but I finally got her to wear a tx and run a lav down to her shoes. The wire would get buried underneath her stockings and I would attach the lav to one of her shoes. What a huge difference it made. Finally I could clearly hear the percussive attack of her feet and had more than enough level in the mix. I could also finally use the EQ to get the right tone for her feet instead of just EQing to avoid feedback. She was very hesitant at first to use the wireless lav but now loves it and won’t perform without it. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Usually here (in Spain), the regular captation for live events are a piezoelectric pickups on the stage, but the stage isn't a conventional stage, is a stage of multi layer wood, separated from the floor for get a resonance (Like a technical floor but bigger). For example this pickups http://www.kksound.c...usepickups.html Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlw Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Love me some Flamenco & that kicks butt. Thanks for posting! Interesting comments about the mic techniques, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrane Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 There are some old B&W films of Paco De Lucia - worth watching. Carlos Saura's films (also tango) are wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
