studiomprd Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 well... it depends. there have been several threads here about working in jungle-type places. do a Google search with jwsoundgroup.net as the first search term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I would put waterproof wireless and lavaliers high on that list. Ditto with raincovers for boom, parkas, humidity-resistant shotgun mics, and several good pairs of boots. Jonathan Chiles at www.filmsoundafrica.com is in South Africa and has commented on shooting in jungles before. There were also some comments on reality shoots in jungle environments in this thread: Consulting with a physician and getting all shots beforehand is an absolute must, as is insurance and medical considerations.

Mark Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I would also add some kind of talcum powder and topical anti fungal cream. Nothing worse than walking all day with chafed bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate C Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I would also add some kind of talcum powder and topical anti fungal cream. Nothing worse than walking all day with chafed bits. Worked on a doco on the SAS where one of the DS trainers commented on melting down your chap stick to combat this. Needless to say none of us ever asked to borrow his chap stick.

bigbenboom Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Maybe a small back-up kit just in case. Something like a 302 and 702t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
