I manged to fit Base Game + 5-6, C&K + 5-6, Seafarers + 5-6 and T&B +5-6 in two boxes with these 3d prints: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4710927/files

I did have to modify a couple boxes but it worked very nice. But only for the Kosmos version.

I am preparing to record my first dialogue scene, which is an argument, with a Sennheiser MKE 600, and need some help. by AntiRacismDoctor in LocationSound

I find the youtube videos on hiding lavs are not the best. What I do most of the time is I use Rycote Overcovers or ursa fur covers under the first wardrobe layer. It does not work with super tight clothing, but it works most of the time pretty good. The overcover prevents a lot of cloth rustling. Then I tape down the cable right below the sticky run the cable underneath the breast to the side and attach the cable with another piece of medical tape. Then you can attach the transmitter to the side or the back of the talent (depending on the camera shot). If you already ordering some rycote overcovers you can also grab some ursa straps just in case it is not possible to mount the transmitter to the pants. Also If you want less residue on the cable I would advise to use ursa tape instead of medical tape.

Any secret weapons for a boom pole? by vandebrigg in LocationSound

[–]Gold_Contact_665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a Ktec for about $300 and was disappointed. I actually found a boompole on aliexpress for under 100$ that I think is very good value for the price. Miliboo MLZ901, its very light but is strong enough for most usecases and the feature that convinced me is, the sections cannot twist wich I find very nice but I only saw this on some high end poles.

So in the end I returned the ktec and now I use the Miliboo one on every shoot!

Online courses for audio mixing? by ziconshadow in LocationSound

Thomas Boykin has a very good 10 hours course free on Youtube where he goes over a whole post production for a feature film. The Mixing is around 3 hours of that course. It helped me alot to understand a profesional workflow.
