Hello,
I'm a newbie in the sound department. I've always been fascinated by the level of audible details you have in an average film. I realize that most of it, must be ADR & Folley, done in post, but how much can you capture on set to make the most of it. Things like the clothing of actors wrinkling and stuff like that.
So, my question - What is an affordable general-purpose mic (and related accessories) are available on the market which I can take advantage of? I know it depends on the location, but a good general-purpose minimum which can manage in most situations. Looking for a shotgun, not a complicated setup of lapel mics.
For the record, currently I have an H2N, AT2020 & a cheap shotgun mic (which I am willing to throw in the sea when the time comes)
Thanks!
