In my humble opinion many filmmakers overlook the importance of good sound equipment.

Many years ago when all I had was a single camcorder, no other kit, an old hand told me I should get a tripod next and then a decent microphone. To be honest I never appreciated his advice untill I finally got a decent mike.

In this demonstration I show how huge the differences between mics really are, and that you really do get what you pay for.
