Location sound... why bother!!

Who on earth would try to capture sound in the following places?...
  • An interview on the bridge of a very fast and rolling lifeboat.
  • A very quiet subject being interviewed next to the roar of the Atlantic and the buffeting wind.
  • A presenter piece to camera.... except that the presenter is wearing a wetsuit and is rowing an inflatable boat in the middle of a large swimming pool. Oh yeah, and the wave machine is turned on!
The answer is me because I love it! The last few days filming for the One Show has presented all of the hideously difficult challenges that make location sound recording an absolute pleasure.

We also suffered from a barking dog to keep with tradition.

    hi,

    you really love it? Wow. I can't claim that for me doing sound for nearly 15 Years now. Often get frustrated when it isn't possible to do it perfect.
    rustling hidden lavs - aaarghhh....

    I was just looking for soundies websites because mine definitely needs an refresh.
    soundman.tv is really nice.

    kind regards
