There are few things that are more uncomfortable than wet feet when you're on set. You're probably already exhausted from long days and then have to deal with rain and water while trying to move equipment that doesn't want to move places it doesn't want to go. If you're a boom operator, camera operator or anyone else that has to move during a scene in and/or near water, then you probably work hard to keep your feet dry. Nobody wants blisters and raw achy feet due to prolonged water exposure. One of the things I've spent a lot of time on is making my job easier whenever possible and keeping my feet wet in any circumstance is very high on my list. In this video I'm going to demonstrate four different things I do to keep my feet dry on set. These are all products I spent my own money on and received no compensation from anyone for putting them in this video.

Ever since starting Sound Speeds I've been asked about plant micing techniques. I've replied to those emails individually in the past but in this video I thought I'd show a few examples of how to hide a plant mic and tricks about hiding them. Since you have to be very aware of acoustics to successfully hide a plant, I feel it's important to make it known that lav mics aren't always the best tool for the job. I rarely use a lav as a plant and am only doing it in this video because lavs are very common to indie sound teams and videographers. Recently I reviewed the Deity V.Lav so I decided to use that mic as my plant for two reasons. 1: It is a $50 option everyone can easily get their hands on and use. 2: It will drive home some of my points on acoustics better than professional plant options.
