How should I mic my interrotron set up?

[Noam Osband]

I appreciate the pushback here. It’s always good to have opposing voices. this is the setup Errol Morris uses and he’s my favorite documentarian. i dont mind blatantly ripping this element off from him. Now, if i could be just as good an interviewer, director and editor as him…..

If you’re stuck doing it this way – go right ahead.

But if you’re open to some advice…

a lot of us here are saying that what you’re planning is a VERY unusual technique in the grand scheme of an industry that’s been cranking out interviews by the thousands for many, many, many years.

if you’re going to attempt to re-invent the wheel – we believe it would be an extremely good idea to TEST OUT your new wheel design before you attempt to balance the success or failure of your entire project on this very unusual method.

Assemble your rig. Call up some friends. Divide them into two groups. Do the first group with method A and the second with method B. Compare the results.

If you believe the results in A are superior – have at it. If not, you’ve just saved yourself a HUGE amount of hassle schlepping and setting up a bunch of stuff that can break down and cause you grief during your shoot.

Nothing to lose with this “test first” method — and everything to gain.
