Story time! A few years back, the day before I left NYC to London for a shoot, I realized my microphone was broken. It was a Saturday, and most shops that sell them in New York are closed on Saturdays but after a few hours of calling around and paying more money than I wanted to, I got my hands on a new microphone mere hours before my flight.
I show up to the shoot in London and realize I left the microphone at home. I messed up. Rather than admit defeat I needed to improvise.
