Hi Everyone - I am assembling a camera bag and will ship tomorrow to David Mugo (since he is in Chicago until Monday).
Since I have a background in location sound recording, I want the chapter to record the best audio possible along with the best video possible -- therefore I will be including a delicate microphone of my own, so please be careful with it! ( I know you will ). Tomorrow i'll be writing up a list of guidelines and things -- I will keep everyone posted!
