Microphones on ToTP? For the presenter and the applause only!


How wrong you are. The TOTP mic rig. was was quite a work up and
involved about eight different types of mic. Admittedly in the late 60s
early 70s, I went on to cameras then after hitting Magnus Magnussen over
the head with a 4038 on the boom.

Or a 4033, even. ;-)

Doh!


I enjoyed my stint on cameras. Remember vividly swinging Frank Wilkins on
a Mole on TW3. Bloody hard work for the closing shot.


I spent two enjoyable years on Crew 2.

It went from miming to records, to totally live performance, then on
to backing tracks with live singists and back to miming. ;-) All in
the few years I worked on it.

What was your role on TOTP ?

Why do you ask, Iain?

Big snag with a pop orch in TV is that to actually have a chance of
hearing the fiddles above the rest is they have to be very tight mic'd.

Why do you call them fiddles?. They are violins.

Do **** off, there's a good boy.

A violin needs air. "Tight" mics (your term) sound awful
on strings They need air and lots of it. You would have been
better off with a Mellotron:-)

Good to confirm what I suspected all along. You ain't got a clue.

It's supposed to go the other way.
Camera crew are demoted to sound.
And sound crew to drivers:-))


I was always a rebel :-)

Good for you:-)
I know of another rebel, a driver who
was banned for six months, and became a
boom operator pro tem.

Your coarse manner does you no favours.
Look up "fiddle" in Groves.

Likewise.

All along your main object seems to have been to take the **** out of the
BBC in various ways.

Go and troll somewhere else.

Collins GEM English Dictionary
fiddle n. violin

Very odd you want 'respect' shown to fiddle players regardless, but are
happy to slag off every other trade. Are you a frustrated fiddle player?
