How Does This Sound? Shot on Hacked GH2 for those of you who love that look

I was just surfing and found this. I am trying to figure out if the dialogue sounds ok or if it is has too much echo in moments. I am trying to figure out if the mic used did a good job. I understand that the post process, experience of the sound person and other factors play a role, just wondering how do you think it sounds.

I am not involved with this project just trying to learn thanks!

It was hit and miss. In some cases, it might have been the wrong mic for the application. In most cases, it sounded like the technique of the user.

FWIW, the audio on this was an NTG-3, Sony wireless (system not specified) with RØDE PinMics, and an Avantone CK-1. He does mention that they haven't even gone through audio post yet, and that there will be dialog editing, so I wonder if some of the less-than-stellar audio might have alternate tracks (such as lavs) that weren't used in the trailer.

Ive heard great things about the avontone ck1 mic, i guess its a replaceable capsule mic like the octava, but the hypercardioide capsule is the one to use for indoor dialogue. I cant say but I have heard people say it's as good or better. Does anyone know anything about this mic, it's cheap enough, might be worth picking it up to give it a go.
