Number 2

You win! Actually, you're 100%
We WERE using the on board mic in Cubed.
Picked up the shotgun/boom in the meantime for Johnny 5

But, as you heard) I have a lot of work to do with that.
She picks up a wider range than I thought, but the level variers greatly. Also, I was operating the camera and boom at the same time (first time for the boom) so it tended to weave a bit and there are obvious points where the audio level is different. But there is an obvious improvement.

I'm hoping to put up another in a week, hopefully getting enough folks together so that I can have a separate sound man to operate the boom, keep it steady and therefore keep the audio a bit more level.

That and a much better planned shoot. This one had nearly 40 minutes of footage (granted I got a call in the middle of it AND a few airplanes) but still.
