Chest Hair!

  This week's link wasn't an article, but a video! This allowed me to comprehend what was happening! It was a variety of ways to hide those little microphones that clip to clothes. There was the simple way of reversing it on the tie so it just looks like a clip, and the other ways involved little tape triangles to reduce the sound of stuff scraping together. He also stressed a point that will probably be ignored by the animation class, to not hide if it's not necessary, like our class of try-hards would do that. These tips for hiding mics are very useful for actors to know, voice overs in post can work, but the can also be awkward and not synch well, and nothing says "this is totally fake" like a microphone sticking to a person's shirt. Hiding microphones is more beleivable and more reliable than the alternatives.
