Use lavs in your situation and if talent is static, get in there as tightly out of frame with your boom as you can. Better to have options.

Good luck.

Hey Jfriah!

You are right, I was just under the impression that maybe too much ambiance comes when you cannot get too close with a boom, otherwise the talents voice seems to mask the ambient noise. Also I found it pretty hard to record too many people with a boom.

How do you go about recording large number of people? Do you increase the number of booms?

Thanks
