Broham:

If you were videotaping a street parade, with dancers and what not, and it's a 1-2 person job (camera + assist/boom operator), what kind of mic would you use? onboard short shotgun? omnidirectional lavalier? i'm thinking of combining the both (2 XLR inputs) for directional + ambient sound, but JOO DA MAN when it comes to mics, so i'll pay heed to your suggestions if possible. Simplicity is of course best from the logistical standpoint so if 1 mic could cut it that'd be it.

No interviews, just people in the streets, and music as the paraders (is that a noun?) go past us.

Thanks, in advance.
