I shot this for Condor at the weekend. I need to buy a proper microphone... Lesson learned.

Beautifully shot and crafted. Cool music and a really nice photgraphic quality.Intersted to know... how many cameras did you use?

I've only got one HDSLR camera, so that was it! (canon 7d btw)

Wow. One was enough - you nailed it.

Go for something like this sennheiser: http://www.sennheiser.co.uk/uk/home_en.nsf/root/professional_wired-microphones_camera-mics_502047

The problem you're always going to have though with sound is that if it's a camera-mounted mic you're always going to have to cope with distance from subject. Usually the senns aren't too bad at picking up anything in a straight line in front of them.

Also get a rycote softie to kill wind noise.

Possible solutions: get someone to do sound for GVs and group shots with a sync clap and resync in post. Use lavalier clip mics on radio packs for interview sections with single subject.
