Dave is the guru the industry and has more equipment than anyone I have ever seen in adult. He can talk about gear for hours and he knows his shit. If you are on a small budget and want to run and gun get the Rode Video Mic Pro it has a +20 DB setting on the mic that allows you to turn you levels down to the lowest setting on your DSLR but you still get a good signal with plenty of headroom for post while maintaining a clean signal to noise ratio. I shot this short in one day run and gun style with a manfrotto monopod and a Video Mic Pro.

Im sure the audio could have been better with a boom operator and a dedicated audio recorder, but we didn't have a production assistant or the time since we did it with a $0 budget and one camera. You can hear it when the camera is closer the audio is more intimate. A boom operator would have made the sound twice as good but it was still usable for not having an audio guy.
Dave post some of your music video work the stuff you and Craven did for Hollywood Undead was sick!
