Article Comment – How Werner Herzog Guided This Filmmaker Through the Jungle and into 'Filmmaking Joy'

Hey Paul, appreciate that. I shot it and did the sound using what I could out of a small backpack. Sony A7, small gimbal, COS-11 lav mic into a JuicedLink Little DARling rolling continuous audio.

Thanks for checking out the feature project!
