Louis Parkinson Races the Clock 

Sounds good- I'll try and keep more footwork in view

I think that was my bad! I rushed around the whole time and gave Andy zero warning about which climb I was going to try or where it went; miracle he managed to get any good footage at all really 😂

Actually Louis never uses his feet at all throughout this video (or ever) it just looks like he does. Lord of campus

Was thinking the same thing, hopefully Louis and Andrew can coordinate it a smidgen better next time (:

Definitely get a shotgun. It also sounds like he's recorded his own voice and added added it in post, it's really jarring.

He does use a shot gun mic. They don't work like zoom lenses - you can't pick up sound from a long way away. Most shot gun mics - especially ones designed to sit on top of cameras - have a polar pattern that picks up sound mainly from the front but also picks up sound from the back so that you can hear the person filming. The problem here is that Andrew is 1 foot away from the mic and Louis is 10 feet away so obviously Louis will sound like crap. The only way to fix this is to use a lav mic for Louis, but then that could get in the way; or get an extra person in to boom a mic overhead of Louis, which is obviously totally impractical. The lav mic would probably work best of the 3 options. Shot gun mics on top of cameras are terrible and should never be used because, as this video proves, mics only work when they're within 2 feet of the subject. Having a shot gun mic on top of the camera is why so many RU-vid channels, like this one, have bad audio.
