The technical recording aspects of the School Run were some of our most ambitious yet.😱 After much deliberation and testing, sound designer @jonnicholls.bsky.social sketched his plan for the mics as pictured here, and our brilliant team managed to make it happen. Outside. On a 30+ degree day. Oof! 🥴
