Porthcawl Wales UK Fairground

Here's an interesting idea:
Take 1 camcorder, 1 Digital Voice Recorder, and 2 Granddaughters.
Give the voice recorder to the girls when they go on a funfair ride, When you edit the video, add the recorder audio and mute the camcorder audio, if you synchronise properly the effect is that you only get the girls and not all the background sounds from around the camera, you also get some good screams.
Method:
Camera - Canon Legria FS37
Voice recorder - Olympus VN-6800PC with lavallier mic
Editing Software - Sony Vegas
It is important to start recording on camcorder and recorder before they get on the ride, and use a good handclap so that both mics pick it up, keep the camcorder running even if there is nothing to video while waiting for the ride to start.
Record the video as normal.
When you get back to base load the video and audio into a video editor.
Remember to synchronise the handclap on the editor, then you can mute the camcorder audio.

Alternatives: Any decent camcorder will do, there are cheaper voice recorders or you can use the voice recorder function on some mobile phones.
Windows movie maker may work, but it's not easy.

Have fun with this.

Video is a little left of field, but yes remote voice recording can add to long range shots
