Re: Sound in a cathedral

All the above ideas are great for deadening the sound, but as an alternative why not shoot wide and show that you are in a big, echoey cathedral. If it's a low budget shoot, then that's as low budget as you can get. I would still put duve down on the floor and you can spot treat where you please. But instead of trying to turn chicken crap into chicken salad (tight shot with echoey sound), take advantage of the location and the designed acoustics. I understand it may not work for the production, but it's still a thought anyway and that's what this site is about. Hope it goes well.
