Many thanks for the update.... Really like the websites Chris.

We have just published a guide which may be a good companion to the Ten Commandments
 

Rough Guide to Location Sound Recording - https://sites.google.com/site/iconta...ound-recording

"It is easy to get carried away with the visual side of filmmaking and let sound take second place; this is a big mistake. Generally sound is as important as picture and sometimes even more so. While picture can grab us emotionally it remains detached and outside the body. Sound by its very nature can be subtle and subconscious or even felt physically. It gets inside you, vibrates you and grabs you emotionally from within. It is almost impossible to be totally immersed and feel something is truly real with images alone, but shut your eyes and listen to a high quality sound design and you will feel that you are actually there. It is generally not possible to fix sound problems but a lot of visual problems can be rectified. If a crucial part of an interview is ruined by mobile phone interference the sound is useless; however If you have camera wobble or are re-framing during the same crucial sentence a cutaway can be used to fix the problem."...

The document seems to be disappeared from Sync.Sound.Cinema again.

IME, this is a more reliable source that has never disappeared:
An Open Letter from your Sound Department - A Production Sound Manifesto written by audio professionals

And here is the document with some updated discussion:

Also,

There is now this.
Still, best to not have reverb/echo there in the first place if you can help it. Granted, it's amazing what tech can enable us to do these days.
