The producer(?) was a bit less-than-thrilled when he came out to ask us to
talk really quietly for just a few more minutes, right before you guys
headed into the noisebridge sound studio (read: elevator).  And it wasn't
like there were lots of people, or anyone was being loud.  Vonguard's not
the softest spoken of people and all, but he's quieter than I am on a
conference call.

A lot of the audio in that video sounds a tad off; it could be a funny mic
or the acoustics of the elevator car, but I think it's probably dynamic
compression to remove background noise from NB, which I understand to be a
rather tedious process if one does it carefully.  Then again, it's what
production crews get paid for.  Careful micing would make a difference, too:
the maker faire segments sound really great and natural, so they might have
just left the right microphone at home.

I think it's really important to help production folks understand the
environment they're stepping into.
