Perhaps they can do that themselves, but it seems like it would be easier with "help" from the crew. In my fantasy world, at least in bigger markets, I like to think that it's a union rule that the sound guy has to hook up the mic, and he regularly gets in his views and feels. But perhaps all of that is wishful thinking on my part.

I was teaching a college TV production class and we wouldn't take it that far when it came to mikeing, most would be wearing a jacket or sweater so they would clip it to the lapel and hide the cord behind it or tucked inside. I had one student who came in wearing a short one piece dress so there was nothing to clip it to. She hiked up her skirt revealing lace black panties. I tried to casually look away as she threaded it under her dress to come out her neckline. Needless to say that's been locked in since it happened.
