Hi Tom,
Thanks! I'm not quite sure what you're asking for concerning setup.
XL2, available light from fixtures in the studio. Put the camera on a stand,
composed the background, sat in, realized I needed more room at the bottom
for the CG, bumped it up, fiddled a bit. Stuck the mic on a boom stand and
placed it in the shot. Hit record, sat down and did the bit.
I edited in Mac iMovie and exported it as an MP4

"a mini plug or XLR on the reciever" Um, your talking about a lav with a
wireless system or just a hardwired lav?

You're talking the website? Hmm, I think it must appear differently on
different systems. Over here it's a warm glow with sharp blue type that
stands out. I have noticed that different systems treat it differently.
