See it's all for sound.
I usually wear a microphone when I'm shooting a scene. The wire for this microphone is run under my clothes.
Here let me show you with this diagram of what it looks like under my shirt.

Okay now sometimes they tape the mic to my chest.

This is never a good idea in my opinion. See, I'm a sweater. As in, I sweat. And whether you work indoors (where you can't have the air conditioning on because of the noise) or in the jungle (where the humidity never stops) sweat will pour. I've said it before, but I often start shooting a scene with fake sweat sprayed on my forehead but by the end of it, it's all real. So if you stick a piece of tape on my chest, it will come off. However the tape down by my belly button will not. In fact I'll be scrubbing the sticky goop stuck to my gut for days.
Another option is to "put a bug in my hair" which takes a team to do.
First the hair department will clip it into the hair over my ear with wig clips. Then wardrobe will help me anchor the wire with some slack to the top of my shirt so the wire doesn't pull my hair when I turn my head in the scene. Finally sound will run the wire down my back and around to the pocket.

Oh yes the pocket. (This blog IS about my pockets.)
So you can't just run the wire under your shirt and stick it in your pocket because the wire will tend to poke out the bottom. So instead you shove the wire down your pants and then run it into your pocket from the inside. Thanks to a little hole cut in the pocket by sound.

So all of my pants have holes in the pockets.

well, at least we know that if the FBI ever needs to bug you for some sting operation, you'll know how to hide your mic well.
¡That's funny! jajjajajaj
and that's... the rest of the story ! Now we all know what goes on in your pants while filming the show lol
Nevermind!
It'd be worst if you had a hole in another places... :P

Very interesting...very James Bond-ish. Your poor wardrobe..holes in your pockets. I think awhile back to the time you blogged about losing your whole outfit in one day - when you dropped Krazy Glue on it. Your poor wardrobe.
Love the diagrams!
A fascinating insight into how things are done but those drawings have made my day! I'll be chuckling about those for hours I reckon ;)
Thanks for sharing this fascinating info :) I love the diagrams you did - very arty. Goes to show there are no limits to your talents! :)
Whatever happened to boom microphones? At least they aren't shoving one of those up your....shirt.
What about your "commando" days when you "start wet"? I hope those wires and packs are waterproof! Love your behind the scenes tales... shows how unglamorous acting can be!
I'd wouldn't have guessed you were cut like that...can't let my wife watch LOST anymore :)
Thanks for the behind-the-scenes insight on body micing.
As to the sticky goop, If the make-up department dosent get it all try acetone nailpolish remover (may irritate the skin) or a commercial product called "Goo-Gone" (in most automotive or houshold big box stores) It smells citrus-y and disolves most adhesives...I've never had it irritate my skin, but your mileage may vary.
Jorge.
You are my favorite actor.
I like not only your work but your acttitude too. You are different of all that celebrities only worried about what to wear for the awards and spending million of dollars in vain things, diamonds, absurde shoes, etc. I love to see you acting and after come to your blog and see you being just a normal man with his plants, friends, pumpkings of halloween and talking about his family and their culture. Talking this way about your work, this is simply beautiful. You are a human being and you know it. Thanks for being that way and thanks for sharing this blog with all of us and let us to be close to you.
Humm... cool! Interesting but the body in diagram isn't yours! Hahaha... confesses, this is of another actor! =P
Sucess always dude!
You ripped Jorge. :) Let me know your workout routine. Have a great weekend man.
Baby oil is a champ for removing sticky stuff from your body.
That just sounded wrong.
(We use it to get band-aid sticky goop off the kids' boo boos. It's great.)
Is that a microphone in your...Oh, nevermind.
Wow, the things you guys go through to make the magic happen....That would have been a cute extra for the DVD, btw....complete with the drawings done on a white board and you with a pointer.
LOL great diagrams!
Thanks for the morning chuckle! Yeah, there is not much worse than a goopy belly button. *bg*
Love the diagrams, too!
: ) P
I wonder if you get to put it on yourself or if the mic people get to find out for themselves that you're not wearing any boxers? (You seem like a boxers guy....)
Interesting stuff. So I'm guessing that when Tanya Raymonde had a little thing come out of her hair during the scene where Karl and Rousseau were shot, it was just a blooper and not some sort of easter egg or fancy hair embellishment. Am I right?
You've mentioned that you sweat a lot. Here's a question:
On a television show, does wardrobe wash the clothes and make them appear dirty, or do they just keep them as-is, for continuity reasons?
I know that on film, every piece of wardrobe I'd worn was smelly, but as it was only a month-shoot, it did not matter. I can't imagine working for months and months in the same outfit.
Wow, very interesting. I always assumed they used booms on Lost, but this makes way more sense. Any idea what sort of mics they use?
The work which put a simple microphone! And they say that being an actor is easy! ;)
Kiss from Portugal
Last season the scene where Carl and Rousseau get shot I swear I saw a microphone hanging from Alex's ear, I think right before they got attacked. My husband told me it was probably a "girly hair doodad". but after your diagrams I think I was right! lol
The diagrams make it all so real! Great job.
Jorge, you are just too cute. Missed you, glad you guys had a great holiday too.
That's really interesting - are there specific scenes where they're more likely to mic the actors? Are they shooting with a boom as well, and then using the mic pickup like ADR when the boom doesn't catch it clearly? Or are they skipping the boom altogether? I've never seen actors mic'd on set, and I'd be curious to know what the benefits or usage would be.
Love the drawings by the way. You're such a stud - Bethany's a lucky gal! Hehe
Fantastic!
OK - I'll admit I never gave that much thought - I guess I assumed there were microphones hanging from the trees or stuck in the coffee mugs or in the flower vase....
HOKU's question cracked me up...
BUT - what do you do when you shoot a scene in the water? - Do you have one of those big fuzzy mikes hanging above your head? Or do you dub in your voice later?
Jorge,
I see your planning to go buff for your New Years resolution!
I have holes in all my pants, too...but I just need new pants.
Heey Duuude!
Just wanted to let u know that we love u on the show. We can't wait til season 5,we don't want u to die! By the way, have u ever seen the Lost parodies on youtube where Hurley always dies??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbgECF72kLc
Well, see ya on the island dude!
Wow, that's really interesting! I never realized that you guys had to wear mics. That must be kind of uncomfortable.
So what dothey do for Josh? since his hair probably doesn't cover as well as your does and half the time he isn't wearing a shirt so they couldn't tape it to his chest?
Thanks for the insite... I love your blog
Wow! I wish I had that good a self image :)
you always did come across as a sound man.
...j (",)
Ya-there would be no hiding on any mic or anything in my hair.
Good to know. Love the drawings, I think you missed your calling as an artist
What a great body you have! And all this time I thought, well, nevermind.
Wow, I always wondered that, because... there are scenes and even sequences where you just see that's virtually impossible to hang or stick the boom anywhere near :P thanks for the tip ;) I'll be using it, if I find enough funds for the equipment! lol
Thanks a bunch for your blog, man :D Uruguay loves you and Hurley! ;)
I think I have seen the "microphone in the hair" once...the camera cought it (by mistake) in a scene with...Alex I think (before she was killed :-(
Thanks for the info and great drawings!!
My husband has holes in his pants, usually in the crotch...but I dont think he has been bugged.
That is sooooo funny....
But looks like those training days with Bryan are paying off!!
This should be a featurette on the DVD for lost next season.
duck tap it man or gorilla glue. and if that won't work nail gun the dam thing to your chest. ok here do this. have them sew a little pocket on the front of your collor so you can clip the mic on the inside of that pcket that was sewen on. let me know if it works.;)
p.s i'm a seater too. i sweat at the drop of a hat,lol.
p.p.s. sew that little pocket on the inside of collar and then clip the mic on the little pocket. me typ to fast before,heheh. good luck. :)
Hey also have them sew a pocket on the inside of the back of your shirt on the bottom to hold the transmitter with some velcro to hold the transmitter in the pocket. hehe. :)
Thanks for explaining - that was reallyh interesting!
nice abs...
nice muscles!
Huh, that's a neat thought. I don't wear a mic, but I do wear an insulin pump, and the tubing is always sticking out especially when I'm in a business meeting. I might try this! Thanks!
How funny. I do the same for my MP3 player...to make it look like I have one of those nifty blutooth headsets!
Do all the cast of LOST wear a mic for some scenes, or is it just you? And if so, why...?

Still, this package is great value for your money. When my wife informed me that Emporio Armani was now pushing its own signature wilson k six, the EA7, I’ve got to admit, I was intrigued.

There was this guy who believed very much in true love and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl to appear. He believed that there would definitely be someone special out there for him, but none came.
Every year at Christmas, his ex-girlfriend would return from Vancouver to look him up. He was aware that she still held some hope of re-kindling the past romance with him. He did not wish to mislead her in any way. nike shoxsSo he would always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady whenever she came back. That went on for several years and each year, the guy would get a different girl to pose as his romantic interest. So whenever the ex-girlfriend came to visit him, she would be led into believing that it was all over between her and the guy. nike womens shoes The girl took all those rather well, often trying to casually tease him about his different girlfriends, or so, as it seemed! In fact, the girl often wept in secret whenever she saw him with another girl, but she was too proud to admit it. Still, every Christmas, she returned, hoping to re-kindle some form of romance. But each time, she returned to Vancouver feeling disappointed.
Finally she decided that she could not play that game any longer. puma mens shoes Therefore, she confronted him and professed that after all those years, he was still the only man that she had ever loved. mens puma shoesAlthough the guy knew of her feelings for him, he was still taken back and have never expected her to react that way. He always thought that she would slowly forget about him over time and come to terms that it was all over between them. nike shox Although he was touched by her undying love for him and wanted so much to accept her again, he remembered why he rejected her in the first place-she was not the one he wanted. nike 360 air maxSo he hardened his heart and turned her down cruelly. nike running shoesSince then, three years have passed and the girl never return anymore. They never even wrote to each other. NIKE air shoes The guy went on with his life..... still searching for the one but somehow deep inside him, he missed the girl.
On the Christmas of 1995, he went to his friend's party alone. "Hey, how come all alone this year? Where are all your girlfriends? What happened to that Vancouver babe who joins you every Christmas?", asked one of his friend.nike air max He felt warm and comforted by his friend's queries about her, still he just surged on.
Then, he came upon one of his many girlfriends whom he once requested to pose as his steady. He wanted so much to ignore her ..... not that he was impolite,wholesale nike shoes but because at that moment, he just didn't feel comfortable with those girlfriends anymore. nike shox torchIt was almost like he was being judged by them. The girl saw him and shouted across the floor for him. Unable to avoid her, he went up to acknowledge her.
"Hi......how are you? Enjoying the party?" the girl asked.
"Sure.....yeah!", he replied.
She was slightly tipsy..... must be from the whiskey on her hand.
sneakers shoes She continued,
"Why...? Don't you need someone to pose as your girlfriend this year?" Then he answered, "No, there is no need for that anymore......"
Before he can continue, he was interrupted, discount nike shoes"Oh yes! Must have found a girlfriend! nike shox r4 You haven't been searching for one for the past years, right?" The man looked up, as if he has struck gold, his face beamed and looked directly at the drunken girl. tn dollarHe replied, "Yes......you are right! I haven't been looking for anyone for the past years."
With that, the man darted across the floor and out the door, cheap nike shoesleaving the lady in much bewilderment. He finally realized that he has already found his dream girl, and she was.....the Vancouver girl all along! The drunken lady has said something that awoken him.
All along he has found his girl.nike tennis shoes That was why he did not bother to look further when he realized she was not coming back. It was not any specific girl he was seeking! cheap nike shoxIt was perfection that he wanted, and yes.....perfection!!
Relationship is something both parties should work on. Realizing that he had let away someone so important in his life, he decided to call her immediately. His whole mind was flooded with fear.free shipping shoes He was afraid that she might have found someone new or no longer had the same feelings anymore..... For once, he felt the fear of losing someone.
As it was Christmas eve, the line was quite hard to get through, especially an overseas call. He tried again and again, never giving up. Finally, he got through......precisely at 1200 midnight. He confessed his love for her and the girl was moved to tears. nike shoes It seemed that she never got over him! Even after so long, she was still waiting for him, never giving up.
He was so excited to meet her and to begin his new chapter of their lives. He decided to fly to Vancouver to join her. It was the happiest time of their lives! nike discount shoes But their happy time was short-lived. Two days before he was supposed to fly to Vancouver,cheap puma shoes he received a call from her father. She had a head-on car collision with a drunken driver. nike shox shoes She passed away after 6 hours in a coma.
The guy was devastated, as it was a complete loss. Why did fate played such cruel games with him? He cursed the heaven for taking her away from him, denying even one last look at her! How cruel he cursed! How he damned the Gods...!!nike free shoes How he hated himself....for taking so long to realize his mistake!! That was in 1996.
The moral of this story is :
Treasure what you have...
Time is too slow for those who wait;
Too swift for those who fear;
Too long for those who grief;
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love...
Time is Eternity.
For all you out there with someone special in your heart, cherish that person, cherish every moment that you spend together that special someone, for in life, anything can happen anytime. buy shoes onlineYou may painfully regret, only to realise that it is too late.
