Field Recording Bloopers

Just wanted to share some Funny Blooper moments during a lengthy session for Codemasters' Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising video game we worked on. Years ago Aaron Marks hired me to assist him with field recording armored battle vehicles at a Marine base in 29 Palms, California.

Share a favorite moment from your field recording sessions.
