I am doing a shoot this weekend and the editor asked me to try and keep the boom the same distance as a medium close up in the close up. His reasoning is that even 1 foot of difference changes the reverb. I have always tried to get the boom as close as possible always pointing it center of chest. (Sennheiser 416). This is an outdoor scene. Is he correct? Are there any basic guidelines I should follow when booming? Any other resources I can get more professional how-to from?

Hello! Anybody know where I could find this (now obsolete) product or anything similar?
