Multiple Boom Mics Used in Film?


I am trying to make an independent film and am in the process of buying audio equipment. I noticed in many films they have multiple boom mics over the actors. My camera only has 1 microphone jack. Is it possible to buy a jack splitter so I can record two pieces of audio from 2 different mics? Thank you.

I have a miniture mixer with my miniDV recorder so that i can use 3 xlr mic inputs and pan them to right/left channel. Small portable battery operated mixers can be used when you need multiple mics, 4 and 6 channel are common. When i did recording for public radio events, a small Shure mixer with about 6 inputs was used and fed to a portable MD recorder. When you have a crew working the filming, having several people for just the audio greatly improves quality.

NO!! When you use boom mics they are recording the audio separately from the camera. You sync the sound in post production.
