Jesse,
P-$ here.
“I’m a white man, a white man in black socks.
I wear grey shorts; tank tops and dreadlocks.”
No, I’m sorry. I think you wanted the other one…
Regarding your question. Yes, I was suggesting you use the phone mic as an ingredient in your mix of close miced parts. Something to give ambience and support the viewers’ point of view of being in the woods. Slight breeze, rustling leaves, woodland critters crunching the leaves as they scoot through. Speaking of critters, I would avoid the geese motif you used in the rowboat series, that’s so last summer.
I’ve not tried it but I do believe using a separate copy of the phone mic recording, slightly (100 Hz) high passed as the send to a plate reverb (H3000 Tight and Bright) might could add a sense of hearing reflections off the trees. Some sort of plate verb program meant for percussion that includes a bunch or early reflections and small room ( <1 sec) parameter options.
Creating an inviting and believable audio setting first can help you hook your audience before the musical story unfolds, much like the cinematic effect of looking out over desert in springtime bloom but hearing what appears to be a rattling sound. Adios cowboy.
