This is something people don't think about everyday, well unless you're a sound designer I guess. Anyways, I don't usually think about sound design/mic placement outside of theater, but it is actually quite prevalent. When I actually think about it, this makes sense and everything stated in the article really is the way executives are going. They all want everything to be seamless and "perfect". Anyways, it's cool seeing theater having influences outside its normal area.
Being a sound engineer/ designer this is something I look for everywhere that makes a real difference in how I view a production. From a Sunday in church to watching the most recent apple keynote I notice mic placement everywhere. Like this article states, most people don't even think about mic placement and how poor mic placement can ruin a production. It effects so much. The first thing you might notice is aesthetics. You don't want to see a big silly mic right in front of an actors face, it wants to be placed as hidden as possible without compromising audio quality. That being said, poor mic placement can also effect the quality of your audio. From my experience, most good microphones should not need crazy amounts of EQ to make them sound clean, but putting a mic in the wrong place can severely effect the cleanliness of your sound.
