Soundproofing a window on the cheap

[bookmonkey123]

Can anyone suggest an effective way of soundproofing a large window on location?

Our indoor location is situated next to a busy road, and we'll need to muffle the traffic noise as much as possible during shooting. We'll be using radio mikes rather than a boom pole, by the way.

Any ideas?

Assuming the window is not in shot and will not be relied upon for light, use a sound proofing blanket or your mum's old quilts. Since you'll be using wireless lavs, sound proofing the window might not be such a big deal. Is it not double-glazed?!

BTW, a good boom and mic always produce more natural results than wireless lavs, IMHO.
