I would like to wish all my freedom loving brothers and sisters here in the USA and around the world a very happy and respectful 4th of July and all that it stands for as we toil to form a more perfect union. A lot of work and sacrifice is in our history and much work is ahead of us, but let us take this day off and celebrate the day and what it stands for. I am proud, humble, and lucky to be living in the USA. CrewC

By The Numbers It appears that that the IA and the AMPTP are not so good at math … According to the “Fact Sheetsâ€� and “Officialâ€� letters of explanation regarding the increase in qualifying hours from 300 to 400, the increase was due to a projected $587 Million shortfall. A shortfall due to rising cost of health care. The IA put the cost of health care increases at a staggering 9% per year “compoundedâ€�. They also claim that the Plan spends $19,100 per year for family coverage. Furthermore, the IA “fact sheetâ€� claims the Plan spends $500 Million per year on health coverage. But according to The National Coalition on Health Care: “In 2008, emplo…

Hello esteemed mentors and peers. GQ just posted some videos of a shoot that I recently recorded on with one of my corporate clients. http://www.gq.com/en...-guys-portfolio The only two videos I didn't record production sound and wild track FX on were the Mark Strong and Jack Gleeson. Of course, my humble production tracks are a very small part of the overall sound design, but it has been the highest profile project I've been involved with yet, and I wanted to share it with you all. As a secondary issue...what do you think of the post-sound work? Best, Steven

I am going to Vegas for a job next week, arriving Tuesday evening, shooting Wednesday and Thursday and heading back to LA Friday. I don't expect the days to be long, so thought I'd find out if anyone on JWSOUND would be in town and would be interested in getting together for a drink. Robert Sharman (818) 304-3066

I thought that doing a movie in Huntsville AL at the space research center would be RF purgatory. Wrong. Block 21 has worked flawlessly for me for four weeks. Ninety percent if not more of this project has been on wires because of a combination of background noise and directorial style. Wide and tight all day long and huge turbines and air conditioners in the center have prevented the use of boom mics but we've done really well using the wires even in close ups. I don't know if my career will evolve from TV series to movies, I don't mind either way, but I do know that the more we succeed at providing production audio on wires that is on a par with larger diaphragm mic rec…

from Alan Disler: The new Hollywood Basic Agreement between the AMPTP and the IA is a bitter pill surrounding a poison pill for every below-the-line worker in film and television in the United States. While attention is being focussed on the draconian 400 hour health insurance requirement shamefully acceded to by the IA negotiators, the “New Mediaâ€� provisions are being practically ignored. It is clear why. The so-called “New Mediaâ€� agreement will eventually be recognized as the document in which the IA blithely gave up the struggle for: decent pay decent hours decent working conditions respect for professionalism. With one flourish of a compli…

On the Facebook page of the UK Sound Underground, Glen Marullo posted: "Just finished shooting for four weeks outside of Luton. A period drama that takes place in the 1860. No air craft back then. What saved my butt was the App. Flightradar24 pro. I think it is a must have. It is so spot on the dir. and first always believed me if I said, "in 30 seconds it will be clear."

After our first blocking rehearsal, one of our Producers told us that our show, "Smash" had been nominated for a Golden Globe. I've never been on a show or film that's been nominated for that. Sounds cool. There aren't any categories for sound but there certainly are some shows and films that other members here have worked on or that have been discussed here on "the board" (probably most notably for sound, "Les Miserables" was nominated too). Here's a list I found online: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/13/golden-globes-nominations-list-2013_n_2292668.html Josh

Had the great pleasure of working with Mr Loggia twice during my film career. Once with our host JW on "Officer and a Gentleman" and again on Prizzi's Honor". What a voice. Good guy. We did this scene on day one of the film. RIP Robert. CrewC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=213W7mLSZE4
