taylormadeaudio Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have a list of excuses that I alternate between: "I felt a disturbance in the force." "I have to floss my cat." "I have to study for a blood test." "My elevator isn't rowing with a full deck of marbles." I've only used the last one once -- they stopped calling. ~tt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisk Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 How much do you want to bet the $50 mixer looked out his rain-spattered window at 5am and said to himself, "I wonder if they'll believe I crashed my car?" I just sprayed root beer out of my nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"For the love of the game..." That usually means no pay. At best, $100. At absolute best, you can negotiate $200 for sound and gripe about how they're pouring all their money into an Alexa, but hey! It's a six week passion project which you can comfortably live off your savings. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccsnd Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 but WORF IS DIRECTING IT! so that means you should work for cheap no questions asked! someone that used to be on tv is involved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) If Michael Dorn, a fine gentleman, can afford to own and fly (pilot) his own jet aircraft (he used to) then he can afford to pay folks to make his movie. " a period Western short film. Horses, gun fights, and beautiful women. We've got it all." ... in three days?? he knows better!

Max Futterman Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Good point. I guess that's worth bleeding my savings for a month. Also, I'll need to bring 12 wireless, right? I record with an FR-2, but hey! You ain't paying enough to get someone who knows how impractical that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Futterman Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Worf did not fly the Enterprise, he was security officer, and was stationed aboard the Enterprise... But season 1 prior to Tasha's demise, he was just some guy... not too clear what his position was that year. And lets not forget in "The Most Toys" when he took over Ops when Data was presumed dead.

geordi Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 As a bridge officer, the chief of security is in the chain of command. On the Enterprise D, that would be in order: Picard, Riker, LaForge, Worf, Crusher, Data, Troi. Worf would also have temporary rotations to the Conn and Ops consoles to maintain proficiency in those stations, again as part of his duties as a bridge officer. Crusher is listed in the chain of command even though she is not technically a bridge officer, because she is part of the command staff as the Chief Medical Officer. The problems happen when either Data goes berzerk, or someone lets Troi drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Berzins Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Crusher made a big deal out of passing the bridge officer's exam later in the series and pushed Troi to do it. It was a major story point for a number of episodes when she was given temporary command of the Enterprise for one reason or another.

Decent parts one and two with Crusher in command, Thine Own Self when Troi took the bridge officers test. Weirdly, we only see her in command in Disaster, which aired two years prior.

ccsnd Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 got this forwarded to me from a gig I enquired about. "if the sound guy can record into the camera and have a boom and boom pole then great go ahead and book him please. $150 is no favor. That is the going rate."

Rich Reilly Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 They should know the "boom" is included, boom pole extra. Actually..depends on how loud of a "boom" they want. Sound guy, Out of masochistic curiosity, what market is this? Sounds like mine. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
