larry long Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Way back when I was a young cable man we had some t shirts made of a quote that was I believe from Haskel Wexler "Why grow up when you can make movies?" I alway liked that sentiment. CrewC Awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmahaAudio Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 A real t-shirt, worn by the photo department of a newspaper, "We Give You More Than You Deserve" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryF Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 One that I remember being in someone's office at all organizations was a glaring Sylvester J. Pussycat with the caption: "Poor planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on my part. Now will you please take your silly ass problem down the hall." Best, Larry F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'd be afraid to wear that T-shirt on most of my shoots, Larry! I'm enough of a sarcastic curmudgeon as it is. I'd rather wear a more positive, optimistic shirt: GOOD FOR SOUND Something like that. (Maybe add "At least it was before the Red camera fan started" in smaller letters.)

Blas Kisic Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Oh yeah. I want "don't stand behind the boom operator" The number of people who I've had to ask if they like their toes being trodden on or my elbow in their face. I usually stake my ground during rehearsals and/or look at potential offenders, telling them "I'm gonna need that space." BL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Campion Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Where's that pic of the hair dryer with the RED logo inside it? Thats definitely a sound department one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Love the Red idea, but the camera department often hates us enough as it is. I came up with one today after a shoot: THIS IS A SOUND-HOSTILE LOCATION! (And it was, too.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Wielage Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Cafe Press will print anything on a T-shirt for $26 each: http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/index.aspx?page=personalized_product_services.aspx#cloth If you order a dozen, it goes down to half that.

If you can come up with a design in a "normal" format (TIFF, JPEG, PDF, etc) you can probably find a local t-shirt printer that will crank them out for $5 each for a couple/few dozen.

VASI Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 "23.976 Speed Limit - I'm Legal Officer" "23.976 Speed Limit - I'm Legal Sound Persona" (legitimate, rightful, legal what is correct?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 In America, we'd say: 23.976fps: It's not just a good idea... it's the law! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Maloney Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Too much print for a shirt but the other day I am on a gig Following the camera man and producer and someone shouts out " Ha the sound guy is always the old guy " Really struck me as funny and mostly true Tom Maloney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
