AVUrlacher Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 ROOT Sports Northwest & Seahawks All Access are looking to hire local boom operators, with equipment, for Seahawks road dates this season. We are interested in obtaining a quote for your services & equipment rental. The shoot is for a TV show called Seahawks All Access. You would be working with an ENG photographer who will supply you with a Lectrosonics transmitter to provide a "one way" wireless hop from your boom kit to the camera for a single system shoot with our Sony PDW-700 being the recorder. The gig is documenting pregame team activities, bench/sideline sound in game, and post game podium/locker room sound. There is a bit of run and gun hustle during the pregame, so mobility is key. Official credentials and parking will be coordinated and provided. Equipment requirements: 1 x Boom pole (12’ or longer) Because of certain sideline restrictions this is the shortest pole required (longer the better). 1 x Shotgun Microphone (Sennheiser 416 or equal) w/ shock-mount and wind protection. 1 x Microphone Pre-amp or field mixer with phantom power, at least 1 XLR line output and Headphone output for monitoring. 1 x Headphones 2 x XLR cable for Microphone and Wireless Transmitter connection. (ROOT Sports will provide connectivity for your output cable to our RF TX) **Please travel an extra XLR or breakout cable (minimum 25’) for a backup in case wireless signal is compromised in any way, a source to power your equipment, and rain gear in case of inclement weather. Here are the dates/times for the 2014 Seahawks road schedule (ALL TIMES PST): Sept. 14 @ San Diego 1pm Kickoff / 10am Call Oct. 6 @ Washington DC 5:30pm Kickoff / 2:30pm Call Oct. 19 @ Saint Louis 10am Kickoff / 7am Call Oct. 26 @ Carolina 10am Kickoff / 7am Call Nov. 16 @ Kansas City 10am Kickoff / 7am Call Nov. 27 @ San Francisco 5:30pm Kickoff / 2:30pm Call Dec. 7 @ Philadelphia 1:00pm Kickoff / 10am Call Dec. 21 @ Arizona 5:30pm Kickoff / 2:30pm Call Please PM if you are interested and available. I will supply more information as we move forward. Thank you, Andrew 2014 Seahawks RS Schedule.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVUrlacher Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Local right? Also..are PMs not sufficiently flagged to recipients? I mean.. why is "PM sent" often posted in these? Rich, Correct. We would like to hire local to the venues they're playing at. re: PM post... Yes, recipients of PMs are "flagged" or notified without problem. I think people redundantly post "PM sent" as another option to alert the recipient, and in turn hope to speed up the process.?.? Also, in the items for sale thread, it seems to be a way of letting others know that you have taken action on the item for sale, and they can then "get in line" and reply that if the deal falls through they are also interested.?.? .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael McQueen Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 JonG, I did this gig a few years ago and it was not an ENG gig. i used my mm-1, boom, mic, etc… plugged into the smqv they provided me with and went to town. its a boom op gig.

studiomprd Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) spaul: " I'll work the Super Bowl for free. " just like the half time show... but beware, I think the NFL will want you to pay them! https://www.google.com/url?q=http://deadline.com/2014/09/super-bowl-halftime-performers-pay-to-play-nfl-2015-829938/&sa=U&ei=WjUPVPqjFYSF8gXSzYKoDA&ved=0CBIQFjAG&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNFw9R7BrCb1WuYnx_5ZDRd3BUTSzA Edited September 9, 2014 by studiomprd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Great gig. I'll work the Super Bowl for free. A sure way never to get job referrals from professional sound mixers. At SB XLVI, I had the best seat in the house, maintained sharp focus, did the job well, and was paid properly -- all as it should be. It boils down to: If you're not worth being paid to work, you're the wrong person for the job. An entertainer doing a performance for the exposure is an entirely different matter.

studiomprd Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 JB: " An entertainer doing a performance for the exposure is an entirely different matter. " agreed, but paying to play...? (and the NFL is not my idea of a charity!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Reilly Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Various live music clubs in LA have (unfortunately) been charging bands to play for decades. I guess they have decided to treat the halftime show equivalent to an extended commercial slot. Will be interesting to see if the acts (more conspicuously) work that angle themselves.

beartrax Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 "agreed, but paying to play...? (and the NFL is not my idea of a charity!)" isn't the nfl some type of charity? after all they're tax exempt, at least the league office is.... Maybe there's a tax deduction somewhere for someone...

Jim Feeley Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Great gig. I'll work the Super Bowl for free. A sure way never to get job referrals from professional sound mixers. At SB XLVI, I had the best seat in the house, maintained sharp focus, did the job well, and was paid properly -- all as it should be.... John, I think/guess that spaulgal was at least partly joking. But let me say the for the sports gigs I've had covering sports I like and understand I'm usually so busy with my job and the story we're after that I usually little (or just a narrow) idea what's going on in the field or on the course. "Best seats in the house and no time to sit in them." -- Me to a camera guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
