ZachryKarisch300 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hello all, I recently discovered this forum and am learning new techniques/knowledge each time I log on and read. I wanted to reach out and ask for any advice anyone can lend? I'm based out of Austin, Texas and have primarily worked on shorts, several independent feature films, a couple of feature documentaries and am looking to take that next step up the metaphorical job pole that is the film industry. I'm a hard, disciplined worker who is always willing to learn new and innovative ways to capture the best audio possible. If anyone in the Austin/Central Texas area is in need of a boom operator or a sound assistant, I would greatly appreciate any and all who reach out to contact me. Thanks!

studiomprd Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) WELCOME ZK : " several independent feature films, a couple of feature documentaries " well, you are already doing features! wow! and there is an "available for work" section, on jwsoundgroup.net ... and you could introduce yourself to us with your story in the "who I am..." thread.

Philip Perkins Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 And glorious it is. A word of caution: requests for specific advice (technical, interpersonal and otherwise) are usually answered and sometimes hotly debated at length. Overly general questions or unspecific asks for career advice are usually ignored or ridiculed and then ignored. In other words--do your homework before you jump into the mosh here, and BE SPECIFIC. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VASI Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi Have solutions before your sound mixer start to think for solutions. There is no problems; only solutions for best sound on set. I hope to not see topics from you like "the best microphone". Be specific as Philp said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 IMO, the best advice for anyone starting out is: "Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut." To elaborate a bit: --Be ready and willing to do what's necessary. --Do not to try to show how much you know. --A positive attitude is your strongest asset.

patoggt Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Dude this place is THE BOMB! My advice as a newbie that i am, check always on google with the tag "jwsoundgroup.net" and then what you are looking for in the forum. The search on jw its kind of funky...the worst thing you can do is to post questions that already have been answered. If we all keep posting questions as we please, then its imposible to find the posts on google.

JonG Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 My advice: keep reading. There are years worth of threads here. Just keep reading. Any questions you may have you will find the answer to if you do your own digging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
