Im still pretty new to production sound with around a dozen projects mixing and/or booming under my belt. Can someone give me the low down on the various unions? How do they work? How do you get in/out? Benifits? Experiences? I'll be honest I have never been a huge fan of "Unions", but it seems that it is the nature of the industry so I would like to learn how they work. Thanks! Brian

We just got stuck shooting in the rain all day Monday. I was comfortably dry under a pop tent, but my boom op and microphones were getting rained on. We stuck a bag over the wind screen to protect the mic, but the big drips made a lot of noise on the plastic. How do you guys protect you're gear in the rain?

Hi all, I just finished watching "San Francisco" from 1936 and I just have to say WOW. Amazing special effects for the day, and the sound was really good.

If the software permits it, could I suggest that participants in this site be given the ability to edit their posts? Some of us use devices like the BlackBerry to post, and when small screens are used there are times when, for whatever reason, there are grammatical or spelling errors that are not apparent until after comments are posted. Then of course there are situations where one wants to refine the content or tone of comments. Not essential, but something to consider.

Hey Jeff, what's your take on the confrontation between the IA International and Local 600 over the issue of camera operators? I'm not familiar with the situation except thru email blasts I've been getting lately. They say that there has never been a non-ratification of a contract by a Hollywood Local before, and there seems to be a lot of acrimony between the camera people and the national leadership.
