I have always been attracted to art. I do not draw, or paint, although I love to take photo's. I love when I can take an artistic approach to a scene. For a couple of years now, I have really been digging "street art", and found a great website for it, in case anyone else is interested. www.streetartutopia.com Here some recent art finds I would like to share with everyone. Enjoy! and

Sorry the cart is not configured yet, but you'll get the idea. Probably won't get it well dialed until this fall at which time I'll post a follow-up. Note the break-down feature and groovy roller-skate wheels on the top mod allowing me to roll it into my truck. I mounted the 01V and traveler so you can better see utility and scale. All (most?) of my electronics will stay on the top mod and all power stuff except distro will live below. 2-3U drawer will go under bottom mod full shelf. Still leaves room in the bottom mod for all my power needs. Still planning to keep a chase cart handy for larger jobs, but this will be a big upgrade for me. EB

My old mini-van has 195k on it and let me down the last time I had to leave town, so I got this one. Rent A Center turns its vans every 3 years. They are custom built by Superior Industries, the guys that make BIG trucks. The have a custom solid bulkhead and 2 rows of E-track with carpet on 3 sides. They were all over the country a few months ago after auction, and I found this 2009 on Ebay for a good price. It only had 27k miles on it. I got a shelf off my last show for free, put security screens on the windows, and bought a ramp. It's not as cool as the cube Phil Palmer used to have, but I don't own that much stuff. Here's the before and after.

I didn’t take pictures but I just watched a couple of movies where mics were totally positioned wrong and it really made me laugh. One was the Dalton Trumbo biopic and the other was the Chess records film. Both show side address mics repeatedly being pointed at the source as if they were top address mics. Not to mention that some of the mics pictured had not been invented yet in some cases. I thought it would be funny to start a thread for people to post a screen shot whenever they see something like that!

Hello All, I am a big fan (and regular visitor) of this site since its inception and an occasional poster of late. Thanks Jeff for an invaluable contribution to our community. I truly appreciate your initiative and ongoing effort with this discussion group. A few months ago I decided to build a new sound cart and started looking at other mixers' rigs on the web. I visited several of you on set, taking pictures and asking questions. Well, a busy year of docu mixing, reality supervising/mixing, and occasional scripted gigs ensued and the project largely got put on hold. I've gotten by okay and I'm actually glad I waited, because I have a much clearer idea now o…

I have found a light and small solution for booming wireless with my TRX 900 and Schoeps CMIT. The 48V supply has been modified as it didn`t work with Schoeps in a previous version. Still bit more noisy than hardwired and not as open and rich like on cable but good for the moments when I have to go wireless ... more detailed: http://www.jwsound.net/SMF/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1295.0;attach=454 Matthias

Jim Feeley asked a question regarding an image I posted in a thread that was loosely about the H4n. I thought, instead of taking that thread completely off course I'd re-post the image here and answer the questions as best I could. Well... The bike setup didn't work as well as I thought, and so this isn't entirely a success story - but I was very glad I tried. Regarding samples, I'm travelling right now but I'll try to put some up in the New Year when I'm back. I ended up with a reasonably well isolated recorder so it worked out in that sense. The recorder in the image was also reversed to try to get the sounds of the rear of the bike. …

I've wanted to go to a rack based sound cart for years, and tried on several occasions, but the base structure and stability were always the problem. Brett Grant-Grierson has built several carts for mixers in the LA area and I met up with him to start a new project. The start to finish photos can be found here: http://web.mac.com/pwpmixer/iWeb/pwpmixer/sound%20cart.html Here's a photo of the finished product, before the gear is mounted. ~pwp

This is for you baby-boomer sound folks who remember film docs back in the old days. I've been working on a doc, being shot on a mini-digi "burrito cam". After much discussion+tests, I was able to convince the filmmakers (who are cutting the film themselves) to go full double system for sound. (They discovered that while the tinycam made pretty good pictures it badly sucked for sound, and the subject of the doc is a famous musician...). So they got a decent sounding camera mic to mount on the camera, I roll 24/48 on my rig and we sync with....the booper. We do LONG rolls (fewer sync points), and the shooter (old film guy, so knows the drill) shoots the booper whenev…

For awhile I was using a modified baby stroller as a sound cart (seen here) and recently I decided it was time for an upgrade. I liked the idea of a two-module sound cart, much like the RastOrder SU, so I built my own using the 80/20® framing system. I purchased the Chindha recorder brackets first, then designed the top module around that. I then built the base module from the measurements of the top module. I made it wide enough so I can add rack rails in the future if I need to. The top module connects to the base module with four T-knob screws. I purchased a 3' lon…

I finally got round to taking a few decent pictures of my cart. Here we go : Thats my cart all closed up and ready to roll around on set. On this angle you can see the top road case with front doors closed. Thats where all the gear is located. Below is a drawer that can slide forward. You can also see one of the removeable hooks that are at the back, as well as the antenna poles (manfrotto light stand centre piece) that are retracted, next to the boompoles. Here she is with the doors open to reveal the gear protected inside. you can also see the antenna poles extended (not fully extended for this picture, but they can reach up to 7-8 feet.) I had a…

Kind of a little bit of self-promotion, but not really. This is what I do on the side to sound. I've set up a little gallery, please check it out if you're interested. scopepic.tumblr.com Here's a taste, taken while I was on vacation at the end of last year.

Wolf pointed this one out. It's a great picture of a Fisher Boom sitting in the wide open spaces of the Nevada Desert. The girl is Monroe. The co-star is Gable. The movie is "The Misfits" 1961.

I finally found the picture I had been looking for, Garrett Brown and my father setting up for the historical first use of the Steadicam with the shot through the migrant camp on "Bound For Glory." I wish it were a larger photo with better resolution but this is all I could find.

So, while we were at IBC, we were made aware of a really cool bar called the Whisky Cafe. They have over 1500 different bottles of Whisky on hand, plus lots of other stuff. If you are ever in Amsterdam, and you enjoy yourself a good whisky, check this place out. Here are two pictures.

I found this behind the scenes, done by Stanley Kubricks daughter, Vivian, at age 17. I can't help but see the comfort level that the actors have with her, during what would seem to be some tough scenes to have a camera following around. She also edited and covered the show really well. I particularly like the cutting from film to her footage within the scene to be remarkable. I looked her up on IMDB to see if I've seen anything else she has done, and there doesn't seem to be anything listed there. She seemed to have a well understanding at her age, and the pedigree. I'm suprised she never did much else in the business. Then again, maybe she was smart. Enjoy, I know I did…
