So I thought I'd post my latest configuration. I mounted the monitors vertically to allow a clear view of the computer. I installed my new PSC PowerMax Ultra underneath along with a Optima Yellow Top and a regular Pelican 33aH. Under the Powermax is a 125W Pure Sine inverter which runs the board, the FF800, and the DVD-RAM burner. As you can see, I have a little trailer which fits nicely in a standard garage. It therefore also fits in a regular parking space or a little corner somewhere, and is easy to move around by hand. That makes the teamsters happy. Robert

Hi, this is our new Rastorder It got some miles lately on 3 European Featurefilms . I must say we are really happy with it, the modular Idea is really working well (being able to cut the cart in 2) Therefore we powered everything from 2 Vlock-videocamerastyle batteries on the top module. So Far, so good Thank you very much Rastorder !

Hi All, I've received a few requests to 'show my stuff'. But you're all a bunch of cheapskates. Not one $5 bill in my g string! (but I'll check the rest of my guitar when I get a chance). Anyway, here's the messy cart with my new Deva 16 and Mix 12. Also includes 8 Zaxcom radios, 2 Audio Ltd receivers, rf splitter amp, Comtek transmitter, Zaxcom IFB, WinRadio Spectrum Analyzer, 2 monitors, Mac Mini, Power Supplies and Distro, Antenna Mast for UHF and 2.4 gHz, Comtek Antenna, Presonus Firebox, etc. This cart covers just about all my recording and playback needs. It weighs in at 210 lbs. Now if I can only figure out how to get the pictures on here.... Hmmm,…

July/August 2001. Coats Island, in the north of Hudson's Bay, Canada. I was there with a director, a DP, and 3 Inuit guides for 2 weeks, part of a 32 day nature doc shoot. When this picture was taken, it was just me and the DP. We were 150-200 feet from 2-300 sunbathing walruses (IIRC). It was the warmest day of the shoot, 7-10 celcius (45-50 fahrenheit), but warm enough for the mosquitoes to come out. I was facing a very light breeze, and they seemed to enjoy the shelter my black back was providing. According to the DP, my back was eventually covered with an almost one inch thick layer of mosquitoes. I ended up turning off my headphones because all I could hear was "Bzz…

We were rigging in this field, but the vehicle was driven by an 18-year-old actor on public roads in a state park, with no ranger or police escort or supervision of any kind, and with traffic (albeit light) flowing freely in both directions. Robert

My wife Carol worked on a few of the movies that Art has done since they both worked with Jack Nicholson a lot. I have posted these pictures before but I am posting 2 of them again for those who haven't seen them. In one you can see the young AR in the upper left hand corner (talking to I believe my old friend Brian McCarty). - Jeff Wexler

I found some old movie pictures, some scanned from a book by Leonard Maltin on cinematography, and a few of them show some very old microphones and booms. The one from "Medium Cool" shows the huge blimp my father had built to keep his Eclair CM3 camera quiet (sort of) and Chris Newman's boom operator using a rather long Sennheiser 805 microphone. - Jeff Wexler

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 was in the Louvre about 2 months ago, and they were trying to update some of their sculpture exhibits by having modern artists create pieces that interacted with the traditional Greco-Roman statues. Lo and behold, there was a statue of a boom operator capturing the silent majesty of a white marble Zeus. Score one for the sound folk!

In January of 2005 I was in Sumatra, Indonesia to document the aftermath of the tsunami and the relief efforts that were taking place. At the end of our stay we were in the capital city of Medan, preparing to fly back home the next day, when the producer learned that one of the country's top Gamelan orchestra's was giving a concert that evening to raise funds for the victims. Naturally he saw this as a great opportunity to get authentic traditional Indonesian music for use in the project. After a number of hurried phone calls by our interpreter/fixer we obtained permission to record part of the show. I was using an AKG C451 with a CK8 shotgun capsule for my boom mic and h…

An amateur photographer just visiting the set in Allenford, California, took this great picture of all of us working on Bound For Glory. I don't know who Erik is but he was kind enough to find me and my father and sent this picture. There is so much going on in this cramped frame --- Hal Ashby, two cameras, a Panavision camera and an Arri BL, Pat Suraci's legs seen standing on the Fisher platform, and then there is me: Nagra 4.2 with 3 old RCA style black knobs fitted, sitting on top of my modified Sela which has Kepex and Gain Brain modules in a custom built box by Ivan Kruglak. Enjoy. - Jeff Wexler

I had to think where to post this --- "Images of Interest" seemed good, it is after all "images" with motion and sound of course. So, any of you interested in the rare end credits (it was only on a handful of prints when the film was released and is missing from most of the video releases) can see it on my website http://web.mac.com/jwsound/Site/video.2a.html It is also a chance to see Don Coufal's intriguing and cryptic credit: "Boom Operator (and then some)" Regards, Jeff Wexler

Just watched this film on TV, and it's still one of my favorite Sci-Fi flicks. I saw that Tommy Causey mixed, and after a short search, found some nice BTS stills on The Official John Carpenter Website Including this one of Jeff Bridges in front of the sound cart: Any good stories from this set? Thanks, Tom

Hi all, Here are some photos of our SU cart, made by Rob Stalder from Rastorder, in Australia. It has already been dubbed 'the darlek' by some of those who worked with me when we were running it in. The wiring is still a work in progress, but the important thing is that it works. Cosmetics of running cables will be resolved soon. We need to replace the antenna bar with something more sturdy akin to Richards new bar ( http://www.jwsound.net/SMF/index.php?topic=2590.msg17817#new ) Lights are the littlite LED Edirol R4 Pro is a Place holder. Upgrading soon most likely to a 788t. Comments or sugestions welcomed. Thanks, Michael and Tfer

Hey everyone. I bought a Quad box a few weeks back, so I thought to myself, hell just design my own antenna set up. So, here's the finished rack! Ok, so here's how I did it.. First I bought 3 feet of 1-1/2 in x 1-1/2 in 14 gauge square tubbing. Sealed it up with welded end caps, and then welded small tubes on the bottom center and offset on one side. I then cut holes in the tubs, added 3/8 nuts and found some handles to use as tighteners. Powdercoated the whole thing to match. These tubs fit over baby pins and tighten down. The Mass is a Murry top half of a C-Stand and was just purchased, and can mount to the cart af…

I just got back from Hamilton Bermuda, where I worked on a whirlwind production of a 60 minute interview show for TV One network. We were there to interview Bermuda's Elected leader, Premier Dr. Ewart Brown. I had to have a rig suitable for a 3 camera sit down interview, where "A" and "C" cameras had isos of the close-ups they were on, and "B" needed a stereo feed. I also needed a rig that could go out and do ENG field audio with walk and talk interviews as well. This also all had to fit in a Pelican case. My solution was the SD442, 744t, comtek 72 kit, tivoli PAL speaker for video village monitor (with a comtek plugged into it), 3 lectro 211 kits with Sankens and Rycote …

Hey all, I'm sure we have all had these type of experiences where the DOP assures everyone they will be shooting with the prac light on the set.... He ended up using 2x 2k HMI's and a set of KinoFlows.
