on "Postman" again, Sven Nykvist (wonderful DP and wonderful human being) look at Sony television sitting on a funky cart. This was the early days of video assist (no, not the really early Jerry Lewis system) and was being done by Louis Mahler who pioneered video assist systems for Hal Ashby, Bob Rafaelson and others.

The camera is in the picture boat but there was a nearby "follow boat" where most likely Art Rochester may have been riding with the recorder. It is possible that Art was on the shore and it was one of the rare instances of wireless boom in those days.

This was on "The Postman Always Rings Twice", 1981 which Art Rochester mixed and Rick Thornton was the boom operator. Doing this scene in the rain, an improvised protective cover for the Rycote windscreen was built from hogs hair. The hogs hair covering works to disipate the water hitting the mic and thereby lessening the noise of the rain on the mic (but eventually the water passes through and ges through the Rycote and to the mic).

note the custom EV "football" windscreen which actually houses 2 Schoeps microphones (see 2 XLR connectors on the bale) for stereo ambience recording. On top of the sound cart you might recognize an outboard MS matrix decoder we used for these recordings. The Nagra on the cart is still my venerable mono 4.2; we would get the Nagra 4-S (no TC) out of the truck when we wanted to do the stereo recordings. Also, you can see the smaller windscreen is one of Don Coufal's "butterfly" design --- entirely made of Acoustifoam and very effective, the shape says it all. Regards, Jeff Wexler

"Revenge For A Rape" with Mike Connors (remember "Mannix"?), shooting in Vancouver, Canada, 1975 (runaway production way back then?) I had Rob Young as the Boom Operator --- Rob is a really good guy who went on to be a very accomplished mixer doing such movies as Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven." Regards, Jeff Wexler

one of the films I was so fortunate to do with the late, great Hal Ashby... and I also got to work with my father on that one. So much I have learned from those two and so thankful for the chance to do as many films as I did with Hal... he was the best. Regards, Jeff Wexler

Haskell, my father on the left, Hal Ashby in the middle, and that's me on the right (with hair --- this was 30 years ago!). Everyone always asks what I was doing on the movie... I was the sound mixer and yes I am wearing gloves (dangerous work around moving trains). Regards, Jeff Wexler

The Camera department, Sound department and Video, all had these Kawasaki ATVs, or Mule as they call it, and although it was quite cramped it allowed me to have my whole Cart set up intact and still mobile. You can see Don Coufal holding one of the many windscreen prototypes he built whle we were away in New Zealand for 5 months. Regards, Jeff Wexler
