  1. I'm having trouble contacting Ed Cantú for information on his CAS nomination for "Homeland." If anyone has contact information for him, please let me know here or in a PM. Eric Pierce Co-Editor - Local 695 Quarterly eric@ericsound.com
  2. I was directed to the correct URL for David, and I've sent him an email. I'm still trying to find Diethard. Thanks for the help!
  3. Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't seem to work for me. Seems to direct to a web hosting service...
  4. It's time again the the http://695quarterly.com/ Local 695 Quarterly "Award Nominees" edition, and I have two Production Mixers that I'm having trouble contacting. David Lee in Australia Diethard Keck in either South Africa or Germany If you have any idea how I can contact them, please send me an email, or give them mine: eric@ericsound.com
  5. Thank you! I got an email from the man himself. JW Sound Rocks! E
  6. I'm trying to contact Lorenzo Millan of Baltimore to get some information I need for the Local 695 Quarterly magazine. He's registered as a member here, and I've PM'ed him, but he hasn't been on here for three years, according to his profile, so he probably won't see my PM. If you have his contact info, PM me, or contact me at eric@ericsound.com Thanks, Eric Pierce
  7. Um, Los Angeles sports crews went IATSE in 1994! That's almost twenty years ago, not what I would call "new." http://www.695quarterly.com/695QuarterlyPDFs/695-Quarterly-2010-Summer.pdf
  8. "Blow Out" is a really cool film, especially for sound geeks. On Friday, October 19, the Aero Theater in Santa Monica will be showing a double feature of "Blow Out" with "Blow Up." "Blow Up" is the 1966 film about a fashion photographer that inspired Brian DePalma to make "Blow Out." http://www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/content/blow-up-blow-out
  9. It was great fun! As a west coaster, it was nice to meet the Atlanta folk who contribute so much. Thanks again, Whit!
  10. Fora scratch track, it's no problem, but beware that your tracks may carry farther down the chain than you will expect... I was doing a series a couple of years ago shooting on varicam, post and I agreed that we would not sent audio to the steadycam, and they would sync audio for that camera from my files. I get a call a few days into the show from the director, telling me that there is no audio on any of the steadcam footage for dailies. Apparently, the work flow changed a few times since we had our production meetings, and no one told me that they were now doing dailies right off the HD masters. I called post and told them that I would put a comtek on the steadycam, but it was only for dailies reference and would need to be replaced by my sound files. They said "no problem," and off we went with the rest of the series. They never locked picture until after production wrapped, so I wasn't able to sit in on a mix until about the third or forth episode. At one point, the re-recording mixer turned to me and asked if I ever got the audio problem on the "C" camera fixed. "Huh?"... It turned out that regardless of what post, and specifically the assistant editors told me, they never replaced the tracks. they cut tracks with limited bandwidth comteks, complete with cell phone noise, dropouts, etc., then sent it to the dubbing stage without even a note. They spent hours on it, and finally called the post super, and told them that they couldn't make the audio broadcast quality. The post sup said well we have these DEVA discs, will that help? They ended up spending a lot of money fixing these tracks because post didn't follow through, and I could have gotten really burned... Eric Pierce, CAS
  11. Sorry Senator, I didn't mean to imply you weren't for the organizing effort, I only meant to support your view of the International. Too exhausted last night to write correctly... It really hit home today when an AD, who are under a no-strike clause, drove in. He motioned for some of the crew to come over, and they all hugged for a very long time. When they broke from the hug, they were all in tears. It was clear they felt deceived by a company that lied to them, and the sacrifices they were taking in order to get heath and pension for their families and themselves. They will be picketing the production in public areas in the park where they shoot Monday through Friday, all day. Whenever anyone has any time, even an hour or two, please stop by and show your support. This is a very important action that will benefit all production crews. The King Gillette Ranch is at the intersection of Las Virgenes Road and Mulholland Highway. Eric Pierce, CAS
  12. You’re right about the shortcomings of the International, but the courage of this crew is astounding, and they deserve our full support. I was at the site at 3:45 this morning after reading that the producers wouldn’t even meet to discuss a contract to get their employees on the health and pension plan. These people were broadsided by a company that told them that they cared about them, and would start every season with a big powwow to tell them that they were all family. It seems the company felt they were family until the artists and craftspeople on the show wanted to take care of their own families, at which time the company simply hired replacement workers to replace their “family.” These people didn’t back down, and are paying the price for it. They need our support while they make the sacrifice of leaving their jobs to get the health care that they deserve. Please join me tomorrow Morning to support them. Details are at http://695.com Eric Pierce, CAS
  13. The bug only effected a search in that it issued a password prompt, which you could defeat by hitting "cancel" a dozen times or so. Otherwise there is no reason anyone should get "nothing". justanross, I'm still curious what happened with your search. Please let us know, as we are always on the lookout for bugs. Paul, there are two on-line directories and you can see them both when you log into 695.com and go to the home page. There are two columns; one that says "Public Access" and another that says "695 Members Only". If you log in with a user name and password, you can access both the "Pub" and "695 Only". If you log in as a non member, you are unable to access anything on the "695 Members Only" column. When IATSE local 695 members fill out the on-line Membership Directory form, they have three options to select where each element of information goes. "Online Members Only" is the one only those who logged in with a user and password can access, while "Online Public Directory" is in the column that anyone can get to without entering a user and password. "Print Directory" is what all local 695 members should have received by now in the mail. Local 695 members, remember to keep updating your entry whenever anything changes. That way, anyone looking for you, or someone with your qualifications will always have the most recent information, and your information will be updated and ready for the 2010 directory when we harvest that in March.
  14. Sorry Eric, nothing is coming up for me. I tried doing my own search but nothing. I am in Canada, we don't have one union for sound. But thank you for showing me this. When you say nothing comes up for you, you mean you get a blank page? The link takes me right to a searchable database that I used to look up Ed's info. Eric
  15. It's right here: http://695.com/html/dir-displaypb.php Eric
