Farewell to Manzanar - Art Rochester, Michael Evje

Recommended Posts

Nice picture of Art Rochester (mixing, behind sound cart) and Michael Evje (long time retired) booming on Farewell to Manzanar, probably around 1975 or 1976. Art's cart is the Michael Evje designed upright-style cart that has inspired us all in building our sound carts. Also pictured is the custom "butterfly" windscreen, a windscreen fashioned from acoustifoam and nothing else, usually constructed for each job (since it never really held itself together for long). This is a design that both Michael Evje and Don Coufal used for years for the Schoeps microphone (and yes, as you probably already know, we used the Schoeps outdoors a lot, even to this day). Don may have even worked on this show and the windscreen in the picture may be one that he built up.

Great picture and story. My neighbor Vernon Kato played a kid in this film. Based his part on his father, iirc. In college, Vernon studied with Emiko Omori, who directed the wonderful documentary about Japanese-American internment, Rabbit In The Moon. Vernon's a local news camera guy now.
