Blas Kisic Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 How do they have the balls to offer less than minimum wage, and not only expect professional gear as well as experience, but even want to see links to your credits?!!

Jay Rose Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Please include with submission a reel of your previous sound work. Submissions without reels will NOT be considered. I worked in radio, back in analog days. Every now and again, we'd see an ad in Broadcasting magazine for a 'beginning announcer'. It would promise decent pay and shift at an out-of-the-way station. It would also request a 'longform demo reel'. We'd laugh. This was basically that station's way of replacing their stock of blank tape... --- [Totally off-topic, but in the 'recycled tape' category: Through most of the 70s and early 80s, my sound studio had distinctive blue boxes for 5" and 7" reels. We sent out a lot of radio dubs - hundreds a week - and it was cheaper to get custom pre-printed boxes than plain boxes and printed labels. The boxes had my name on them, since that was also the name of the company. ... Sold the studio in '84 and went to work for a big post house. One of our gigs was playing home base for CBS Sports when playoffs were in Boston. Playoff time. I'm about to mix a live sports insert. Producer hands me the v/o, recorded by their network voice in LA. It's in a blue box with my name on it! The spot title and advertiser had been crossed out, and "Boston V/O" scribbled in. I didn't say a word. ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Waldron Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 What exactly goes into a building owner's reel? I guess how you got screwed over because somebody plugged in a 2K in one of your 15 amp building circuits, heated up the wiring, and burnt your place down after shoot was over.

Marc Wielage Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 At the last minute both of our sound guys have had to leave town and we are now in need of a boom operator. Hmmm, if "both" sound guys bailed, why are they only willing to hire a single replacement? It's funny how I'm never concerned with "more footage for my reel," but I am interested in being paid a reasonable day rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Rose Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 therefore, there is a HIGH chance of your name being credited on the season premiere episode There is a high chance the only credit will be the production company. There is a tiny chance the production mixer's name will be in tiny type, in an unreadably fast crawl limited to half the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
