Henchman Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I mixed a pilot for "The Saint" last week, and Glenn did an amazing jobs. Scenes that usually have problematic sound, like an exterior busy street scene, were very clean. Very very few hums, buzzes and tones. Thanks.

Whit Norris Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Very nice Glenn! He is a great guy and a real gentleman. Glenn has helped me out many times over the years. Whit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I like Glenn a lot and he is a really good sound mixer. I have only two problems with Glenn B.: I don't get to see him often enough (maybe once a year at some event), and he is another GLEN(N) --- is that 1 N or 2?

glennberk Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hey, my soundie brothers and sisters -- talking about me while my headphones are unplugged ? Compliments in broad daylight ? All I can say (with both of my Ns) is THANK YOU for the attention and the very kind words. This remake/pilot episode of 'The Saint' was a pleasure to work on, based on the director, actors and crew - and a challenge to record sound for, based on the locations and slim support resources (low budget, doncha' know). I must say that my crew, John Hays and Daniel Quintana, busted their butts to stay ahead of the juggernaut of our schedule and locations, and we enjoyed great support from our director, Simon West. I'm truly flattered to the point of blushing - thanks so much for the shout-out, Mark - and thanks to all you other kind word-givers (many Oscar congrats to you, Simon). I'm really proud to be a part of our community -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Let me not be the last or least to say congrats to Glenn and his crew. I think it's great to have a shout out and feedback from a post mixer like Mark. I find it a bit ironic that Glenn thanks Simon West for his help. He is or was a nice guy when I worked with him when he was 1st starting out, but he was all about the visual and not so much concerned about sound. Glad he has learned the value of our craft. Keep up the good work. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPSharman Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I worked for Glenn as a utility a couple of times. A really talented mixer. I learned a great deal watching him and listening to his work, even if it was brief. Great mix tracks. That's what it's all about.

Simon Hayes Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think it is very positive for our industry when Re recording mixers and Dialogue editors tell Producers and Directors when a Production Sound Mixer did a great job.

Ron Meyer Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Glenn is a top notch guy! I remember way back when he was starting out....yep i am getting old. Glenn was and is everyone's favorite sound mixer/customer/friend/you name it. Congrats Glenn, well deserved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henchman Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just so you know what Glenn was up against. We are talking a fast paced, almost non-stop action, 42 minute pilot. With racing cars, crashing helicopters, fights, noisy machine rooms, noisy street scenes, and Downtown noisy rooftop scenes. You name it. It's in there. We had two days to mix it. And it ended up soundings great. And there's no way it could have sounded as good without the tracks I had to work with. And really, the only ADR was pretty much for add lines, line changes or change in performance. Very very little ADR was needed for technical reasons.

glennberk Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thank you again for the compliments, Mark (I'm in full blush as a result). Most important to note imo is that MY CREW - John Hays and Daniel Quintana - and I really tried to be vigilant and 'defend the sound' at all times. Our relationship with Simon, the director, was quite important - I could ask him, and trust his answers, regarding which part of each camera's setup carried the story-telling audio. (Without Simon's accurate guidance, we might have produced less stellar sound - our DoP was often less-than-collaborative.) Many thanks again for this lavish attention - my crew and I are proud of our work, and we do appreciate the chance to share. Cheers !
