soundrolling Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 I chat to Simon Hayes about Greensleeve, an answer to multiple booms on sets with a green sleeve that allows the boom to be closer without the worry of foreground actors and physical props. Quote

Olle Sjostrom Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 Great stuff! My first thought when I saw this topic was that Simon had invented a term for our profession, like blue collar or white collar.. the truth was better Quote
Derek H Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Awesome stuff. Thanks for posting. Quote
Nate C Posted September 21, 2015 Report Posted September 21, 2015 Matt and Simon, thank you . This makes me wish I did more green screen work. Simple and ingenious. Would love to see in operation, shortening or extending the pole and keeping cable tension on the pole whilst thegreen sleeve is on. The bit about using the pull loop with you finger for tension whilst booming made me smile, as this is a method I was taught early on to correct accidental cable slackness on the pole mid take. Oh and I may be a bit of a panamic fanatic, so yeah there's that to. Quote
