Nick Flowers Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Posted May 3, 2016 ...and Maggie Hindmarsh was the gram swinger in the dubbing theatre at Alexandra Palace for years. Fond memories of Temps Perdu! Quote
Howard Posted December 2, 2022 Report Posted December 2, 2022 Oh, Maggie Hindmarsh at Ally Pally! How nice to see her remembered here. I was a rookie sound recordist, in my first position operating the six foot tall sepmag machine adjoining the news dubbing theatre. Her initiative was amazing: in came silent footage of a marching army. The pace didn't match anything in the FX library, so dear Maggie put on a disc of a cement mixer and worked the rotary fader - crunch, crunch, crunch. Perfect, met the approaching 6pm deadline and entirely without rehearsal. Bless her kind and gentle soul. Quote
Izen Ears Posted December 3, 2022 Report Posted December 3, 2022 Great article and amazing story about the cement mixer! Thanks for posting. Quote
