Olle Sjostrom Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 It's over. Finally, finally over. Since January 9 I've been on set doing kitchen nightmares in Sweden. And yes, it's now over. Can hardly grasp it I'm just so happy!!! It's been a wonderful job, but as you know any job gets on your everything after three months. So my view from the office today is a slightly drunken philosophical stare into the sun in the shade of a tree, celebrating midsummer with my wife, my brother and his fiancée. Fantastic weather today, though this June's been really awful. Good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Here's the office on this date in 1995, in Papua New Guinea. The director (guy with the walkie talkie) found this image tonight and sent it to me. Great job, about the founding of the PNG nation (among other things). Incredible sounds and music everywhere I pointed the mic. Note the bloop light--still in use, and not at all new then! phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 This was the view of my office last week on X Factor, in Newcastle, UK, last week. 4 x Digico desks - 2 each, for the PA, and the broadcast mix. In each case one does mainly the acts, and the other does the judges and any playback. This allows to Sound Supervisor (my pal Sean Taylor) to communicate with backstage regarding the next act (radio mic numbers etc...) whilst I am mixing the judging. We also had a monster PA system - great fun indeed..... Back to TV drama tomorrow - Ho Hum!!!!! Kindest regards to all, Simon B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan925 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hey Keenan, Was this actually shot upside-down? How were the acoustics? Despite all the wardrobe changes, was a boom manageable without needing the lavs? Awesome stuff with Squareup. Yo Alan, please excuse my upside down photos, my laptop is on its last legs. the Acoustics were pretty awesome considering the size of the room and the location. Booming was quite manageable even though there were all those wardrobe changes, also helps that I'm good friends with the Gaffer and DP.

Yes, they have their minds around what it is to be making a low budget indie movie and make it a pleasure, unlike some other post facilities I've worked at.... phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 My office today was the Pacolet River in Western North Carolina. Brunch with a good friend (she made a nice frittata and some sliced tomatoes from her garden, plus espresso) who's house has the river in its backyard. Trout fishing on the little river yielded this nice rainbow trout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 You should see some familiar names in the credits Did you do the production sound? If so, my condolences--Glen said he really didn't realize how noisy the RED really was. But it all came out well I think. Not an easy shoot by any means. Thanks for all your work! phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
