Jim Gilchrist Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 No fancy gear or big event for this view. I was fortunate enough to spend this last Saturday with 42 WW II vets from the Texas Coast who were brought here to Washington to see their memorial on what's called an Honor Flight. Shortly before this was taken when we first arrived at the Memorial, there were 4 Honor Flight groups visiting, meaning that the veterans outnumbered the regular visitors. The job's not particularly challenging technically or physically demanding but it's the most rewarding gig I have every year. The guys all smile non-stop and bask in the attention they are rightly given. Before his recent serious illness, Bob Dole made it a point to be here and shake the hand and pose for pictures with all his fellow vets for every Honor Flight visit. The youngster in this photo is 86 if I recall correctly and the oldest is 97. One of their group died unexpectedly on the Tuesday before their visit. Best regards, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Wielage Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Just worked a 3D shoot at LA Memorial Coliseum, recording the USC Marching Trojan Band in M/S stereo with my small SD744 rig. Amazing sound, incredible experience to hear "Tusk" 20 feet from the band, right on the field. Three simultaneous 3D cameras, one on the crane next to me. Hmmm -- 3 x 3D cameras... does that make 9D? --Marc W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old school Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 My bad. Not really a good pic of my rig or office. My cart is on the back deck of the insert car. I stood up and shot this pic. The bead boards n lights n gels were not an issue as the windows were mostly up. We got all the sound needed better than most times. These kind of shoots are fun when the sound is good and the weather and terrain are cool, but I think we could n should shoot these kinds of scenes on a VFX stage for many reasons. That is what I wish we could do with the new tool set we have to work with now. It might be a bit more boring, but the art of illusion is not always exciting, but when it works, it is magic.

Philip Perkins Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 This is exactly the sort of pic I had in mind w/ this thread! Not a view OF the office, a view of what the mixer sees FROM the office--your point of view on the shoot. Like subjective rather than a "here I am on location" type pic.... phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnpaul215 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 End of the day of filming at Spaceport America in NM yesterday for Travel Channel. That's Virgin Galactic's WhiteKnight2/Spaceship2 in the bg next to the new hangar. We got to see it do a short test flight. Really Amazing. Looking for passengers to talk to, we met the first guy to drop $200,000 on a ticket. I figured I needed a picture of my Lectro gear being back in its home state. I took more pictures with my DSLR that I'll post when I get home. http://www.flickr.com/photos/xjohnpaulx/with/6256001635/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hunter Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 only 4 more noob question, did you go wireless to the cam or will you sync the sound in later? if so are you timecoded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 A view from my office at the final bow of Philippe Jaroussky and the "Apollo's Fire" ensemble, for a shoot @ Hertz Hall @ Cal for French TV. Dinky rig since I had to do lots of doco stuff (the day before all in cabs and on foot throughout SF) in between before and after everything with aerobic repatching and re-configing the 744T to get back into music recording mode. Wonderful music if you like Baroque stuff (which I do). Big props to Doug D (who passed the gig along) and Jay C (who slipped me the passcode to the place where I could grab the cable ends from a pair of DPA omnis flown in ORTF over the stage). This "saved the movie" for me after last minute concert manager nixage of the stand for my main pair, after being repeatedly told it was all good. 450' feet of cable to that pair but worth it! Fave moment: at the end of the job I told Jaroussky (the soloist) and the French director that I'd had fun pretending I was a European for the last few days: they answered as one: "NOT European, FRENCH!!" phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do a lot of choral and orchestral recording using ORTF and I've never heard of OMNI ORTF. Nope, omnis. Go figure, but that's what they had flown and they weren't changing them for me. Actually, this pair was arrived at through long experimentation and this is what the Music Dept likes I guess. Me, I was just extraordinarily lucky that there were high quality mics of any type already flown in there. No time and no traction--life in doc-world! phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackHenry Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Nope, omnis. Go figure phil p The they really only have a spaced pair, not ORTF. ORTF has to be cardioids for it to be ORTF. I use a pair of Schoeps CCM4Lg in ORTF for choir and orchestra. Fantasic microphones. ORTF described Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in the physical orientation of ORTF, that mic positioning and distance, so to satisfy you perhaps we can call the set up "ORTF Americain" or something. I'm glad you like your Schoeps. In any case the sound was lovely and I was a beggar not a chooser at this gig. phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
