This is a must read, for all of us, young and old, just starting out or already with a long career in sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Salles Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Wow, just started it and I am very impressed in the way she managed to express in writing things that are usually inexpressible or just felt and unspoken. I am of course talking about the human relationship part that is 80% of our job. Not necessary because one would not want to speak about these things but because we tend to see them as instinctive or oversee them as "acquired", learnt or plainly part of us, therefore not worth talking about. But reading about these written in an acute and lucid way not only reminds us that we constantly keep on learning but moreover brings a whole new set of perspectives.

tourtelot Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Yeah, she sure does a good job of explaining the workings of our crazy dysfunctional workplace. I read this as a seasoned vet and though "man, I wish I had read this in 1980". Nicely done. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone that can use Amazon, Amazon France has it. https://www.amazon.fr/Behind-Sound-Cart-Veterans-Guide/dp/1736290002/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=Behind+the+Sound+Cart&qid=1612096375&sr=8-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrimic Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Very enjoyable and inspiring reading. It's rare to have a book that doesn't talk about technique or theory, but puts the human experience at the center. I recognized myself in a lot of annecdotes and filming stories. It's also interesting for us European operators to note the differences and similarities in our working methods on both sides of the Atlantic. A book to recommend to all.
