Mirror Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 at the boom op workshop... I see one guy in that photo holding the pole like a pro - the rest are not being taught the most basic step, or they were told but are poor listeners.

zoom Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 this was in Zurich, Switzerland. Hosted by 'Focal', a Swiss foundation for training professionals (mostly freelancers) in the cinema business. It was a 5 days workshop for booming - starting with some exercises with a flashlight mounted on the pole instead of a mic and ended with the production of a few very tricky film scenes... In the end everyone has learned at least this: practice is everything! http://www.focal.ch/E/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlisonGrayson Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 uncropped of my profile/getting fidgety during a stupid long doc shot. Working on a month long kayaking documentary off the grid on the Green and Colorado rivers is an excellent crash course in waterproofing. No gear was harmed in the filming of this production. If anyone needs wild noise of rapids, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 This thread is epic! Thought I'd share a pair. First one is me beheading the DP (what better use for a boom is there?). Second is crew photo from same gig (the DP somehow miraculously survived). :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantin Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 On the Olympic Aquatic Centre in London. I had to match the techno-crane!wow, that looks really very long. Good job holding that thing. How long is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Sanchez Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 wow, that looks really very long. Good job holding that thing. How long is it? It's the longest K-tek, it's 20'11" (6.3m) fully extended. Useful in those kinda situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkautzsch Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 It's the longest K-tek, it's 20'11" (6.3m) fully extended. Useful in those kinda situations What mic is on top? And do I see a plug-on? Wondering how you get it to bend so little - my 20' K-Tek bends more even with a KM185 and PTX when at full length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Sanken Cs1e (no schoeps because it was heated room so very humid) and you are right it was a Lectro HM. I also use Cinela mounts, so all that helps reduce weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylormadeaudio Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 It's the longest K-tek, it's 20'11" (6.3m) fully extended. Useful in those kinda situations I use this pole from time to time - yeah, it's difficult to wield when fully extended - even with something light on the end. The good news is that though it's internally cabled, the cable is straight (not coiled) thankfully. It's rare that one needs a pole of that length these days, but it's sure nice to know you have it when you need it.

assumption Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 On a shoot a couple of months ago and got a surprise visitor on my boom.. Photo taken by a very quick DP (and most crew members also) Not quite as exotic as some of the photos on here, but it adds a certain Australian feel..

cmgoodin Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 O.K. What's wrong with this picture? The attached is from a currently running Advil commecial about pain relief and features a boom person using the product to alleviate her pain on those long 16 hour days. They probably should have hired a sound mixer as a consultant so they wouldn't setup such a stupid shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
