Well I never, whoever said that was a ****ing genius. Even if as a quote
it's a total non-sequitur in the context of this thread.

Actually it was *from* this thread!

And it's as far from a non-sequitur as it's possible to get. You complain
about others trying to play net-cop, then start trying to play net-cop
yourself. One of your very earliest posts here was to complain about the
bitching, since when you have added very considerably to that bitching. And
you not only bitch, you use offensive and insulting language to do it.

I wonder why the word "hypocrite" seems to be such an accurate description
of you?

I should think there are MANY more "boom stands" keeping microphones
off the floor than there are "booms" in TV and film studios.

In Finland, one has to pay an additonal tax if one is a member of the
Finnish Lutheran (state) church.

Was that church nationalised in other ways, or does it still hold
title to the properties and other assets it acquired and looted over
the centuries?
I believe some American churches, lacking historical roots, try to
enforce tithing?

First HD I saw here was
Wimbledon a couple of years ago which was stunningly good.

Was that when they had "engineers" in management;?..

Think they had gone from the BBC by then - but their heritage still lived
on. Now it's been replaced by bean counters.

Are all channels in the UK now HD?

No.

The BBC has a HD channel on satelite.

ITV 1 too - and FTA on any HD satellite receiver if you know how to do it.
But not a full service. Only certain progs out of the ITV schedule with
gaps in between.

The BBC has a HD channel on satelite.

Which has recently had its data rate reduced. Do try and keep up. ;-)

Song and dance? Booms in TV are the same as booms
in music studios.

Thanks for confirming you understand nothing outside your own little world
- and have no intention of expanding that.

Ask your sound supervisor.


Ask myself?

Just a couple of weeks ago you said you were "an operator"
Congratulations of your speedy promotion:-))))

A sound supervisor is still an operator. Operator differentiates from
engineer who designs and repairs things - but doesn't operate them. And
management, of course.

Those I worked under when those progs were common have long
since retired. But of course those progs were mono anyway.


Good recording locations. like St John's Smith Square
are difficult to book these days, due to block bookings
by the BBC.

Sigh. I was talking about *studio* operations. In TV. Outside broadcasts
are done by different people with different skills.

Wonder how many of these 'block bookings' are for TV?

So those type of recordings are still being made, Dave, it's just that
you don't get to work on them.

Perhaps at the level you work at Iain you don't need to specialise. Or
since you live in a small country specialisation isn't possible. But in UK
TV sound things are very different. You choose the type of work you want
to do. And drama is by far the biggest employer. So I chose that. I don't
know of anyone who makes a living out of doing purely classical music for
TV. That's not to say such a person doesn't exist.

Wouldn't help in TV here. That refers to a smaller version of the
Fisher. At Thames we had 12 full size ones and 2 minis.

Understood. What we know as a "2" (Fisher 2) you
probably call a mini boom?

I've no idea. ;-) The full size ones are Model 12, so I'd guess that
unlikely.

I am told that booms and boom operators are less and
less in demand now, due to the wider use of radio mics.

Sadly true. Saves money. Good boom operators command a good fee. Can be
more than the mixer gets. Very different from the 'staff' era.

Isn't this where we came in?

Not really. I was asking about the best (value) for a radio mic to be
used in a church. The ones I use are simply too expensive. And I have no
expertise of the myriad of cheaper types.
