A small Alaskan town braces for a rapid expansion of cruise ship tourism, pushing residents to grapple with benefits, impacts and what they can control. A portrait of a community on the cusp of change in the face of the global tourism industry.
In a small Alaskan island town a large public cruise ship dock is twice rejected by voters. A local business builds and expands a private dock with the help of a large global cruise ship corporation. Some are elated by the economic opportunity, others feel it threatens the very heart of the community.
Nestled between glacial mountains and an island studded sea, Sitka, Alaska is home of the Lingt Aan (Tlingit ) and a large small boat family fishery. No stranger to boom and bust economies, a once thriving pulp mill closed in Sitka years ago. Cruise Boom is a portrait of a town dealing with the possibilities and perils of global tourism. This 55 minute documentary asks who benefits from tourism, how much tourism is enough, and what it means to be a visitor.
A key member of the production audio crew in the film and television industries, the boom operator assists the production sound mixer on set by operating boom microphones, selecting and placing radio microphones, and maintaining the audio equipment.
Boom operator is one of two entry-level positions in the production audio crew, the other being the utility sound technician. Most boom operators are university-trained audio engineers who specialize in live recording (as opposed to studio recording). They work closely with production sound mixers, and may receive a certain degree of on-the-job mentorship from them. Some are happy to work in this position for their entire lives, and progress by finding work on higher-budget projects. Others wait for their golden opportunity to take over the mixing board, perhaps when a production sound mixer is ill or unavailable.
Most boom operators are freelance, although some are employed by Hollywood sound houses in the production sound crew. When shooting on a project, boom operators may spend more than fourteen hours each day on location, alternately working and waiting around, repeating this process every day for several weeks or even months. On the other hand, boom operators can also go for weeks or months between gigs, during which time they may need to find alternative sources of income. Establishing a consistent flow of work is vital to success.
Originally designed for wireless systems in theatres, today the 4060 Series is one of the most loved mics for film applications as well. This miniature captures speech in all of its nuances and is small enough to easily hide in costumes. A range of variants cater to specific audio needs.
A perfect plant mic in difficult filming locations like a car, the 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun is small, slim and unobtrusive with a supercardioid pattern and a built-in shock mount. Just attach it to a transmitter, place it above the sun visor and point it towards the actors. It's ready for action.
Designed for a broad range of applications, this microphone is ideal for use with camera systems, in fixed positions for broadcast / ENG / film booming and even studio recording environments. They are also often the natural choice on a sports scene where large areas are to be covered with a lot of microphones, i.e. a football field and the likes.
With bodyworn miniature mics you can capture the best possible sound, while at the same time completely concealing the microphone. These mics allow you to ensure repeatable, superior sound quality, unseen by the audience. They come in a range of variants, including the virtually invisible Slim Series, which can meet your special concealment needs.
When I first heard DPA's 4061 and 4071 microphones, the sound was so transparent and natural that I felt it could be cut with the boom without any uncomfortable shift in the timbre of the voice. Of course, we still need booms but we can now mix and match between the two depending on the requirements of the scene."
La La Land is widely considered one of the best movies of the 2010s, and for good reason. Like Tick, Tick... Boom! it is a movie permeated with a sense of sadness, as its two lead characters struggle to make it in their careers and to find romance with one another. It is also a bit of a love letter to classic Hollywood itself, a nostalgic take on a period of moviemaking that has already receded far into the past. And, in its eschewing of a happily-ever-after, it is a reminder that not every movie has to end as happily as one might like.
2019 was a strong year for movies focusing on the lives of singing giants, and Judy, the biographical movie focusing on the last days of Judy Garland, is a beautiful look at this extraordinary talent.
Appearing across every aspect of the festival's branding, including digital assets and OOH material, the new identity bursts with vibrant, striking colours and revolves, almost literally, around a cleverly designed logo.
This wordmark, set in Displaay's Azeret Mono, sees the words Film Fest Gent stacked vertically, with the top and bottom words appearing squeezed as if trailing off into the distance. No, this isn't an error on the designer's part but is, in fact, a canny reference to the film reels of yesteryear, specifically the circular shape of Joseph Plateau's Phenakistoscope.
That's right, this logo runs with the motion picture theme by appearing to rotate, with each word scrolling past like the frame of an old film or a still from an animated wheel. As for the three main colourways that dominate the identity, these were defined before any material from the featured movies was confirmed.
This appears to just be the beginning of an ever-evolving identity, too. The studio confirms that the "unique thematic pattern" present in the rebrand will change year after year, allowing each festival going forward to tailor its look to a specific need while also appearing consistent under the same design umbrella.
The new identity doesn't mean the iconography of the previous look has been done away with, though. The horse of Film Fest Gent is a design staple of the festival, and its history is closely linked to that of Ghent. Indeed, the Joseph Plateau Honorary Award features a Phenakistoscope with images of a horse that appears to gallop all around it.
"In a world where we are constantly confronted with an incessant flow of images and information, cinema offers the space for reflection, focus and new thoughts. An inner process that can thus be translated into taking action, developing a critical eye and living a life full of empathy and positive change."
Ever wondered how big blockbuster movie productions are able to feature real tanks and fighter aircraft -- or, in the case of the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick, actors actually launching off an aircraft carrier? Turns out the U.S. military gives many movies a major helping hand, from providing access to bases and ships to actually recruiting troops to serve as background actors. But first, scripts have to get vetted to make sure they're in line with the DoD's core values. In this episode, we'll talk to Glen Roberts, the Pentagon's liaison to Hollywood, who reads those scripts and works with studios to make military-themed productions as realistic as possible.
Welcome back to Left of Boom. I'm Hope Hodge Seck, managing editor at Military.com. For me, this podcast is a chance to explore in more depth some of the most interesting people and ideas inside the military community. But today, we're doing a different variation on this theme, and talking to the man who holds one of the most interesting jobs inside the Pentagon. You may have wondered how Hollywood blockbusters can feature scenes of actors launching off an aircraft carrier, or driving around a military base in tanks. And the answer is the Defense Department's Entertainment Media Division, which vets scripts and can provide project support ranging from base access to equipment to uniform background actors -- assets that might be prohibitively expensive or impossible for studios to source on their own. The first step for all these scripted projects is Glen Roberts, DoD's branch chief for Entertainment Media, and I've been dying to pick his brain about how he decides which projects to recommend for support and just why the US military uses its resources to help out Hollywood. Glen Roberts, welcome to the show.
You are the Defense Department branch chief for Entertainment Media, a job that I've kind of thought of in shorthand as the Pentagon Hollywood liaison. And I know you got there pretty recently. When did you start at the job?
So our mission, you know, our formal explanation is that we inform and educate the public, both the domestic and the foreign public, on the roles and missions of the Department of Defense. That's why we exist, really, to make sure that Americans know that their taxpayer dollars are being used in good stewardship. But if you put it another way, really our job is to project and protect the credibility and image of the Department of Defense in the entertainment space. And for us, the entertainment space is vast and includes movies, TV shows, documentaries, videos, games, live events and even a bit of social media.
So you're an Air Force veteran, I looked you up, and you've held a number of jobs within the Defense Department and around the defense community. I saw that at one point you were a senior military advisor at the State Department and comms director at Pratt and Whitney. But you've also served as the head entertainment liaison for the Air Force. So was there something about the entertainment aspect of the job that appealed to you in particular? Are you a big movie buff? Or is this just kind of how things shook out for you?
