Hollywood sound is a whole different world from news sound. You wouldn't think so, but it is. With news it is almost always just me and my stuff. But on a motion picture set, it is lots of sound people working together. I'm back under the union's wet blanket again. Don't much care care for all those stupid rules. In news when you are out in the field you just do what needs to be done and we all go home sooner. Working on location in a major production is like working in the shop. If you aren't working under the right union you better not touch it. This apparently even comes down to handing someone a roll of gaff tape. Why does life have to be so damn complicated?
