VCA Crewing Night

Posted on May 18, 2012 by admin in Miscellany

Congratulations to the VCA students who pitched their films last night at the crewing night. It was a great night and I’m sorry that I didn’t get to talk to everyone that I had wanted to. For those VCA filmmakers and producers that find their way here, welcome. On this site are some audio samples [...]

Data Wrangle Pro – Call for Testers

Posted on October 28, 2011 by admin in Miscellany

I am in the process of developing some software for use on film sets to assist Data Wranglers. Consequently, I am putting out a call for people involved in Data Wrangling to become part of a closed Beta testing process. Operators interested in becoming part of the Beta programme should contact mark@greensideproductions.com.au with the following information: [...]

Product Plug – Ashampoo HDD Monitor

Posted on August 15, 2011 by admin in Miscellany, Technical

Am going to do a little product plug here – for a product called Ashampoo HDD Control which I have installed on my main workstation and also my recording computer. It has saved my bacon more than once, so I’ll relate the story to you in the hope that you – the reader – might also [...]

Quick Plug for Dropbox…

Posted on June 29, 2011 by admin in Miscellany

This is a quick plug for “Dropbox” – a cloud storage system that I have been using now for the past year. It is one of the most useful tools for storing and accessing documents and files centrally – particularly if you use multiple devices like iPhones and iPads – you can “drop” a file [...]

Location Surveys for Sound

Posted on March 12, 2011 by admin in Miscellany

When scouting or surveying a location for use as a film set, it is important to consider the properties of the location that may affect the location sound recordist’s ability to record usable dialogue. This article will outline some of the key elements of a survey that should be considered in order to determine whether [...]

Location sound – silencing the generator!

Posted on March 8, 2011 by admin in Miscellany, Technical

I have been involved with a number of film shoots recently that have used sets that are positioned too far away from mains power for its use to be practical. It has therefore been necessary to use a portable petrol-driven generator to power lights. Unfortunately, generators are a pain in the rear-end for any location [...]

Recovering Apple Pro Apps from ProKit 6.0.1 update

Posted on January 23, 2011 by admin in Miscellany, Technical

Apple, where do I send the invoice to cover the last 8 hours of my life?!

Apple, bless their cotton socks, released an update (ProKit 6.0.1) for their “Pro Kit Framework” which basically broke all of the “Pro” apps on my laptop. I cannot say definitively that this is the cause, but it certainly appears to have been the case for me.

This article outlines what I did to get my life back.

Another Stunning Performance…

Posted on November 8, 2010 by admin in Miscellany

Just finished two amazing days of sessions with Eltham East Primary School Choir recording “The Man Who Planted Trees” – a new work by Nicholas Buc that is the latest work to be commissioned by the choir with the assistance of a Cultural Development Grant from Nillumbik Shire Council. The story of “The Man Who [...]

Update on the Li-Po power unit

Posted on October 18, 2010 by admin in Miscellany, Technical

LiPo power system was tested in anger over this weekend on a film shoot. The battery pack, when fully charged, should register at roughly 16.8v. I’m getting about 16.78v on a 0.8A balance charge, so I’m pretty happy with that. For a full day shoot, running the SD552 mixer with a boom mic and a [...]
