24-Bit Dailies in a 16-Bit World

“Behind the Sound Cart: A Veteran’s Guide to Sound on the Set” is a new e-book that details how the entire Sound team functions on today’s movie and television sets, while illuminating the overall picture of life on a production. 

Patrushkha Mierzwa, one of the first female boom operators in Hollywood, has worked on over 80 movies and television projects for major directors including Robert Rodriquez, Quentin Tarantino, James Gray, and Robert Altman. She has been a judge for the Emmys, an IATSE Sound Local 695 director, and given workshops globally over her long career in the industry.

Dear Friends & Colleagues: It is with mixed feelings that we will be exiting the 16 & 35mm film camera business after 57 years.

This past Saturday was the LAPPG seminar on production and post-production audio held at the ShowBiz Store & Cafe in Los Angeles. I instructed the production side of sound, and Woody Woodhall CAS covered the post side. Attendance was smaller than we had hoped for, probably due to the coincidence of a few other industry events that took place on that same day, such as the CAS Parade of Soundcarts.

Hello to our members, students, and interested persons from all over the world. I'd like to introduce you to our new Cinema Audio Society Website - cinemaaudiosociety.org. There you will find the latest up-to-date information about membership procedures, the Awards nominations, voting, seminars, sponsors, forums, and links to many other sound oriented organizations. Our site has been prepared by your Board members, whose goal is to bring us news, information and discussions in one easy to navigate space. As we grow our site and the CAS, you will find podcasts, links to screenings, and contact links to your Board of Directors, Officers, and office staff.
