This production was shot live to tape, the actors I worked with were Nick Hardin who acted in Lockout and Patch Connolly who also acted in the Oscar winning short The Shore. My role in this production was head of sound, in this role I allocated two sound assistants on two sennheiser shot gun microphones that were on a boom pole their role was to move the microphone with the actors so they caught the dialogue, I put up an annotated script on the back of the set so the assistants knew when the actors were moving.
This production also required the use of a backing track which had the atmosphere of the bar setting. This gave the illousion of people in a bar but were not seen, horse racing on a radio which was also heard but not seen. As well as driecting the sound assistants I also had to monitor the levels of the dialouge and the atmosphere track so they didnt peak.
