ARE
EXOSKELETONS
PART OF
OUR FUTURE?
THE BOOMINATOR:
by Bryan Cahill
Boominator, Roboboom, Boomborg ...
these are just a few of the names crew
members are using to try and make sense
of a microphone boom operator wearing
an exoskeleton. The boom operators
who have had the chance to use one on a
set are using terms like "game changer."
For any of you who keep up with all the
sound-related pages on Facebook, you
have probably read some posting on my
work with exoskeleton manufacturers
and their products. If Facebook isn't your
thing, this article should bring you up to
speed on the conversation.
