While the timeline has shifted, this is still an exciting time of year for us as we gear up for the 57th Annual CAS Awards. The nominees have been announced and final voting begins on Thursday, March 25—so be sure to vote! Along with celebrating achievements in mixing, we are excited to honor our Career Achievement Award recipient, production mixer William B. Kaplan CAS. Adam Howell CAS sits down with Bill to discuss his incredible and adventurous career, which, in my opinion, could be made into a movie itself. Along with celebrating Mr. Kaplan, we are thrilled to be honoring this year's Filmmaker Award recipient, multi-hyphenate George Clooney! In addition to reading about our honorees, your CAS colleagues have provided some great content for you to peruse. For those broadcast/TV re-recording mixers who haven't stepped into the Dolby Atmos realm yet, Bob Bronow CAS speaks with some mixers to share insights in his article "Overcoming Atmos Anxiety," while Patrick Spain CAS checks in to see how a couple re-recording mixers—and a show producer—are dealing with remote mixing during COVID. On the production side, Lori Dovi CAS reports in on her experience working on—wait for it—a boom only show! Peter Kurland CAS provides insight on successfully working with other departments on set—a skill in its own right. G. John Garrett CAS discusses modern RF considerations and concerns while CAS Associate Sam Casas walks us through the history of noise reduction. Finally, a topic of great importance that is often overlooked; your physical health while working. CAS Associate Bryan Cahill and physical therapist, Dr. Elliot Smithson, provide some excellent advice, suggestions, and diagrams in their article "Sound Ergonomics for a Long Career." And, as always, be sure to read about the happenings of your fellow members in the "Been There Done That" and "The Lighter Side" sections. Thanks goes to all of our contributors for volunteering their time to share their insights with us. Also, know that our sponsors are professionals like you who understand the business and the needs of our industry—even during these really crazy times. We encourage your commitment to them. Thanks for taking the time to check out this issue. If an article makes you think of a friend or colleague, send a link to the online version of the Quarterly, available on the CAS website. Finally, feel free to reach out to us at CASQuarterly@ CinemaAudioSociety.org. Stay well and I hope to see you (virtually!) at the CAS Awards. Matt Foglia CAS F R O M T H E E D I T O R
