57 Q3 2016 / CINEMONTAGE workers will now become eligible for overtime. Other estimates put the number of newly eligible workers much higher. "This is a big deal to be able to help that many working people without Congress having to pass a new law," said Ross Eisenbrey of the Economic Policy Institute. "It's really restoring rights that people had for decades and lost." "The middle class is getting clobbered," US Vice President Joseph Biden told reporters. "If you work overtime, you should actually get paid for working overtime. "For the past 40 years, overtime protections have been increasingly weakened," Biden added, saying that based on their salaries, more than 60 percent of salaried workers qualified for overtime in 1975, but only seven percent do now.

"We loved that the subject matter and pace allowed for a soundtrack full of powerful emotion. The large amount of real locations and action made for a challenge in presenting an understandable track, in terms of the action plus emotions conveyed, while making sure it all sounded natural, as intended — and as if it all really happened just that way." "The biggest challenges of Narcos were the many locations and action sequences," Roache adds. "There were far more locations than any show we have ever done, with each location requiring its own mixing setup and approach. When you add gigantic gun fights and car chases, you end up with a very busy show and a very busy mixing crew!" For Whiting, "The biggest hurdle was not only making the soundtrack historically and culturally accurate, but as rewarding an experience for a Spanish-speaking audience as for an English-speaking one." DiMuro identifies time as his biggest sound- effects issue: "Probably the busiest show this season was Episode 6, which started with a car-racing sequence, ended with a full-bore weapons attack on a residential home, and in between had an explosion at a family gathering and a tense showdown between convoys of good guys and bad guys — along with every other normal effect and background you'd expect." "Some of these shows for Season 2 were just monsters," Akerson concludes. "We had very busy sound effects, complex and intricate dialogue, plus ADR and group ADR. Oh…and music! The biggest challenge was getting it done on time without sacrificing quality. I know that everybody in editorial put his all into it, with excellent results; I'm proud of the final mixes that Pete and Kevin produced."
