CAS Quarterly

could get more complex—yet, somehow, it just keeps presenting greater challenges with tons of laughs along the way. It's truly one of my most favorite jobs ever and I couldn't do it without my boom op, Carmine Picarello, utility/music recordist, Spyros Poulos, and our Pro Tools playback, Egor Panchenko! Before some much-needed R&R, Spyros and I are headed to Cleveland where we'll be capturing all of the sounds of the Broadway hit musical Jersey Boys, directed by Tony winner Des McAnuff. Philip Perkins CAS mixed The Wisdom of Community and welcomed the birth of his first grandchild, Margaux, in June! [See photo in "The Lighter Side" section.] Sean Byrnes CAS has been busy mixing various projects, including the HBO Max comedy series The Other Two. Sean had the pleasure of working with some of the best in the biz, including David Raymond on boom and David Holmes on 2nd boom/ utility. This job was followed by a week's vacation in Kauai to get rested up for The Offer—a 10-episode limited series about the making of The Godfather. On this five- month project for Paramount +, Sean again will be working with a top-notch team, including Gunnar Walter on boom and Chris Polczinski on 2nd boom/utility. Great to be back to steady work! From Matt Foglia CAS: As part of their "Future Craft Masters" program, DTS visited Middle Tennessee State University in July, where I'm a professor. 2009 CAS Award winner Brian Slack led a Master Class on the DTS:X Creator Suite for my colleagues, students, and I. It was a very informative—and "immersive"— session. The JB-1 features a display and menu system, which allows for ease of use and display of timecode and settings. It reads, generates and jam syncs to all standard frame rates including 23.976 for High Definition shoots. The JB-1 features an automatic jam sync capability, which senses the incoming timecode rate. Cross jamming of different rates can be accomplished as well.
