46 S P R I N G 2 0 2 2 I C A S Q U A R T E R L Y PARADE OF CARTS, BAGS, b y D e v e n d r a C l e a r y C A S For 2021, the now-very-traditional "Sound Cart Parade" has found a home at the Sounding Board event, sandwiched between a discussion with the sound geniuses behind Hugo and a discussion called "Between the Ears." Phillip W. Palmer CAS was a perfect fit as moderator, being a sound cart consumer and enthusiast himself and having participated in several of the in-person sound cart events over the years. This event has appropriately included bags and rigs in its title since, in production sound, the practitioner's use of sound carts often transcends across various shapes, sizes, and styles. Many have a very bespoke nature to them where there is almost no way around referring to them all as "rigs." They are specialty rigs that require ingenuity and creativity to build. Besides the occasional "happy accident," they are all meticulously planned out with specificity from birth to voyage. And to see how our post kin also implements this adaptation was very exciting! The lineup this year was refreshingly sharp as I don't believe any of these five panelists have had the opportunity to present their rigs during any of the past in-person events or the first virtual event in 2020. Before our panel discussion, we kicked it off with brief sizzle reels from each participant. Matthew Cameron CAS – Production Mixer Brett Grant Grierson CAS – Production Mixer Marcos A.
