back' even going to look like? And how much are we going to be working, especially as an ADR mixer? They're not even going to need us at the end of this thing, you know?" So, I took on a lot of things. I'm in my hobby room, so this is kind of a fun question. I took on printing. I have my little 3-D printer here. And the 3-D modeling, big time. I got my drone pilot license, the FAA license. I play basketball every week. COVID made the remote recording facility very busy. I had maybe eight days off last year in total. So, I don't get to them very often but, someday, I'll go back to it. David: Like a lot of production sound mixers, I'm a musician, so I play the guitar, which I find is quite a common thing because that's what usually gets you into the industry in the first place. I used to be in a band a long time ago. I was interested in recording the music and so forth. Also, after my second midlife crisis, l learned to ride a motorbike. So, I'm currently three years into doing that and enjoying it. And football, really. I'm an avid football fan. What was your reaction when you found out you won? Arno: Before the win, I kept implementing the thought that, "When we go up on the stage, do we know what we're going to say?" I didn't say: "If we win and if we go." So, when we were waiting for it and they said, "Ted Lasso," we were like, "Oh!!!" Got me really excited. I couldn't believe it. It was a very funny, very cool moment and a very happy moment and it paid off. All the hard work and all the long hours and anything that we had to do through the season. Brent: I feel like there's so much programming out there, and then in our category, the field is so strong that, while I feel like everybody knows what our story is, and we know what it takes to get the show mixed and to the audience as fans, and we love the show, you know, every show is doing that same thing. Every show has their own story about what makes them worthy. To me, it's an amazing blessing to have been chosen out of a pack of very strong contenders; every one of them which is deserving. Sean: Ryan and I just kept saying, "I don't think we're going to win. We're up against Star Wars." So, I had to keep my expectations very low and enjoy a night out with my wife and my friends. It was really overwhelming when we won, and Ryan said, "It's your turn to speak." My heart was just racing. I was trembling like a leaf because it's overwhelming. It's one of those things that you see other people achieve that you don't think is possible. So, to be up there, it was just overwhelming. A lot of times, I feel we're overpaid, you know? Not with money, but with how lucky we are that we get to do what we love for a living. Jamison: It was just such an honor to have my very small piece of this and with you guys. As Brent said, there's a ton of content out there. And to maintain quality with how much quantity, oftentimes, quality goes down in a show. It was not a victim to that. There are other shows that are, but this show was absolutely not a victim to that and it's really an honor to be a part of it. Arno: What happened to David? You were not there! David: I actually had COVID. I was going to come, and I looked at flights, and if I would've booked it, I wouldn't have made it anyway because I literally woke up that morning positive. I think everyone sort of thinks we're being magnanimous, but I've been nominated for a few Emmys as well and when you're there and you don't win, it is very disappointing. So, when you do win, it's very, very
