12 PRODUCTION SOUND & VIDEO – Spring 2024 2021, its services have already seen widespread usage on major productions. Films and shows like The Mandalorian, Our Flag Means Death, Thor: Love and Thunder, Barbie, Black Adam, Interior Chinatown, Ahsoka, Mayor of Kingstown, and many more have implemented Cine-COMM systems into their workflows. Thor: Love and Thunder director and Our Flag Means Death creator Taika Waititi has become something of a power user within the company, using Cine- COMM systems to facilitate both communications, VOG, actor line feeds via earwigs and music playback on set. As wireless intercom systems like those provided by Cine- COMM become more prevalent, a new generation of Local 695 PL/Comms Engineers will become necessary. That is why our Local has partnered with Simon and Eduardo at Cine-COMM in order to provide training to members who are interested in taking on this sort of work. This partnership allows for productions renting Cine-COMM systems to correctly staff the communication positions on set, while also ensuring that those hired to facilitate communications have the training necessary to service productions from start to finish. At one time, the megaphone was considered a breakthrough in communications technology. Then came the walkie-talkie and point-to-point comms systems. The Cine-COMM Inc. Bolero- based system is the newest evolution in connecting members of the set with one another. It presents a wide variety of solutions to age-old problems and offers productions a future-facing option to tackle the issues of tomorrow.
