48 S U M M E R 2 0 1 7 C A S Q U A R T E R L Y Steve Weiss CAS is on set mixing Major Crimes Season 6 with Vince Schelly on boom and Dennis Carlin utility. On many days, there are 12-14 wires and 3-4 cameras. Cory Rizos CAS just recently completed back-to-back mixes and sound design for three feature documentaries: Let There Be Light and Manic for EyeSteelFilm and Park Extension for director Tony Asimakopoulos. Also, late last year, he finished mixing and sound design for two other feature documentaries: Resurrecting Hassan by Carlo Guillermo Proto and Shadows of Paradise by Sebastian Lang. Philip Perkins CAS completed mixes for the second season of the PBS series Global Spirit, an episode of the Earth Focus series (KCET) and the documentary Road to Zuni. Some cool side projects included the mix of the score for LINES Ballet's Figures of Speech, the recording and mix for Alvin Curran's Self Portrait, and recording and mixing artist Rigo 23's video and LP for his Un Encuentro live show. Erik H. Magnus CAS relocated last year to Atlanta and hit the ground running. He was finishing up the Baywatch movie when Mark Weingarten CAS had to go to Europe to mix Dunkirk. Rob Disner was boom operating and Andy Sleet was on utility sound. Next up was the HBO movie The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, with Rob Disner on boom and Tiffany T. Mack joining as utility sound. This segued into a Jeremy Irons feature comedy titled An Actor Prepares. Recently, he also finished the CW pilot Insatiable, with Jorge Del Valle as utility sound rounding out the crew. Phillip W. Palmer CAS winding up another project in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Thanks to my crew on NBC's The Night Shift Season 4, Ben Greaves as boom operator and Steve Willer as sound Thanks for the hard work and for making it fun. Steve Nelson CAS finds it hard to imagine that he is well underway on Season 5 of TNT's The Last Ship. He'd never even completed a Season 2 of anything, so making it all the way from pilot to what is likely the final voyage, feels monumental. Since the very beginning, when the crew met in San Diego on the pilot, he's been accompanied if not carried by the indefatigable and indomitable John Sheridan, who has lately been mixing our double-ups as well. Since episode two, Knox White has been commanding the set, swinging the boom or rather threading the needle through our very difficult Navy destroyer sets. They are justifiably known as very challenging shows; he cannot think of a better crew to have on this journey. He thanks all for the great work and for keeping it fun. And thanks to a great group of collaborators, craftspeople, cast, and production who have worked so well together to make a great show. They'll go through September … and after that? Sherry Klein CAS and Scott Weber have just completed Season 1 of Bull for CBS and looking forward to starting Season 2. They also completed a pilot Reverie for NBC, which was picked up and will start mixing in late fall. This summer on Stage 5 at Smart Post Sound, they're busy mixing Season 2 of Queen of the South for USA and Season 3 of Unreal for Lifetime. Alex Markowski CAS and Alex Nomick have finished editing and mixing Season 2 of Saints & Sinners at Audio Kitchen Post. They have also wrapped up the three-part PBS historical documentary series F.S. Key for producer/director Phil Marshall. The summer holds work with independent projects, Senegal Cinema for Josh Gibson and Abigail Falls for Erica Dunton. Karol Urban CAS MPSE completed mix of the Netflix original film #realityhigh, as well as a Mar Vista film called Momster, that addresses bullying at all ages. She also finished Grey's Anatomy Season 13 with Ross Davis and is looking forward to Season 14. Now she is mixing a six-episode documentary series for Netflix called Mortified and ramping up to start two new series late this summer. After finishing up The Last Man on Earth Season 3 for FOX, the dream team of Devendra Cleary CAS, Scott LaRue, and Tanya Peel went onto a pilot called Ghosted with many of the same faces and it seemed to go by so fast! With one day in between as a wrap day and prep day, the three of them loaded onto a brand-new camera truck for the FX pilot Mayans MC. Motorcycles were testing his (Cleary) limiters one day, whispery dialogue was testing his patience another. This project flexed the talents of all three of the team members. Focus amid chaos has been the name of the game. Then Devendra had a short summer break with a couple Dr. Pepper commercials mixed in. Now he is prepping for Season 4 of The Last Man on Earth, starting at the end of July! The fun never stops for Gavin Fernandes CAS. After finishing two Canadian features, as well as HBO's Big Little Lies, Gavin is on the new NBC/ Universal series The Bold Type and the Quebec feature The Threesome (Trip à trois), as well as a few MOWs for Incendo Productions. Devin Golub CAS just wrapped Netflix's Medal of Honor. It is such a very rewarding project. We were shooting 100 percent exteriors, sometimes in 100-degree heat. William Munroe on boom and Jay Golden kept us snake-free and the gear working. A thanks to Noel Espinosa for coming in for the final week.
