G.E.T. and the Man With His Head in a TV Tent.


Yesterday was a commercial for the Washington State Guaranteed Education Tuition program. It was nice. Small children were involved. The entire day the camera was on a 20' jib arm so the DP Geoff spent most of his working hours with his head in a bag looking at the monitor. On an audio note, the generator ran all day on the sidewalk making a lovely ambient noise that resembled a muffled chainsaw. We did note a strange occurrence that every time a car passed the generator the noise lessened by probably 25%: a phasing was taking place on the bounce back from the passing car. When a car parked or stopped it would get louder, so it was a natural noise canceling device.
