Patrushkha takes you from the first work call to the final wrap, explaining the order of the work and the details that her decades of experience provides, so you can avoid mistakes that might sabotage your career before it's even started. This book describes the job of the UST (Utility Sound Technician), or 2nd AS in the UK, a career almost invisible, yet extremely interesting, exciting-and paying up to six figures a year. This book details how to present yourself as a filmmaker and garner the trust of the creatives around you, how to relate to the crew, how to deal with and solve problems that are not just about sound itself-things you don't learn at film school. * Discover tricks for microphone placement and wiring talent.* Understand how the UST interacts with the director, actors and producers.* Learn why you can know a lot about film yet still not sustain a career.* Get tips for balancing work and family life.* Pick up pointers for managing life in a freelance world.Behind the Sound cart details how the entire Sound team functions on today's movie and television sets, while illuminating the overall picture of life on a production. Patrushkha Mierzwa, one of the first female boom operators in Hollywood, has worked on over 80 movies and television projects for major directors including Robert Rodriquez, Quentin Tarantino, James Gray, and Robert Altman. She has been a judge for the Emmys, an IATSE Local 695 Director, and given workshops globally over her long career in the industry. Her Sound Oscar-nominated shows include Ad Astra and Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood. Congratulations! Thank you so much for sending this. I will certainly leave a comment when it appears on international Amazon, and I'll also ping it across all of my networks and the various FB groups for sound and education. I think this is really going to help students, super down to earth, logical and clear. I knew that it'd be a great book after your visits and sessions with our students. You're a wonderful speaker and your voice comes right through clearly and concisely in this book.Congratulations again and I hope we get to invite you back to Greenwich again in the near future!Dr Andrew Knight-HillSenior Lecturer in Sound Design and Music Technology, Creative Professions and Digital Arts, University of Greenwich, London.Patrushkha has written the definitive text about our craft, a book to learn from and to help those of us who teach. It's my go to reference and should be in every film school on the globe.Simon Clark, National Film & Television School, EnglandThis book condenses years of experience into a practical guide to get you ready to walk onto a film set with the confidence of a sound-ninja.Finally, a comprehensive text teaching one of the most demanding, yet unsung disciplines in the movie making world; Bravo!Stuart Wilson, Oscar winner, 1917, 6-time Oscar nominee for soundThis book is a revelation of the dense complexities of the Production Sound Team, specifically the contributions of the UST. The UST could be one of the most essential crewmembers on set. I can't imagine how a large or small-scale production could be efficient without a complete 3-person team delivering quality sound while keeping ahead of the rigorous schedules and demands. Any production without a UST would suffer from poor or under-executed sound work, and that would surely be a disservice to the filmmakers, creators and budget.Michael Minkler, 3-time Oscar winner, Emmy winner. DreamGirls, Chicago, Blackhawk Down. 11-time Oscar nominee for soundI am amazed at the great detail and well-rounded approach you have taken. The mindset section blew me away. Joe Aredas, Jr. Hollywood Sound Union Local 695 Asst. Business AgentYour writing has this lovely, personal, honest style to it that I just haven't seen in other industry-based literature. And there is a SERIOUS amount of knowledge packed in there, it's impressive. You are a powerhous
