Welcome to the thirtieth episode of the Speed Bumps Podcast. I've talked in the past about how boom poles are lightning rods but for our first topic I'm going to discuss boom poles and electricity. For our second topic, I'm going to speak to background performers. Background are very important to a scene but the difference between a novice and a pro is in the details of how they perform and there's one big way they can convey their experience on set - how sound friendly they are. Let this video serve as info background should know before getting on set.
