ABSTRACT
A typical basic production sound crew of three: the production sound mixer on the right, the boom operator on the left, and the cable man in the center working on Talvisota. If ever a phase of the creation of the motion picture cried out for the discipline and regimentation of a military operation, it is the challenging battlefield of production. The production mixer is also responsible for the warning light just outside the stage or on the perimeter of the location set. Peter Meiselmann was, by nature a hardcore analog specialist, but was pressed into recording the production track for Terror Tract using a DAT recorder because the first-time producers felt they needed digital technology for some postproduction reason. In ever increasing world of "smart" slates and timecode dailies, the far right-hand column, which used to be reserved for transfer notations, is being utilized by the production mixer to list timecode starts for each take.
