This set sketch is from the movie ‘Run Ronnie Run’, shot in the fall of 2000. I’m not positive where we were on that day and I’m too lazy to look it up in my locations notebook. When Producer Carl Mazzocone and Director Troy Miller returned to Atlanta with ‘Dumb & Dumberer’ in 2002 they brought back their favorite LA sound guys, Vahe and Stacy. Boom guys are almost always above average in height because it gives them an edge when working the mic above any surrounding equipment and/or crew members. Vahe’s solution to this problem was easy: stand on an applebox. If you ever see ‘Dumb & Dumber 2’ then you’ll see a flash of Vahe as a coach/trainer on the football team. You’ll also hear one of his band’s (NuTra) songs on the soundtrack. See kids, it pays to know the Director!
Nice one Drew. What did I ever do to you? Wow that is an exaggerated sketch. I look like Don Rickles holding a boom!
Naw… Don Rickles holds mops…. with his left hand. ;)
This still cracks me up! I hope all is well out there, Drew!
LOL yes, still ticking! Really happy to get a ping from you – hope you’re still making music even if it’s at home during this mess
