Hi Ashley
That's the site the Calumet salesman was trying to find but he was sure
Jacobson was spelled Jacobsen...Graham Playford only rents his sound blimps,
which may prove useful in the short term.
May as well take the opportunity to correct the terminology: I don't need a
Barney but do need a Sound Blimp. Seems a Barney is soft (the kind I was
used to throwing over the odd Aaton or Arri when the sound guy wanted to be
'"awkward") and a Blimp is hard (not often seen these days on film sets
because of the ultra silent cameras and more likely to be seen in old studio
stills) and is used mostly nowadays on 35mm stills cameras by Film Unit
Photographers to dampen the sound of the shutter/mirror.
Thanks to all who responded.
