So I worked a day on the Office for NBC as a boom operator / A2 and it was a great experience. We traveled to Buffalo, NY to shoot the vows at Niagra Falls for the wedding episode. The production was really well run, and the locals were all so great. It’s so fulfilling working on a popular show, you are welcomed with open arms to a town who are so happy to have us.

At one point a young elevator operator interrupted to say that it was a pleasure to meet and work with us. So cute.

John Krasinski was feeling under the weather that day but still pulled out a great performance. and Jenna Fisher was very helpful to me with the mic-ing process in her wedding dress and ‘baby belly’ costume. I honestly hadn’t been too caught up on current events of the show so was quite surprised to see that the character’s were expecting! (I didn’t mention that to them tho)

Equipment used: Sennheiser and Lectrosonics wireless lavalier’s with countryman mic elements, both chosen for their waterproof characteristics. Sound Devices 442 for on-site multi-track recording, and a Sennheiser MKH-70 hypercardiod condenser “shotgun” microphone.

Our director was a recognizable actor/comedian Paul Feig, who I loved in the movie “Ski Patrol.”

We made the front page of both big newspapers for the city, and I was even in one of the pictures! Flying my boom in the background.

While flying home to LA I was sat next to the actress Isabel Lucas most recently in Transformers 2. She was trying out for a part in a movie based on the book that I was reading that very moment, On The Road by Jack Kerouac. Pretty coincidental.

It was a great experience working with the cast and crew of NBC’s “The Office” and I look forward to helping out again soon!
