Tales From The Producers Episode 457. In this episode we see our Producer deal with the ever talkative soundman. Field producers have a rough life of travel and getting the best shots, the last thing they need is an audio operator that provides more sound than he records... Next time, just book a Go To Team crew.
Hey Mark.... Don't worry "Talkative Soundman" is a fake character, based on a funny scenario. It's not suppose to represent any real sound person!! We love all of our freelance soundmen and just wanted to make some producer's laugh.

It seems you took this commercial very personally, which is impossible since I've never heard of you. Are you on the East Coast?
I have to point out that out of hundreds of viewers you seem to be the only person who doesn't get it. And you insult the intelligence of our audio ops? How ironic!

Do you mean that guy behind the camera that's never seen? The only cameraman identified is a GoTo cameraman with the yapping soundman. I think the message is this is the kind of soundmen you bring to the job.
Maybe you should listen to soundmen like me who try to keep you from screwing up. Ooops, I forgot, you like 'em big and dumb.

You must have missed the other camera guy in every other shot.

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the last shot show that the soundman is working for the GoTo Team cameraman?

I can't tell you how many times I've worked with "this guy."
