The Original Masterclass by Ken Strain

Your Image

This Boom Operator Masterclass was filmed live in Los Angeles in July 2017 with over 100 people in the audience. In this 3-hour course, veteran boom operator Ken Strain demonstrates the basic skills needed to excel on sets with long takes and multiple cameras. The course is designed to instill a base level of technique and understanding that can be the foundation for a successful and injury-free career.

You will learn how to carefully choose and adjust your equipment so that you can move with more freedom and comfort. Your equipment can be the difference between being able to boom a difficult shot or having to just rely on wireless mics. There are updated notes for this section that will be available for download in your course area.

Once we get the equipment sorted out, we show you how to hold the boom and move with minimum energy and maximum range of motion, which also will improve your steadiness. We go from broad technique to addressing subtler aspects of mic handling for dialogue that make a noticeable difference in quality. Numerous valuable insights are shared here that would take years to discover on your own. You will hear the differences in technique and learn to be a critical listener.

A large part of being a successful boom operator or 1st AS depends on how you interface with your co-workers in the various departments on set. We show you how to approach the set with a helpful attitude so that you start building your "Team Sound" on set!

Everything you need to level up and accelerate your path to mastery is here!

“These classes are really good. Mostly the BoomRight master class, which I completed and It helped me a lot booming for one of my projects. They literally were complementing me that “I knew what I was doing”, but little did they know that that was actually my first time booming. All the knowledge for booming in this course, you must keep it and print it in your mind.”

“Great course! Very informative and clearly explains “Boom” techniques. Gave me confidence hearing it from a PRO! Thank Ken Strain!…..He will literally teach you not to “strain” yourself with your pole!”

"I found this course extremely valuable.
Before taking it as probably all of us, I explored most of the resources on the internet, including sound-oriented groups on FB and multiple YouTube videos. No doubt, some of the materials were helpful; however, it took me hundreds of hours to separate the wheat from the chaff if you understand what I mean. =)
Even though, as you can tell, I did my homework, I learned from Ken a lot!
In this few-hours length course, he very generously shares his techniques and tricks gained through decades in this profession.
Ken gave us all the links to the equipment and tools he is using, including tapes, boom poles, mic holders, headphones, and even best shoes for boom operators based on over 27 years of experience in the field!!!
In my opinion, this is a must-take course for anyone in the Sound Department on set!"

“A natural teacher, he speaks with eloquence and wisdom you only gain thru years of experience. Even as an experienced boom operator, I found myself learning in this comfortably paced class. I do have one issue with it… it didn’t go on another 10 hours. I must have watched this whole course at least 4 times and picked up new things every time and now that it’s been a couple of months since my last viewing, it’s probably time I watch it again.”

“Extremely helpful and a must-have course for both professionals and beginners alike. It doesn’t matter what level you’re at, Ken’s insight covers it all, from mic placement to set etiquette. The next time I find myself stuck and flustered. I’ll ask myself, “What would Ken do?”
