A MINI-COURSE

FOR BOOM OPERATORS

A MINI-COURSE FOR BOOM OPERATORS

BY KEN STRAIN - BOOM OPERATOR/1ST AS

Being a boom operator in the age of digital production is challenging...

Struggling to keep the mic steady and on-axis while the pain and fatigue gets worse, and the takes get longer and longer...

Dealing with aches and soreness when you're NOT working...

Finding out that you need shoulder SURGERY to fix your rotator cuff after years of booming...

And ending your career early!

The truth is, you don’t need to be BIG & STRONG to boom super long takes and endless resets anymore. And you DON'T need to waste your money on massages and chiropracters in your precious free time.

Over the past 30 years of my career, I developed three ESSENTIAL techniques that are the FOUNDATION to effortless booming.

And since 2017 I have taught these 3 techniques across the US and Europe in BoomRight Masterclasses, helping HUNDREDS of sound people avoid the PAIN and FATIGUE that everyone assumes is just part of the job, and paving the way for becoming a master boom operator!

Inside my NEW ebook, you’ll discover:

The “Cradle Technique” that will keep you super steady and relaxed all day long!

How to distribute the weight of the boom evenly across your body, which also reduces fatigue!

The ONE tweak to holding the pole that makes booming 5x easier, especially on long takes!

Fix your form when you CAN’T use the Cradle Technique!

Where to place yourself on the set for best results - it's also the EASIEST spot to work from!

A SIMPLE fitness routine that ANYONE can do that will make long takes less painful!

It doesn’t matter if you are just learning sound in film school, working as a mixer/boom operator, or you have years of experience as a boom operator, this mini-course will open your eyes to a new style of booming. When you incorporate these techniques into your workflow, you can truly enjoy the ART and CRAFT of being a high-performance boom operator!

These three techniques will help boom operators at least 90% of the time and I wish someone would have handed me this mini-course when I boomed my first feature over 20 years ago!

Ken! Great job brother! Fantastic information to teach up-and-coming boom operators. Took me years to figure out what I know. You have compiled really useful information that should lead to extending one’s years of healthy shoulders and proper technique. Regards, brother!

I boomed alongside Ken for 3 years straight and the techniques he taught me (and teaches in his book) helped catapult my career to become a highly competent, effective, and in-demand boom operator.

Thank you so so much, I needed to learn all of this, this came at the perfect time. I’ve been battling the fatigue of booming since I started and no one bothered to tell me any of this- it has gotten me really down recently to the point where I was wondering if this was even a viable long-term career. You’re going to save my body and mind with this, seriously. I cannot thank you enough.
