Title: Wireless ADK TL's -- I bet you didn't know they existed
Post by: spreadheadtom on July 31, 2006, 12:36:48 PM
this was shot at Newby's.  The greatest taper in the Dirty South was a little f*cked up and decided that this would be the best way to run.

I guess color coding doesn't really help in this situation...

"newby's" indeed.  Just kidding of course.  The drunk taper is my favorite kind to run across... makes taping more fun.

Personally it was just refreshing to see that the priorities were in order.  The full beer was well out of range during the battle with the cables.

Once you get good at it it is truly the best way to wind, but I admit I have been lax myslef and have just gone back to the over > over method.  The video reminded me of how much better over > under is especially for long lengths.

I learned how to do it back in the day working at a theatre and with live sound companies. From what I seem to remember you're probably one of those guys that's coiled a 300' 48 channel snake and know that there really isn'y any other way to make it happen. At all. I haven't used this method in years, but I'm really disappointed that I let myself blow 3:30 of the work day looking at a guy wraping cable.
