Bill also realized the first “Time Code Slate” using video monitors and a desk clock.<\/p><\/div>\n

Bill Daly<\/strong><\/a>, a veteran N.Y. sound mixer filled in for Tod Maitland<\/strong> <\/a>on the first 2.5 weeks of JFK<\/strong> <\/a>in Dallas, doing all the motorcade scenes. I was the 2nd mixer and sfx recordist with my Nagra 4L and one of the early portable DAT machines, 5 years into my career. Bill was pretty gruff and would occasionally tear me a new arsehole by day, but always followed up by buying me a drink after wrap and regaling me with war stories. I’ll never forget one day, while sitting in the window sills of the 6th floor Book Depository, seeing Bill’s massive cart on the street below, with his huge Sela mixer and umbrella anchored to his cart, but no immediate sign of Bill. A gust of wind hooked the umbrella and pulled the cart over on its back, his stereo Nagra flipped lid-down and skidded on the pavement. Boom op T.J. O’Mara dashes over to the pile and slaps his hands to his head, and frantically he goes about righting the whole mess. I think they were back up and running in 15 minutes. It was surreal. He was just as encouraging and kind to me as he was a ball-buster<\/strong>. Cheers Bill! \u00a0by Pete Verrando, www.txsound.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
