Ken Strain

In this session, veteran Hollywood boom operator Ken Strain brings his BoomRight workshop to Rome, focusing on how to boom with maximum reach, control, and endurance while protecting your body. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience on series like House M.D. and Lost and numerous feature films, he breaks down practical techniques for grip, stance, movement, and equipment setup that let you cover complex blocking and multi‑camera shoots without sacrificing sound quality. Participants will see how small adjustments in posture, counterweights, and mic handling can dramatically reduce fatigue and noise, and they will leave with concrete strategies for working more confidently with mixers, camera, and cast on any size production.
