The Association of Motion Picture Sound (AMPS) is calling for greater recognition of the essential role of two Boom Operators on productions working to the UK’s ten-hour continuous day model.

With the trend towards ever-longer takes and increasingly complex shooting setups, employing dual Boom Operators (1st AS) is not only vital for protecting crew health and wellbeing but also for maintaining the highest standard of on-set sound. This practice reduces reliance on ADR, supports multi-camera shoots, and ensures productions meet established safety guidance.

AMPS Chair George Foulgham said, “AMPS promotes ‘Excellence in Sound’ through its annual awards and actively advocates for best practices and current safety standards to all its members. Safety Bulletin #45 is a benchmark for the industry. AMPS recommends that all film productions follow these guidelines during pre-production and filming, regardless of setting.”

Following consultation with the UK’s leading Production Sound Mixers, AMPS has released the following statement:
