015 - Gerald Aced the Test! - Part 1

Season 3 · Episode 15

Sunday, June 30, 2024 • Duration 39:49

If the movie studio at 1223 North 23rd Street is anything - it’s an engineering marvel. Exposing motion picture film requires a significant amount of light, and therefore an enormous number of electrons arriving at the right place at the right time. Six stages that became nine - and then ten - needing studio distribution, house lights and air conditioning for the sub-tropic climate of the Cape Fear. A five-block-long backlot - christened as New York City’s Chinatown - with 400 neon lights. Construction mills and SPFX welding shops among the total of 22 buildings - rising from the swamp - in need of power, office lights, and HVAC.

Gerald Waller, our only Studio Engineer - guided by his training, his instincts and the strict North Carolina Electric Code - figured it out.

The WRAP BEER community is forever thankful for Gerald’s dedication, effort, and success!!!

“If it hadn’t had happened already, I would tell you that it couldn’t be done.” - Bill Arnold, NC Film Office.

When Dino Delaurentiis came to North Carolina, he first visited The EO Corporation before deciding to settle in Wilmington.

014 - The Tribe in 3-D!!!

Season 3 · Episode 14

Sunday, June 16, 2024 • Duration 46:40

It may be said that any great cinematographer is only as good as their gaffer. And many cameramen have enjoyed having Lynn ”LD” Dodson by their side. And whereas the movie industry can often alter one’s personality, either for better or worse, LD may be the very exception to that norm. In a business where every job, every day, and every minute is different . . . LD has managed to remain the same Shelby boy that Jock Brandis recruited back in 1984. Veteran electrician Rusty Edmondson bears witness as Wrap Beer! once again hosts two members of The Tribe - albeit from opposite sides of the track - and this time showing in 3-D!!!

No rubber chickens were harmed in the making of this podcast.
