Clipboard wrangling...

usually if i'm expected to boom and mix in a run and gun situation i would hope that i wouldn't be expected to take sound notes as well...

On most situations, I provide with them with what file number correlates with the scene-shot number. Nothing fancy b/c it's too difficult to manage both the boom and file management. Don't give them many comments other than things like, plane, car, good audio, etc.
 
Pete- have you thought about a voice recorder on a keyring attached to your harness? You could dictate notes & then review them at the end of the session, or send them electronically at the end of the session.

No that didn't even cross my mind. Great idea John thanks. I found myself having to clean up my notes after each day anyway so this might be a good alternative for the times I'm running and gunning.
 
I mounted a small clipboard clip to the back of the slate, just below the clapper, and made shot lists which fit the size of the slate. The person slating makes the entry. I keep a pen and a whiteboard marker velcoed to the back of the slate as well.
