Orin, B.U. punting, and Joelle (p. 298)

quote

Disney Leith said she had the knack: her camera-hand was rock-steady; even the early clips from the start of the Y.W. season looked shot off a tripod. […] Orin had blasted up Comm.’s hill and brought Joelle back a Bolex-compatible Tatsuoka recorder w/ sync pulse, a cardioid mike, a low-end tripod w/ a barney to muffle the Bolex’s whir, a classy Pilotone blooper and sync-pulse cords, a whole auracopia. It took Leith three weeks to teach her to use the Pilotone. Now the clips had sound.

Context

Her talent certified by JOI's own technical man — Leith says she has the knack, the rock-steady hand — and her kit itemized down to the barney that muffles the Bolex's whir. The equipment list reads like a love letter written in gear; "a whole auracopia" is the scene's coinage for it.
