What is the driver of that motivation to turn out? Is it the economy? Is it to vote against a particular party? Is it to vote for? What is the motivation? What is the drive of that motivation to turn out for the 50-plus-year-old voters?
22:09
Well, the 50-plus, we found that the rising prices and affordability, so the economy is a factor, social security, healthcare costs, all these things are top issues for your 50-plus voters.
22:23
And I think one of the things that we also found was the numbers of people who rely on things like social security as their primary source of income.
22:34
And so that's why it's so important.
22:36
You know, 48% of voters 50-plus Rely on Social Security as their major social income.
22:42
And then when that number goes up to 65 percent, when you get to 65 and older and those and 65 percent of those people 65 and older say that Social Security is a major source of income for.
22:56
So that's one of the things, you know, money is basically driving their motivation to vote.
25:44
How does a candidate message on that? Can you help me with that? As an AARP representative, how would you suggest candidates message on that? Because it's a very high number.

So you work closely with actors and even if they may not always realise the level of the detail involved, how important is it to you with the relationship with the actors?
11:05
Well, my team are obviously working more closely with the actors on a day-to-day basis.
11:10
So we're putting mics on them.
11:13
We're working with costume and hair and makeup to have a relationship with them, which is really important to make sure that they're happy with where we place mics on them, that the actor's happy and comfortable.
11:25
It's not going to affect their performance.
11:27
We try and strive for not just technical sound, but sound that can enhance a performance with an actor.
11:38
And everybody works differently.

Well, the skills other than the technical ones for working in a sound department certainly are collaboration really is the main one.
0:08
You're working with lighting, guffers, grips, obviously directors and producers.
0:17
And you have to have a, you kind of have to be the no problem department in many ways.
0:24
But it's kind of working with those teams of people.
0:27
For us also, more importantly, on a more intimate scale is working with costume and hair and makeup because we're putting mics on and off people all the time.
0:38
Sometimes they're having to sew patches into costumes and this could be weeks or months before we ever start filming.
