LOCATION SOUND · MELBOURNE

LOCATION
SOUND.

Clean dialogue, recorded right on the day.
TV, documentary, reality, commercials and live sport.

WHAT I DO

SOUND THAT
HOLDS UP IN POST.

I record and mix location sound for productions that can't go back and get it again.

Boom and radio mics on the talent, timecode on every camera, and IFB so the director and producers hear what I hear. I've done this on adventure reality in the desert, nature docos on remote islands, sit down interviews and fast TVC days.

I'm well and truly prepared before call time, then I go with the flow. If the plan changes, the sound still gets done.

Who it's for

Producers, production managers and directors on TV, documentary, reality and branded content.

Where

Melbourne based. Across Australia and overseas when the shoot needs it.

Also on the job

I'm a licensed drone operator too. Sound and aerials from one crew member on the same day.
