On-set sound services. Canada

 

Location sound

Passionate about preserving performance.

 

Location filming is all about collecting the necessary elements to make your final project shine. 

​​

One of the most delicate elements, is appropriately capturing the performance of your actors. 

​​

Drama deals with emotion, and emotion is almost entirely carried by the quality of an actors voice.

This can be extremely difficult to re-create in post-production.

​​

Comedy relies on timing...  your on-set sound crew need to be able to adapt and respond instantly, ensuring that nothing is left behind.

​​

Choose a sound-team that is passionate about capturing your sound. A team with the experience to get results under trying circumstances, and an understanding that the long work day also needs to be fun.

Collecting dialog and sound effects on-set requires physical-strength, skillful diplomacy, and an over-sized sense of empathy.

​

From documentaries, advertising, and reality shows - to 100+million-dollar special effects extravaganzas.

​

No matter where someone speaks, or when something makes a noise, we accurately position microphones to faithfully capture those sounds.

​​

Constant team-work and negotiation is required.

From hiding microphones in costumes, to figuring out where microphones can move throughout a take; we strive to fit seamlessly into the overall filming process. 

​​

You need confidence that the people responsible for capturing your sound on set are up to the task.  

​​

A great sound crew is full of multidisciplinary problem-solvers, who can skillfully manage egos, while, stealthily capturing sounds.
