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.
