Location Sound Recordist
About Me
I have experience in mixing scripted and unscripted projects. From film to tv drama to commercials to promos to feature documentaries to documentary series.
My work has been broadcast on BBC1,BBC2,BBC3,BBC4, Channel 4, Channel 5, ITV, Sky and Streamed on Netflix, Amazon and Paramount.
I work closely with directors, producers and post production teams to provide work flows and the sound they require. I understand the need for a nuanced approach in order to capture the best possible performances while going the extra mile to deliver the best sound available in a wide and varied set of locations and environments world wide.
As a location sound recordist with over 30 years’ experience, I have built a record of producing the best audio in some of the most challenging conditions on the planet. I have completed many returning series with some of the biggest household names in tv and film. I can go from cart to bag, from large multi-track film sound set ups to bag-based documentary film making to ultra-light fast run and gun.
I have a friendly approach to get the best possible sound working in collaboration with all departments to solve any potential issues on location. I have worked on returning series for over 15 years with same production companies that I feel talks for itself, giving production the peace of mind and confidence, they are getting the best sound possible.
