I am a dedicated sound recordist.
What does that mean?
It means that recording
sound for video is what I do every day.
I started out my career as a full time employee at a video production company so I have experience
in assisting multiple departments. Today if you are short handed I will move a sandbag, open a c-stand,
help set up a light, or move a camera. What I don't do is go out Monday as a shooter, Tuesday as a grip, and Wednesday
as art department. Everyday I work I'm recording sound.
As a result of my focus on sound, I have the ability to maximize the recorded signal(s) and
problem solve quickly under time-critical situations. These abilities only come with years of experience.
Audio is the one department that so often no one is paying any attention to unless someone later hears a problem
in post. That is the reason you want to hire someone you can trust recording your audio.
Over the years I have learned that not all directors work the same. Some like heavy guidence,
some a little, some not at all. I am very comfortable in establishing parameters before we begin to shoot. An
example, I can notify you every time I hear a plane fly over head, or limit the interaction to what you desire.
Whatever level of communication you request, my first priority is still to protect you.
I want you to be happy with your product, and as a result, I hope to have the chance
to work with you again.
