Sound Kit
My standard kit includes a Sound Devices 552 Mixer, Sennheiser MKH416, (2) Lectrosonics wireless microphones with Tram TR50 lapel mics, all batteries, cables and accessories. For productions requiring multi-track isos, a Sound Devices 664 is available. More gear, such as wireless camera link, dual system recording and playback is available.
Double System Recording / Dual System Recording
More productions are shooting with DSLR cameras like the Canon 5D and Nikon D800. That means sync sound and dual system sound recording. I can handle that with the Sound Devices 664, Sound Devices 552, Tascam HD-P2, Tascam DR-40 or Zoom H4n. You’ll leave with a high quality sound file ready for edit.
ISO Audio Tracks
Iso tracks also referred to as isolated audio tracks are available with the Sound Devices 664 production mixer/ recorder. Lets say you have a cast of 5 people and a boom mic; with iso tracks, you can have individual audio tracks of each cast member available for post production. A reference “scratch track” can be sent to each of the cameras on set with a wireless link.
More Than Sound
I’m well versed in all areas of video and film production. After sound is set, just ask and I’ll help with camera, grip, gaff, you name it. If you’re traveling and need local crew, I can help you get the people you need such as: camera, jib, dolly, steady-cam, make-up artist, teleprompter, grip, gaffer, runner, production assistant and more.
Transcription
You’ll get a head start on post-production. I can e-mail a transcription-ready sound file to your office or transcription service such as Transcription Associates. Your audio files are ready to transfer to your laptop while on locations.
