Article, Production SoundBy Henri RappDecember 16, 2017

    Final day filling in on a union feature! It’s been great working with such a fantastic crew! Fantastic sound team on this weeks shoot! Having two boom ops and a utility on this film has really allowed us to not only level up the level of quality audio we are delivering but also allows us to move quickly and work efficiently! Great day 3 filling in on this union feature film! Loving working on my new cart for this film! Plant mic captured a 3+ page monologue flawlessly today! Great day 2! Did sound for one of the most complicated scenes to date….11 speaking roles in a one take steadicam shoot in a giant ballroom…and it worked out fantastically! 15 channels of RF without issue! First gig of 2023! Day 1 filling in on a union feature film! Great day I couldn’t have done without my two boom ops and utility! Rewiring my bag for an upcoming job….up to 10 talent mics and 2 IFB mixes. Finishing up this shoot with a sit down interview! Due to the fast paced nature of run and gun shoots, it’s essential to support cameras with both camera hops and timecode boxes. Today we have a Lectrosonics LR receiver for reference audio & an Ambient Nanolockit for timecode. This allows for a streamlined workflow follow from production threw post-production. Nice quick pharma commercial! Three camera single talent shoot, with 10 IFBs for client/agency!
