Versatile Sound Recording for Television, Video and Web
Synopsis of Work Experience:
Location Sound / Production Sound Mixer - documentary, broadcast, drama, web, reality, news and corporate. I own gear - for fast-paced on-the-run documentaries or digital studio recording. I have the latest in digital recording equipment and plenty of wireless mikes for reality-style productions or multi-channel documentaries.
I am familiar with many types of video cameras - including HD formats and the Red Camera.
Related sound experience: former music studio owner, live concert sound engineer, music recording & mixing, radio broadcast and theatre. I am also an artist and filmmaker.
I’ve been working with sound and audio recording since 1979 and as a freelance production sound mixer for television since 1998.
