Very proud that this film I was boom op on last year is now out in cinemas! It's had a lot of great reviews and is Mark Kermode's film of the week. Had a great time filming this with a lot of cool people. The trailer is here: www.thelasttree.film
What a day to film some football!
To record this Lewes women's match I had Lectrosonics radio mics with DPA 4060s on the manager and team physio and boomed from the sideline with an 8060 into my 633. We were hoping to get a mic on the ref but the FA refused... I also tuned into the stadium announcements with a spare radio in Ch 70.
For atmos I rigged G3s with Cos 11s next to the goals to pick up the goal action, with receivers going into a Zoom F8 recorder along with an Audio Technica MS mic on the opposite side of the pitch between the dugouts to record the pitch action and managers' shouting, and Audio Technica XY mic pointing backwards toward the crowd to get stereo crowd reactions. Everything was kept in sync with Tentacle TC boxes.
Recorded for Wayward Women's feature doc 'REDS'.
Three doors - the Italian consulate in Prague, courtroom doors in Nuremberg, and the cathedral in Strasbourg.
I've just finished a week's shoot across Europe for 'Getting Away With Murder(s)', a feature length doc for cinema about the Nazis and those responsible for WW2 atrocities who were never brought to justice for their crimes. 2200 miles in a car! It was a really interesting and sobering shoot, and I'm really happy with how it sounded.
An old dream realised today - recording the rattles, hums, squeaks, clanks, hiss and rhythms of an industrial plant. This majestic saltcastle is a polyhalite and potash refinery near Whitby, filmed for an independent doc about an underground lab studying dark matter.
After a morning filming miners digging 1.4km under the North Sea we went to the cliff tops of Whitby to film the waves breaking on the surface - from over 40°c at the mine heading to freezing in the wind above.
TBT installation 'The Garden' which I sound designed and helped install for FutureFest in July. Over 15 hours we transformed a bare room in Tobacco Docks into an industrial wasteland/rewilded agroforest. Concept/design/produced by London Glades, lighting by Neill Francis @indigorebelfilms
It ain't pretty but it works! Resoldering a 4-pin hirose and splicing with a DC connector (taken from a wall plug) to power a second mixer from a BDS power distro. The TA3 patch leads were so simple compared to this.
