I'm a freelance sound recordist working all over the UK. I've been trained by the BBC and NFTS.
Click here to contact me
I’m experienced with shoots of pretty much any format - 35mm, 16mm, HDCAM, Red ONE, Digibeta, DVCAM, DV/HDV etc.
I bring my own sound equipment, in any setup from ENG mixer-and-mic to full feature film sound cart with multiple booms, radio mic rack & antennae, wireless monitors for director & continuity, multitrack hard disk recorder, timecode kit etc.
 
I enjoy running about with a cameraman wearing a mixer round my neck, or being on a big set with one of my network of boom ops.
