Equipment
Basic equipment package:
16-channel mixer/recorder
2 wireless packs with professional quality lavalier microphones
Boom with a variety of microphones depending on the set location and attributes
Time code sync and/or scratch audio to one camera
This standard package will cover the majority of basic video setups. For larger and more complex projects, the equipment can be scaled to meet the production's needs.
Zaxcom® wireless and recording:
I deploy the unique technology of Zaxcom® which allows for audio capture no matter how complex the production might be. Each wireless pack has patented recording technology which allows for simultaneous transmission and time code embedded, isolated recording. Here are some examples of how these features have been utilized:
Capturing the sound of a pro golfer teeing off while located near the hole
Recording Motocross team coaches during a race while also out on the track
Relying on the radio pack to record an actor's dialogue due to being at a great distance from the camera
Capturing the lead up to a secret reveal on a reality game show without leaving the crew and spoiling the surprise
Additional equipment:
12+ additional channels of wireless
10+ Personal monitoring devices (otherwise known as IFB or comteks) for producers and clients
Time code sync boxes for camera sync
Wireless camera hop for reference audio to camera
