1st Assistant Sound
(Boom operator)
For more than 25 years, I've had the pleasure of travelling to breath-taking locations in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, helping capture amazing performances on almost every kind of project.
It's been an honour to work with some of the best crews in the world, and I look forward to working with you on your next project.
Equipment
Along with an extensive amount of specialised equipment for Boom Operating; I am continually adding to a modern, ultra-compact, full-service, on-set recording system, perfectly suited to: feature films, scripted series, documentary, EPK, Advertising, 2nd/Additional units, effects gathering, voice over work, and even podcasts.
Additional equipment can easily be acquired through a local network of sound mixers, with a small amount of prep time.
Call ahead to discuss the equipment requirements for your project.
