A sound reminder to my documentary film people on the importance of recording dialogue while on set:
If something is wrong with a shot, you can always cut to B-roll during a story, but you can’t cut away to room tone in the middle of somebody’s sentence, even with the most beautifully-lit scene in frame 😉 thanks for listening

Important content from our friends at Henri Rapp Recording…

Why budget for a separate boom op? It’s akin to a Director of Photography not having an assistant camera to pull focus. While it may make sense for some productions there are limits to what is possible without. Having a dedicated boom op increases possible speed, quality, & complexity of work that is achievable.

First shoot of 2024 in Poughkeepsie, NY. As always, it’s great working close to home! I’ve got lots of availability for the rest of the year, but it goes fast, so reach out for booking in the early stages of your project…there’s nothing worse than scrambling at the last minute for sound, when it’s such a crucial component of any shoot.
