Pre-Production
-
Is your location quiet enough for sync sound? Listen for air conditioning, traffic, machinery, airplanes, voices.
-
How are the acoustics of indoor spaces? Echoey spaces can be difficult.
-
Are you planning long shots that will make a boom mic impractical?
-
Will your actors be moving while delivering dialog? Will they be widely spaced when delivering dialog?
-
Will the camera be moving? Dolly; handheld; documentary style?
-
If body mics are required, can your actors be dressed in natural fibers to minimize clothing noise?
-
Will AC power be available?
Production
-
Film or video?
-
Surround?

On-set playback (e.g. music video)?

Linear audio (DAT) or non-linear with metadata? What delivery format?
Post-Production

Don’t finish your audio in the edit suite. Even if time or budget are tight, audio post-production makes a world of difference!
You can send automatic audio interchange (OMF) files to us from all the leading editing packages.
