LOCATION SOUND
Recording sound on adventurous, extreme or traveling sets has been one of my big crushes.
I mainly do it when it's dangerous and challenging, especially if it involves nature, with a few small exceptions.
There I also collect sounds for my custom built catalogue.
I worked in all kind of commercials, TV, ENG and events, as well as documentaries and films in all 5 continents.
My gear list is especially suited for traveling documentaries, especially extreme shootings or difficult conditions. I am able to operate well in extremely long distances, hard weather conditions, extremely noisy or windy environments, physically challenging shootings (including climbing, swimming, hiking).
