In my experience ~ A good sound recordist is like a good drummer. There is usually only one of them. They keep solid time. Work diligently behind the lead talent. And if they are doing their job… they make everyone on set sound great!
Hi, my name is JD! Over the years I have had the great fortune to be able to work across a wide variety of genres with a wealth of incredibly talented production staff and the crews they assemble.
As such, I know that the best sound recordist is the one that comes prepared on the day, understands set etiquette, is detail oriented and efficient, and easy to get along with. Let’s face it, days can be long, sets can be cramped or hot, and while you want someone who takes their role seriously, having a positive attitude can make for a more pleasant shoot!
