Sound recording and boom operating.
A few years ago I developed an interest in sound recording. Around the same time, I realized there was a gap in available boom operators and sound recordists/ mixers. The ones that had been available offered rates beyond the budget of smaller crews and first time film makers.
Depending on your budget and requirements I can work with you to come to an agreement to a fair rate. These services can be provided for narrative work as well as corporate videos, music videos, commercials, comedic spoofs, etc. Please don't hesitate to inquire for more details and rates.
