Sound, from the set to post-production

I started out passionate about audio post-production and its artistic impact on a film, and soon discovered how well it complements production sound. On set I found a balance between technical rigour and the human side of the job: working with crews, discovering new places and events, and the everyday challenges of location work.

Over the years I have built up an extensive, high-end sound kit, designed around exactly how I work, which also means I am ready for any shoot at short notice.

A sound engineer based in Paris, I also work in the French Basque Country (Bayonne, Biarritz) and regularly in London.

Equipment

Recorders

Sound Devices 833 and MixPre-6 II

12 tracks recorded on one of the most modern and powerful recorders. Its many modules (EQ, compressor, Mix Assist, noise suppression…) make live mixing possible.

Microphones

Sennheiser MKH 8000 range

Interchangeable shotgun, hypercardioid and cardioid capsules, to suit the location and the storytelling.

Mid-Side stereo recording

Essential for documentary

A directional mic paired with a figure-of-eight mic for stereo ambiences, with adjustable width in the mix and perfect mono compatibility.

7 wireless kits

Wisycom transmitters and receivers

Several actors or contributors wired at once, with the best lavalier mics on the market (DPA 6060).

Audio monitoring

For the crew

The director, script supervisor or client listen to the sound live, wirelessly, to follow the dialogue and approve takes in real time.

Wireless boom

Wisycom transmitter on the boom

No cable between the boom and the recorder: the boom operator moves freely, ideal for moving shots and tight sets.

Timecode

5 Deity TC-1 boxes

Precise sync between sound and cameras, to save time in the edit and avoid drift, even with several cameras.
