Major Project: Searching for Sound Ops
Finding a Sound Op
After having a very important meeting with my DOP, He alerted how important it is to get a good, confident sound operator, that way I won't need to worry about it on the day. At first I was going to use one of the students but I think I would still end up having doubts on the day so I want to look for a real industry professional.
I decided to use Mandy.com because of its wide database. I love the fact you can search for crew as well so I made sure to make use of this feature by posting an advert. In the advert I wanted to give as much details as possible because I want the sound op to understand the working conditions and how many actors are involved because this would let them know what equipment they would need.
The advert:
I was overwhelmed with the responses because it requires me to think about a wide variety of different aspects. It is very different than searching for actors, I am not thinking about what they look like, I have to consider what kit they have, the level of experience, the previous work they have worked on and make my decision from that. I have breifly looked at the profiles and so far I am aiming towards;
Krzysztof Kiedo
I took a look at his personal website which he linked and his past credits where astonishing;
His credits have given me confidence that his quality of work would exceed the standard that I require for mine. My next step would be to find out where he is based and go from there.
