Workshop Registration

Introduction to Location Sound Recording

NOTE: It is recommended that participants wear a mask for all in-person workshops.

The biggest technical shortcoming of many videos and independent films is the sound, give your project a boost with one of the most important jobs on set. Participants will explore the different types of recorders, microphones and mixers used in a low budget independent film production and DIY projects. Learn the foundational theory and hands-on practice of location sound recording, professional recording techniques, on-set and location tips and the responsibilities of the sound team.

Please note that a workshop does not substitute the need for LIFT members to perform a proficiency test in order to rent particular LIFT equipment and/or facilities from our Technical Department.
