Had an amazing few days working as a 2ndAS with the loveliest sound team I could ever ask for! So grateful to have learnt so much, and I felt really proud that my lav mics are getting better, and I think my booming is too! I love second booming, the teamwork is awesome 😁

Tonight’s observation: some see fire as warmth or comfort, or think how nice it is; these guys see fire and want to throw things at it

Halloween band last night, followed by location sound jam 🎷

We ran a Radio Mic Workshop today at @nftsfilmtv in Beaconsfield with the brilliant first year sound students and Head of Sound Fraser Barber (@africanut).

The previous three days the students spent with Boom Op @soundmanduncan (Duncan Craig) learning all about boom operating. So today was a chance to learn a bit about wires! Awesome course 👏🎬
