This is one that you've wanted from the beginning! Sound Mixing for me is the one of the best parts of Post Production. It can make a MASSIVE difference in your soundtrack and how you can let the film be perceived by your audience. It requires you to ask yourself "What kind of feeling am I wanting? What style of film am I making? Does the sound represent this?" This can be managed with your mix.
I go through what I do for my films, what levels you should be achieving for your dialogue, music, SFX and more. I hear so many films either be too quiet or so loud you throw your phone across the room. Don't be that person. Don't make a bad impression in the first few seconds of your film with bad sound.
We also have a little announcement: WE ARE OFFERING MENTORSHIPS. DM us on Instagram @_soundisstory for more details!

Hello again... We're back after an unintentional break these past 2 weeks! 5 weddings in 8 days across the country here in the UK.
It's been beautifully chaotic.
This weeks episode is nice and easy for you. I go over 5 things for you to improve the sound and life of your lav mics. Placement, stickies/accessories, longevity...The placement of a lav mic can really make a difference in how it sounds. Too close and you can overload, too far away and it sounds thin and airy - I go over the finger and thumb rule so you can get the best placement every time. If you have seen it already, I dig through my accessories box that I have at my hip at every wedding. There's been many occasions where I've needed to hide the mic, so I go through what I use and why. There's also some simple tips on how to keep you lavs in top condition so you can get the most out of them.
Hope this one helps as lav mic positions has been one of the biggest topics that's popped up our DM's.
Let's Do This

We are always big advocates for taking time in our consultations calls and pre-wedding calls to discuss the wedding in detail towards the sound aspect of the day. Our couples are sometimes a bit blanked face when faced with questions like "How is your day going sound?" or "Is there any important sound elements that you wish you could hear back?" BUT sometimes they think for a minute and suddenly another perspective of their day suddenly appears in their head.
You can ask what music they like to listen to at home or on their own or when together. While you don't exactly need to use this type of music in their film, it can give you an insight into the kind of relationship they have or type of people they are when not surrounded by 10/100's of people. And this is where your questions start coming into play!
Check out this weeks episode on how we break down our calls and what things we ask our couples to get the most info out of them so we are prepared for the day and what we can do in the edit.

Last week Shannon and I had the opportunity to capture an incredible elopement in London. I was solo shooting with Shannon being the photographer so I had to really plan and take note of what I was wanting and how I was going to capture it and how I will be using it in the edit!
So this is a full breakdown starting from the consultation calls with the couple, what they wanted, what package they booked and how that reflected what I/we shot and sound recorded in London. This episode will include EVERYTHING I did - What kit I used, the shots ideas I have and what I did to make sure I was covered for the edit!
Head over to our Instagram highlights for a visual breakdown of the kit I used for this elopement! _@soundisstory

When you think back to old memories do you see or hear them? When you listen to a certain song and it suddenly transports you back to when you first heard it or what it meant to you at that time... Implicit memory is an incredible thing and something that we as filmmakers sometimes don't take into account when we think about our films. Music and Sound can transport people back to certain points in their life so why not take advantage of it?
