Interviews get a boom and a lav, not a camera mic ‘for safety’. Safety is a second recorder, not a worse microphone.
Wild tracks and room tone are shot even when the day is stills-heavy. A future cutdown will need them.
Music is licensed for the territories in the contract. A temp track that cannot be bought is not a creative direction; it is a trap.
Mix happens with picture, on speakers that resemble the client’s world , a laptop and a television, not only a suite.
We deliver stems when versions will be recut. A printed mix alone is how a six-month-later social cut sounds like a different film.
Stmercure House is on Buchanan Street, a room behind the shopfront with a cove and a small stage for interviews. The work is music venues, makers and the universities that need a plain record of a building. Evenings are the busy half. We plot the changeover, shoot the empty room, then the set, then leave before the encore if the brief says so.
