LIGHTING AND SOUND ON LOCATION – COMBINED ONE DAY TRAINING - BRAND NEW

BRAND NEW! 

This is a dynamic one-day course combining the key elements when using lighting and sound on location. 

Recording clear sound on location is crucial to avoid time-consuming and costly salvage operations in the edit. It is one area that cannot be taken for granted. 

After lunch, this highly practical and hands-on day continues with key techniques involved in lighting on location. 

You’ll walk away with new and robust skills to make any editor smile!
