On a frequent basis

1 (720) 299-2084

  (Nick) Video production, film or television, I have you covered with the gear. Plus, decades of experience as a sound person. As a sound recordist and multi production expert I’m frequently adding new audio gear, grip & camera support. On every opportunity. Helping hiring clients.

If you need someone who can help in more than one expertise to speed up your production, call me.

Hiring me as your location sound technician is reliable and more versatile than your typical freelance sound recordist. In my additional experience, with ownership of gear. I can help any incoming shooter/camera person, crew, network, producer or production company. With additional gear, plus the expertise for decades in location sound. Scroll down to see the gear list.

But if you just need a sound man with decades experience in video production, film and television production, I’m your go-to audio guy in Colorado.

More than a local location sound resource: It seems aside from my large inventory of audio gear I’m frequently adding more camera support. Gear that crews typically can’t fly in from other states.  I offer this gear at reasonable rental rates making me more than just a local freelance audio guy. Typical camera support gear; delivered when I’m your sound person.

I add to the grip & lighting with flags, apple boxes, 4×4’s, silks, frames, flags, C-Stands & lighting equipment. Always to help everyone out. If you’re traveling into Colorado by plane that does not allow all the gear you’d like to bring; unless at huge cost. I have additional equipment like lighting, monitors, cables, lighting and grip gear.  Erasing the baggage fees that airlines charge for impractical cargo that you can’t manage when coming into Colorado.

Call me as your local sound guy with extra camera support gear, as well the experience, so you can catch your return flight, bring less, and rely on a local resource for your production sound mixer. On smaller scale assignments I can double assisting as a sound recordist and as a gaffer or grip or as an AC/Assistant Camera.
