I’m gearing up for a late-September 2026 mini-documentary shoot in beautiful Tahoe City and need reliable sound support. Specifically, I’m looking for one intermediate-level boom operator and intermediate-level production sound mixer to work closely with my small camera team throughout the shoot. Your role • Boom Operator – keep the mic perfectly placed in often breezy, outdoor lakeside environments, maintain steady boom technique during interviews and vérité scenes, and collaborate with the mixer for optimal levels. • Production Sound Mixer – run the field mixer/recorder, monitor levels, manage gain structure, label files, and hand off organized audio at wrap each day. Schedule & location • Two consecutive shoot days scheduled for September 21st, 22nd and 1/2 23rd 2026 • All company moves remain within Tahoe City limits; Gear Please let me know what professional field recorders, shotgun booms, or wireless lav sets you own. If you have an established kit rate, feel free to include it in your note. Deliverables • Poly-wav files (24-bit/48 kHz) with clear labeling • Basic sound report for each shoot day • Brief debrief on any audio issues or wild lines captured Intermediate-level experience is key: you’ve handled small-crew documentary shoots before, know how to work fast in daylight-only schedules, and communicate calmly on set. If you’re available for those dates, familiar with documentary pacing, and can get to Tahoe City easily, I’d love to hear about your recent projects and the gear you can bring.

Hi, Regarding your project: "Tahoe City Mini-Doc Sound Crew" I'm Firoo. I've spent the last few years editing video professionally, and this is exactly the kind of project I like taking on. Based on your project details, you need editing that's clean, well-paced, and keeps people watching — no filler, no dead air. I work mainly in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve — cutting, color, sound, all of it — and I've handled everything from social clips and Reels/Shorts to full corporate videos. I can get started right away and have a first draft to you within 24 hours, with revisions included until it's right. I take quality seriously on every project and provide clear milestone updates so you are always in the loop. Would it help if I sent over a quick sample first? Looking forward to hearing from you. Firoo

I’m a professional Audio Engineer, and while I’m not available as an on-set boom operator or production sound mixer, I can definitely support you with the audio post-production after the shoot. I can handle the recorded production audio, including dialogue cleanup, noise reduction, leveling, EQ, and overall audio restoration to make the interviews and vérité scenes clear and consistent. I can also work with your Poly-WAV files and help prepare the dialogue for the final documentary mix. If you already have someone handling production sound on set, I’d be happy to step in afterward and take care of the post-production audio. Send me a message and we can discuss the project and workflow.

Hi, Aashiq here from Cape Town, South Africa. This project instantly caught my eye, so I had to reach out. I see you’re looking for an intermediate-level boom operator and production sound mixer for your mini-documentary shoot in Tahoe City. The need for reliable sound support in those beautiful outdoor settings sounds exciting. I've worked extensively on small-crew documentary shoots, helping teams capture high-quality sound in challenging environments. I’m confident in my ability to keep the mic perfectly placed and manage audio levels effectively. Feel free to ask for samples of my recent projects to see my work. Based on what you mentioned, here is how we would approach the project: - Collaborate closely with the camera team for seamless audio integration - Ensure steady boom technique during interviews and vérité scenes - Deliver organized poly-wav files and sound reports at the end of each shoot day You can count on clear communication throughout, and I’ll ensure a user-focused solution optimized for performance. Best Regards, Aashiq
