DAVE HARDY
LOCATION SOUND SUPERVISOR / RECORDIST
I am a Sound Recordist/Supervisor working across TV, Documentaries and Commercials. I have vast experience in setting up and mixing huge numbers of radio microphones, operating large multitrack, timecode, radio comms and talkback systems. Equally at home behind a desk, on a trolley, or with a bag around my neck. I have travelled around the world: documenting everything from Congolese evangelical exorcisms and Russian mafia porn films to soggy bottoms and model trains. My kit has travelled with me and is fully flight-cased, ready at a moment’s notice with carnet lists prepared.
I have established relationships with several kit hire companies and so, if in the unlikely event of requiring additional kit, I can source them at short notice. I own a 4×4 Kit Van for work purposes.
