Filmmaking / Directing : I'm a freelance sound man with many options in my bag of tricks! by George Tataje

Dear Filmmaker, I'm a sound man responding to your posting in Craigslist for your shoot. I have all my own gear: the Sennheiser MKH 416 shotgun mic-used in every movie you've ever seen, the Zoom H4n digital recorder (the new industry standard that provides superior sound quality, used on movies like "Argo"and "The Hobbit: an Unexpected Journey", is also the preferred recorder of every rental shop), and a pair of Beyerdynamic noise-cancelling headphones for superior sound detail (more gear available if needed as I have a small budget to get other gear). I can also enhance the recorded audio via my Pro Tools studio. I can also transfer the raw audio into your hard drive or onto any other media desirable. A unique file gets created for each take, and it is recorded in a way that gives you lots of headroom to play with in post without distorting. In either case, you get a clean, crisp, digital audio recording that is reliable and fool-proof. In fact, the recordings sound so good that I have YET to have anyone ask for me to “fix” any of the raw audio that I’ve recorded so far! I also do “wild ADR” wherever possible for the best takes, as well as various foley effects enhance the sound of a scene. I have some pre IMDB credits as well as over 20 other shoots completed (with 16 done just this year alone):"Mary", “Project 214”, "Blind Chance" http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4969338/ "Nature's Gift: The Beach" (a documentary), and a few recent films that are currently in post production (including one music video:http://www.cherrykissproductions.com/kubrilesque/), “Never Too Old, An Easter Story” (here is the short video-  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOFJbxUCQHc(Preview)  (Preview) ), "Brain Eater", "Daisy", “One Night”, "The Invisible Lover", “Another Grace and Johny Adventure: Zombie Island”: (http://vimeo.com/60141067)(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2735678/) (http://www.imdb.com/rg/s/4/name/nm0697173/#lb-vi2904729369-the first half of this actress’s demo reel at the bottom), “Smarty Pants”: (http://teachsmartypants.com/pilot/ ), “In the End”, "I Love You", “Me and Zoey”, “Blood of My Blood”, “Super Zero”, “Suzy Enamorada”, “Spread:The Series”(https://www.facebook.com/SpreadTheSeries?fref=ts), and “The Routine”, “Test One” and “The Truth about Quiet Canyon Lane” are all now either in post production or already released, may be listed on IMDB. I also do work for actor's reels and a few more “quick” shorts and commercial submissions.  “Lovely”, “The Beacon”, and “The Value of Ex”: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRbDUDHTeRg&feature=youtu.be), and “Isaiah is Talking”, “The Cowboy”, and “Where's the Money”, and “Lowlifes” and “The Casting Couch” talkshow are ongoing.  “Johnny Danger” is scheduled to be released in August 2013: (http://subsistence.wix.com/johnnydanger). and “La Verdad: The Webseries” finished shooting last month. “Hollywood Hitmen” finished principle shooting just last weekend. I have also been mixing live sound since 1990 and I've been working on films since 2000. My sound background comes from my studio engineering experience, where I didn't just learn about the boom mic but all mics and their uses and how to maximize their potential, meaning that I'm a bit fussier and more attentive to details with my miking technique, especially the boom. If interested, please give me call (818) 203-8062. Thanks for your time! George Tataje
