Aru Labs | Project-based opportunity

Aru Labs is looking for a Production Sound Recordist / Location Sound Mixer for an upcoming independent web-series project being produced for a client.

This is a project-based opportunity, not a permanent position at Aru Labs.

• Maintain clean audio levels and recordings
• Manage wireless microphones and boom recording
• Record useful room tone and location ambience
• Identify and communicate sound issues before or during takes
• Maintain organized audio files and backups
• Coordinate with the post-production sound team when required

What we're looking for

• Previous experience as a production sound recordist, location sound mixer or boom operator
• Strong understanding of dialogue recording
• Experience with boom microphones and wireless lavalier systems
• Comfortable recording in both controlled interiors and unpredictable outdoor environments
• Good knowledge of professional sound equipment
• Strong attention to detail
• Calm and collaborative approach on set

Experience in films, web series, short films, commercials, music videos or documentary production is welcome.

• Know how to work efficiently on a small set
