Our Sound Team Network
What positions make up a sound department?
A full sound department typically includes: Production Sound Mixer (department head, operates recorder and mixing), Boom Operator (primary microphone placement), and Utility Sound/Sound Assistant (wireless management, cable runs, second boom). Smaller productions may combine roles, while larger ones add positions like Playback Operator or additional boom ops.
How do you determine team size?
Team size depends on production complexity—number of speaking roles per scene, wireless requirements, camera coverage, and pace of shooting. We assess your production's needs and recommend appropriate crew levels that balance coverage with budget efficiency.
Do your teams come with equipment?
We offer flexible options: teams with their own equipment packages, teams with rented equipment we coordinate, or teams using production-provided gear. Many of our mixers own comprehensive kits, while others prefer working with rental equipment.
Can you provide teams for long-running productions?
Yes. We support ongoing TV series, multi-week commercial campaigns, and feature films with consistent sound team coverage. We can maintain crew continuity throughout your production or arrange rotating teams for extended schedules.
What about replacing team members during production?
We can arrange replacement crew if team members become unavailable during production. We prioritize crew familiar with the project when possible and ensure proper handoff of production-specific information to maintain consistency.
Do you provide sound teams for international co-productions?
Yes. Our sound teams are experienced working with international productions filming in Japan. They're comfortable with varied workflows, international crew integration, and can communicate in English as well as Japanese.
