LOCATION SOUND​

Outdoor dialogues and atmosphere recording example.
Level management, atmosphere separation. Straight from live mix
Mics:
Cardioid AT4057 (dialogue)
Cardioid AT4057 (atmos)
Sennheiser MKE2 capsules

Here you can taste the crisp quality of the MKE2 paired with a cardioid microphone. Cardioids give a fantastic natural quality, but they are not suited for outdoors...until you find yourself on an icy lake.

This is shot in Hawaii, under constant rain and heavy wind.

Recording sound on adventurous, traveling sets is Luigi’s cup of tea. He especially likes to do it when it’s dangerous and challenging. His profound love for environment and the wilderness – in a truly Thoreau-esque way –  brings him often on naturalistic documentaries.

Luigi works in all kind of commercials, TV, ENG, reality shows and events, as well as documentaries and films in all 5 continents.

RESPIRANO gear list is especially suited for traveling and naturalistic documentaries and reality shows – anything that’s difficult to handle. Luigi shines when operating with long  recording distances, hard weather, harsh humidity/heat, noisy or windy environments, physically challenging projects (including climbing, sailing, hiking, sleeping on a hammock in the forest, facing all kind of animals!).

Luigi’s extensive professional experience in sound post is also an important asset that makes him stand out.

Knowing perfectly what sound editors expect and how sound is being treated and played on different media, he is able to address any problems before it’s too late. And you know that on a set, too late is often very early.

Here are some pictures that shows Luigi working all around the world, and documenting where RESPIRANO’s unique sound catalogue comes from.

Gear list below the pictures!
