James Kum

Sound Mixer

James has been mixing for as long as he has been operating and since 2018 has realised his dream of setting up a business providing production sound recording services and kit.

James likes to reveal the entire sonic range of any performance or dialogue. By selecting only the best equipment and employing the latest techniques he can provide fully intelligible and dynamic dialogue tracks that ensure the story is fully told.

We can provide an ‘over the shoulder/bag’ sound kit for more run and gun style shoots (PSC, documentary’s) or you can go with the ‘sound cart’ setup for larger ongoing productions.
