About Rob

  • Share profile:
    My background lies in TV Drama where I was a sound assistant for four years. Within this training period I worked within a highly experienced sound department including three time Bafta nominated sound recordist - Rudi Buckle.

    Within this position I was frequently relied upon as second boom operator and as a result my boom operating skills soon advanced. In my own time I started boom operating on corporate jobs, short films and music promos.

    I still enjoy working as a Boom operator but over the past two years I've brought my own equipment and turned my focus onto recording. I set out with the intention to specify in the corporate and documentary fields and have done so compiling a respectable CV. But my current aim is to build on my recording credits to forfill my future goal, an accomplished career in documentaries.

    My goal in documentary is not just for a professional line of work as my interest and excitement into this field expands further than this. This genre has always provoked my inner self and challenged my understanding of the world. Because of this I'm always working on my own projects and helping friends out with theirs.
