“I’m Passionate About Storytelling, and Its Technical Process”
STEVEN THOMPSON

“Having worked as a sound recordist for both the BBC and independently on factual and drama productions, I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to be involved in bringing both real, and imaginative stories to life.

 

I’ve had a lifelong interest in film and and although my technical area is predominantly sound, being such an avid consumer of a range of cinematic genres, I see things from a viewers perspective.

 

Most importantly, I’m thinking beyond simply pressing record and capturing natural sounding audio. That is of course very important, but I go further than that, and consider how the sound which I’m recording will be received by the viewer, and how it’s supporting or even driving the story telling”.
