Ian Hitchworth is Rapid

In this project, I got to test out experimental mixing techniques. Since this is a mockumentary, there was an aim to make the audience aware of the crew and break the fourth wall regularly, using these elements to create comedic moments.

My director and I had a meeting beforehand to discuss recording techniques, which I shared with the sound designer. For the characters who were a part of the “documentary” (the interviewer and Ian), we would place the radio mics on their costumes, as we would for a normal interview. For any characters that were not a direct part of the “documentary” we would hide the radio mics so that they felt more like “real people”.
