A short student sci-fi film following a mechanic as he tries to fix a faulty robot.

My experience

This was my first experience on set as a sound recordist. I had been asked to help out, and I took on the role of sound assistant. I was taught how to use the equipment and about mic positioning and I learnt a lot about what to listen for.

All shooting happened in a studio, so learning was made a bit of an easier experience for me, due to being in a controlled environment. I learnt how to communicate with a crew and fit in quickly.
