Becky Thomson - Film  TV Location Sound

Credits

I’ve recorded six fully funded feature films and three HE TV dramas during a long and varied career where every job, whether drama or documentary, adds to the experience I take to the next.

Occasionally I take work as a post production sound designer which has given me additional insights for location mixing, aiding me to provide the best possible service to the post team.  In drama I maintain very good communications with Post which is often commented on as a significant benefit.
