Sebastian Dunn(II)
- Sound Department
I'm a passionate and positive sound recordist with a sharp ear dedicated to getting the best possible sound with technical proficiency. I am calm, level-headed and have the technical ability and versatility to adapt quickly to changing environments.
I started working as a sound recordist in 1993. My early work was on environmental documentaries, actuality and corporate production.
Then, in 1994, I achieved a milestone in my career by covering the post-apartheid elections in South Africa for Sky News. Being involved in such a positive and peaceful moment in South African history further solidified my passion for this career.
The elections opened many doors for me and in 1995, I set myself up as a full-time freelance sound recordist. I worked on several local and international productions in the film industry as a boom operator to broaden my experience.
In the last few years, I've spent a lot of my time on documentary productions, although still work in other arenas. This has taken me all over the world, working for the major broadcasting channels in over 30 countries and exploring a diverse range of subjects.
I also now specialize in recording 'The sounds of Africa' having been commissioned by several top international production companies to record animals and general ambiances of Africa.
My favourite 'go-to' is an Ambisonic Microphone that captures immersive surround sounds of the environments I'm recording in. An important tool in the sound design process of most productions.
