PRODUCTION CREW AND PRO AUDIO HIRE IN MELBOURNE

WE’RE OPERATORS, NOT ACCOUNT MANAGERS. THE PEOPLE YOU CALL ARE THE PEOPLE ON SET. FOR THE JOBS WHERE YOU DON’T GET A SECOND RUN AT IT.

Trusted on broadcast and live productions.

Capture the shoot

Drone, video and location sound for productions that need the technical stuff worked out before the shoot day, not on it.

Run the event

PA systems, FOH and audio crew for events that can't afford a bad sound day. We’ve done enough of these to know when it’s bad, and how to avoid that.

Record the podcast

You talk. We record and produce podcasts that sound like they belong alongside the big players. Footscray studio or we come to you.

WHAT WE DO

EASY TO EXPLAIN.
HARD TO DO WELL.

Most people can describe what a sound recordist and drone operator does. Fewer can do it well with a 5am call time and a full camera crew waiting.

SEE ALL SERVICES

Aerial footage.
CASA already dealt with.

CASA approvals, airspace, flight planning. Sorted before you arrive on set. The flight is the easy part. The planning is where shoots are nailed.

DRONE SERVICES

Location sound.
Clean from take one.

We've been on enough sets to know what can go wrong. We show up prepped, know set etiquette and have the technical stuff sorted before your post team asks.

LOCATION SOUND

Live audio. No drama
on the day.

PA, FOH engineering and production management for events that need it done properly. Keep a cool head, make it sound great. That's what we do

LIVE AUDIO

Raw footage that needs
finishing.

If the audio’s cooked, the moment’s gone. Sound mixing, design, voiceover and noise reduction. Delivered in broadcast or digital standard.

WHAT WE DO

HIGH-END GEAR.
NO CREW REQUIRED.

Renting audio gear can be a minefield. Flogged out packages, consumer kit, gear that hasn't been tested since it was bought. That's not us. Everything in the hire catalogue is the same gear we use on our own jobs. It lives in Pelican cases, gets tested before every hire and looks like it just came out of the box.

WHY CREATIVE KICKS

WE'VE WORKED ON THE JOBS THAT
DON’T HAVE A BACKUP PLAN.

01

The gear is what we
actually use.

No cheap consumer stuff as a fill in. Everything in the hire catalogue is the same kit we take on set and to events. It lives in Pelican cases for that reason.

02

The boring stuff is
already sorted.

CASA licensed. $20 million public liability. Compliance handled before anyone asks. It's the least exciting thing about us and the reason big productions book us.

03

We’ve been on enough large
sets and events to know.

We over prepare so we can go with the flow on the day. We're the crew you call when you’ve got to get it done without drama.
