Brandon Sequeira is a production sound mixer and boom op based out of Los Angeles, California.

Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just starting out, this podcast is packed with great stories and lessons about recording on-location.

In this episode we talk with Craig Henighan (Supervising Sound Editor/SFX Re-Recording Mixer), Paul Massey (Dial/Music Re-Recording Mixer) and Ryan Cole (Dialog Supervisor) from the Shawn Levy directed film, Free Guy. We talk about finding sonic space for dialog when total chaos is happening on screen, dealing with visual effects changing with each new delivery and ADR during a pandemic.
