David Gutierrez

Assist street time at COTA, OTFs

I had the unique dual role of acting as the sound mixer for a live reality show Ad-Venture capturing the audio of the entire crew showcasing how commercials are made AND recording audio for the real commercial itself for TeaDeus at the largest LED virtual production volume studio in Texas (Stray Vista) while keeping audio synced between both camera crews. Mixing both reality and commercial formats with an LED wall was a fun challenge, and a single heroic boom operator Noah probably broke the world record for booming constantly, only breaking once for lunch. I answered the call 1 day before, and learned about the dual responsibilities on the day, and still pulled it off.

2nd unit sound mixer, assisting primary sound mixer Kamal Humphrey, C.A.S., which included booming while mixing, following talent in a reality-style dance with 3 other steady cam ops, wiring talent in ceremonial wardrobe, and running plant mics for live musical performance. Multiple hour-long boom sessions in 100+ degrees (this is what I mean by weather-resistant sound ninja abilities).

Capture Jordan's interview audio, practice audio, and coach interview audio.

Wired over 30+ talent, politicians, candidates, and entrepreneurs in a short period of time between a loud main stage, outdoor stage, and reception area in a busy reverberant hallway at the Pamer event center while STILL capturing great audio despite all odds. Getting any useable audio under the circumstances defied all the laws of physics, but I still pulled it off.

Capturing audio was especially critical to get the first time because of limited access to talent. Both the boom transmitter and bodypack transmitters (Sound Devices A10 and Zaxcom ZMT4) had internal backup recordings to guarantee multiple redundant recordings required by the production.

Mix, boom, wire talent, OTFs, capture story moments, on-location VO, and dance in perfect sync with steady cam ops in the wonderfully chaotic waltz of reality TV.

Record Voice Over on location with a large-diaphragm studio condenser Neumann microphone and captured Foley sound of Toyota engine with a high SPL transducer. The client also requested backup lavs, for this I used DPA lavs through a 100% fully digital Zaxcom system. Since this is becoming more common, I've created a mini portable sound booth that can capture great quality sound in an otherwise hostile sound environment. A typical location is not usually acoustically treated or a sound stage, so I use a very flexible and modular system that can adapt to any situation.

Mix and record hosts and subject matter experts. For testimonials, respectfully and quickly wired non-trained actors in a safe and non-invasive manner while making them feel comfortable. Record instructional segment with multiple redundant mics for the instructor.
