You\u2019re coming to Mexico to shoot some interviews, a documentary, a corporate video or maybe a travel show. You could bring a camera crew with you, or hire one here. Let\u2019s look at some pros and cons. If you hire a Mexico sound man, you get a professional sound recordist who is based in Mexico. You have effortlessly added a Spanish speaking video and film production professional to your team. One who knows the language, the culture and how to avoid any pitfalls. What\u2019s more, you save on the travel expenses and planning that go with bringing your sound person on the plane. It\u2019s also likely that the day rate of your Mexico sound man (or woman) will be lower than what you pay for a location sound recordist at home. This is especially true if you are coming from the US or Europe. What about the cons? You may have someone you\u2019re used to working with, a sound man or woman who knows what to do before you have to tell them. Your trusted colleague knows your working style, laughs at your jokes, and only when the camera\u2019s not rolling! Hopefully they won\u2019t get an upset tummy the day of the shoot because they\u2019re not used to the food. Or find the heat uncomfortable. So, on balance how do the advantages of hiring me as your Mexico sound man match up against any cons? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
