Various interior atmospheres, hotel rooms, lobbies, cicadas at night, traffic.
In the early part of my career, I pretty much made everything on location.
I would get the actors to a location and we'd work outside of the studio with the microphone essentially being the lens of the camera, following the actors around.
It would be
them getting into lifts, getting into cars, walking, it would all be very real.
It's not always possible to do that because...
Sometimes you can't get the cast together, or sometimes the show is so many episodes, it's just too much material to do it in that way.
Or there's lots of settings.
So I would say since COVID, really, most of the projects I've been making have been in studio.
But I've still got my ears very tuned to this sort of documentary style.
And I record wild tracks everywhere.
So I'm very specific.
with the sound, so it really is a Dubai lift.
It's a Dubai hotel lobby.
I think that matters, that it doesn't just sound like a generic hotel lobby.
Well, when I was trying to make it my career,
There was an opportunity at the BBC in the UK where I live to make documentaries in the field.
And there were some shows that I listened to
which were essentially documentaries, but they didn't really have a presenter.
They were very strong stories involving real people, often on journeys.
