What I Do
Production Sound Mixing
Multitrack recording and a clean mix to camera, from one interview to a full multicam day.
Sports & Documentary
My specialty. Embedded, run-and-gun, season-long, wherever the story moves.
Commercials & Corporate
Brand spots, corporate video and reality TV, with wireless feeds for the director and clients.
Timecode & Sync
Slate and sync boxes on every camera, so post doesn’t spend a day lining things up.

Everything lives in travel cases. I’ve worked across the U.S. and in Ghana, Argentina and Mexico.

About Rusty
I’m Rusty Duggan. I’ve been recording sound on location for more than 30 years, mostly sports documentary, plus commercials, corporate work and reality TV.
I’ve spent whole seasons embedded with teams, recorded on ranches, airstrips and arenas, and worked with crews around the country and in Ghana, Argentina and Mexico.
The way I work is simple: show up ready, stay out of the shot, be honest with the people I work for, and charge a fair price. The projects I love most are the ones that tell a real story.
