The ability to let off explosions/special effects, and film on locations near residents introduces a unique need for our services to keep cameras rolling. We gladly enter into NDAs to protect our trusted clients and the films they are creating.
Whether on a studio sub lot or location, the challenge is to minimise the risk of complaints which could paralyse a shoot. We work with some of the UK's best-known film studios and with production and special effects teams to provide a best practice shield for operations that are time and cost-sensitive.
Our work for film sets and location noise control includes:
-
Liaison with local authority
-
Initial noise audit for proposed activities
-
Prediction checks for SFX, and noise modelling levels at the nearest noise-sensitive housing
-
Drafting Event Noise Management Plans tailored to the location and applying industry best practice
-
Recommending mitigation to minimise noise and air over-pressure waves from large SFX impacts
-
Noise and vibration live monitoring at sensitive locations for damage thresholds of complaint thresholds
-
Managing noise communications during shoots to keep monitoring staff on track
-
Hand-holding through shoots for particularly challenging conditions
-
Preparing "wrap" noise compliance reporting, which can be shared with the local authority or used to refine the approach for future shoots
-
Expert witness at court if necessary to prove best practicable means were in place
