BlackZebra – quality and professionalism for high demands.
BlackZebra is a young and innovative audio enterprise specialising in location sound for documentary films and advertisements produced on film set.

Location Sound for Documentary Film

Capturing the facts, emotions and mood on set is particularly important in documentary films. This can be quite a challenge when there's is heavy background noise pressent. For this reason, optimal planning and implementation of location sound recordings is a pre-requisite for perfect realisation of the task. BlackZebra configures the most optimal sound technically possible at every location and in all acoustic conditions.

Location Sound for Advertising

Creative advertising demands the finest technical implementation - one of BlackZebra's core competencies. Your product should not only appear in the best light, but be heard in the best sound. Optimised visual and sound guides customers to their intended purchase or product decision. Whether working with children, adults or imaginary figures, BlackZebra has a long and documented performance record of optimal implementation.

Equipment

BlackZebra makes use of the best equipment using only the most recognized quality brands and thus meets every situation. The available signal flow, from the microphone on the boom pole (Schoeps CMIT 5U) to the recorder (SoundDevice 633), meets the highest demands. Noises, interviews or live commentaries are provided according to the latest technical standards in their own files. These files are directly available to the client for further processing in electronic form.
