Oscar Winning Sound Designer Sees the Future with the H4n
Frank Serafine is a veteran sound designer who has contributed his audio expertise to landmark films such as Field of Dreams, Star Trek, Tron, and The Hunt for Red October. Now, Serafine is the first person in the world to put the new H4n recorder through its paces in production of the new film Hole in the Head to record all the audio for this groundbreaking documentary.
"The new H4n levels the playing field for everyone. Now, a computer and an H4n are all you need to get professional sound for a movie," notes Serafine. "We record all the dialogue on the set. I use my external mics on channels one and two and at the same time, I use the onboard mics to record room ambiance. On break, we move all the audio files... This is the way sound will be done in future media production."
With a host of features intent on improving audio quality and user experience, the H4n takes functionality to the next level. As Zoom's most sophisticated handheld recorder to date, it's poised to become one of 2009's most versatile audio products.
