‘‘The location team did a fantastic job under some sometimes trying conditions, and always went above and beyond... There was very little technical ADR. All of this meant the dialogue edit was about making the right choices, rather than salvaging. Always a pleasure being involved in post when Dane is the production sound mixer’’

— Simon Rosenberg, Dialogue Editor & Pre-Mix Engineer - ‘Windcatcher’ (July 2024)

"Hey Dane. Just wanted to reach out and say what a pleasure it was to work with your tracks and a MASSIVE thanks from myself and Sound Designer Mick Boraso for all the extra recordings you and the team did. Charles is very happy with the way the film sounds. There wasn't an inch of sound that wasn't explored and melded the way he wanted it. It has elevated the film "

— Andy Wright, Academy Award winning Re-Recording Mixer, ‘Inside’ (June 2024)

''Your FX location captures on this film were exceptional given the time and budget. From the prison FX to the crowds, to the vehicles, perspectives and 3rd booms where you could manage them – so many nuggets of gold that are all throughout this track. 

As an FX editor I personally love to honour and feature the hard work of location guys who put in that effort where possible, while dial editors definitely don’t have the time and FX editors need to move quickly with library stuff. It make it easier to find those nuggets of gold in the rushes and on this film it all feels great.''

I watched it on the big screen in the edit suite and heard it on big speakers and was surprisingly moved by the film in ways I'd become numb to due to repeated views. Thanks for doing such a great job.”
