Production Context.

  • Refugee camp access: filming in Kara Tepe and the former Moria camp required a discreet, respectful and low-profile sound approach in a highly sensitive documentary environment.

  • Host-led investigative workflow: the presenter’s pace and the demands of field reporting left very little room for delay or reset during on-location filming.

  • Formal and politically sensitive interviews required a clean, low-profile location sound setup that could be deployed quickly without drawing attention.

  • Backup equipment was carried across the shoot, since once outside Athens there is often no nearby rental solution in case of failure when filming in Greece.
