We caught up with Stéphane Bucher on his final day of prep in London for Ridley Scotts latest feature film "Napoleon".

Stéphane gave Simon Bysshe from URSA on a tour of his incredible Sound Setup giving us a unique look at the level of preparation you need to be ready to capture great audio on massive multi-camera productions.

We ask Stéphane how he decides which microphones to utilise, what techniques he uses to get the best range on-set & how his team collaborate to get cast wired and ready to go. Join us as we dig deep through the organisation of his Radio Mic Boxes, Headphone Boxes & nip outside with us as we check out his wicked Sound Trailer!

Stéphane Bucher has worked with some of Hollywood's most successful directors including Luc Besson, Ridley Scott, Damien Chazelle & James Mangold. His Feature Film Credits include : "The Last Duel" , "House of Gucci" , "Lucy" , "Taken 2 & 3" , "Anna" & "Valerian & the City of a Thousand Planets".
