RECENT WORK

Citadel: Honey Bunny

The challenging part of making Citadel: Honey Bunny was that it was an action-heavy series with locations that were not easily accessible.

To overcome these hurdles, the Plus1db sound team implemented two sync sound recording setups.
They used a main sound trolley setup for on-set recording, equipped with 12 wireless mics and up to 3 booms for certain action scenes. Additionally, they had a smaller, portable setup with 6 wireless mics and 2 booms, designed for run-and-gun recording—ideal for car chases and locations where the main setup couldn’t be taken. Both setups could run in sync, allowing for up to 18 wireless mics and 5 boom mics to be used simultaneously.

The Plus1db team also had to be constantly prepared for second-unit shoots and rapid sound setup adjustments due to frequent scheduling changes caused by actor availability and shifting locations. Their readiness ensured that no precious production time was lost during the shoot.

SINCE 2005, MUMBAI
