🎙️ FIELD AUDIO & LOCATION SOUND FOR VIDEO PRODUCTION

🎙️ FIELD AUDIO & LOCATION SOUND FOR VIDEO PRODUCTION
Presented by the Colorado Professional Videographers Association (CoPVA)

The difference between a professional production and an amateur one is often heard before it’s seen. Join us as we explore the tools, techniques, and decision-making processes behind exceptional location sound.

Join us on Monday, July 6, 2026, for an evening dedicated to one of the most important—and most overlooked—skills in video production: capturing great sound.

We’re bringing together two of Colorado’s most experienced location sound professionals for an engaging live panel discussion packed with real-world production stories, practical techniques, workflow strategies, gear recommendations, and audience Q&A.
