I'm a London based freelance sound recordist and commercial drone pilot (licensed to fly commercially in the UK, Europe, USA, Finland, Canada). Over 14 very enjoyable years working across various formats for all the major broadcasters, both in the UK and around the world. Multiple long running series with 20+ contributors have made me comfortable managing complex workflows with high track counts, and helped me develop a really solid technical understanding of my craft.

I feel privileged to have a job that has allowed me to see so much of the world, and the opportunity to work alongside such talented people. I'm a motivated team player and thoroughly enjoy my work, especially the challenges of working in remote locations. Away from work I like to spend as much time as possible in the mountains and am a keen climber and mountain biker.

I take pride in looking after my kit, and stay up to speed with the latest technologies. I have enough kit in my arsenal to immediately cover the needs of most jobs, see below for a comprehensive list.

Please take a look at my credits/CV/resume to see what I've been up to, and don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your upcoming projects.

To check my availability please call me on 07866 927 591 or, send an email to sebblach@gmail.com.
