On The Chi, we served in multiple sound department roles, including sound playback operator, 2nd unit boom operator, and additional sound utility, each requiring flexibility and precision in a fast paced, location heavy production environment. As the playback operator, we managed music and dialogue cues for performance scenes, syncing audio with on camera action and ensuring seamless timing during takes. While working as a 2nd unit boom operator, our professionals captured clean dialogue and wild sound for secondary scenes, often in high traffic urban areas that demanded creative mic placement and quick problem solving. In our role as additional sound utility, we assisted with wiring talent, maintaining wireless frequencies, managing batteries and IFBs, and supporting the mixer and boom team to ensure smooth operations on set. These roles allowed us to contribute directly to the show's high production value and authentic soundscape that reflects the heart of Chicago.
