Beat the Heat

I handled location audio for this Beat the Heat production — a public safety or branded piece about heat awareness, likely shot in the Phoenix metro area during summer. Summer in Phoenix is a recurring production context; the extreme heat is itself part of the story and the practical challenge.

Outdoor production in 110°F+ temperatures requires attention to equipment performance: batteries lose capacity faster in extreme heat, and wireless systems can have reduced range in the desert’s particular RF environment. Keeping audio gear cool and functional while working exterior locations in peak summer conditions is part of the job description in Arizona.
