- We caught up with Stéphane Bucher on his final day of prep in London for Ridley Scotts latest feature film "Napoleon".
Stéphane gave Simon Bysshe from URSA on a tour of his incredible Sound Setup giving us a unique look at the level of preparation you need to be ready to capture great audio on massive multi-camera productions.
We ask Stéphane how he decides which microphones to utilise, what techniques he uses to get the best range on-set & how his team collaborate to get cast wired and ready to go. Join us as we dig deep through the organisation of his Radio Mic Boxes, Headphone Boxes & nip outside with us as we check out his wicked Sound Trailer!
Stéphane Bucher has worked with some of Hollywood's most successful directors including Luc Besson, Ridley Scott, Damien Chazelle & James Mangold. His Feature Film Credits include : "The Last Duel" , "House of Gucci" , "Lucy" , "Taken 2 & 3" , "Anna" & "Valerian & the City of a Thousand Planets".

For me it is refreshing to note that the sound recorder the professionals use doesn't have a 'pro' in it's name and is waaaay more expensive than anybody else but a real pro can afford. It was also a relevation to discover that the 'definitely out of my aspiring pro range' device - the 888 - was the backup device. So loving it. What a reality check. Thanks a ton for this most educational contribution!
It’s really cool how he uses the MixPre-3 II for added ambience. Just goes to show how far the preamps have comes for prosumer recorders-they’re good enough that they can be used by true professionals for ambience, SFX, and as a backup recorder.
The level of his audio game is so next level. Very inspiring.
This is as good as it gets. Seriously. Probably $250,000 of equipment. Or more.
There it is more gear in such production, than any store in the planet, increible.
Muchas gracias por el trip.
Thank you so much URSA for making this video. I’m new to the industry and this helps introduce a lot of equipments that I’m not familiar with. And big thanks to Stephane Bucher for sharing his incredible set ups.
Hey Thank you Raymond Lo - appreciate your feedback. We hope these videos help newcomers to see behind the veiled curtain!
Very interesting. Thank you.
That case with the bumble bee and ursa wrap. Hmm. I want that case!!!
Even as a dop i get so inspired by their ingenuity and organisation. Keep it up!
Just watching this now and it’s awesome!
Thank you URSA!!! thanks to this video i find out i was already an admirer of their soundtrack ...all the best Stephan and team :)
Thank you Varun, glad it was useful
Wow this setup is amazing. I love the little speakers for producers to save on more receivers. I used the a10 belt caddy on an amazon prime reality show. It was amazing as I could tune into 22 transmitters and check batteries, signal, and adjust artists too. I love watching these videos to see what professional high end productions use and what works best. I use EBL batteries but I'll definitely be looking at the varta batteries. Great stuff URSA for doing all these videos of inside the sound crew.
Thank you James!
Great video, Simon. Hope all is well.
- Cody Peterson
Cheers Cody, all good thanks - waiting for my next mixing job to start! But keeping busy with URSA stuff :)
Love these videos! Thanks Ursa and best wishes to this sound crew.
Thank you OTsuperduper - glad they are useful! Stay tuned for the next video with Stephane - we go through scenes from his films in depth and it's super interesting!
Fascinating! Grateful for this 🎉
Thanks Framewaves - glad it was useful!
Words can't express my gratitude for these informations. Thank you URSA and Team Bucher
Thank you Ling Ling! Glad you enjoy them
Yes, this was eye opening. I've been doing sound work part time for 15 years, indie work and several features. I have worked with a guy with a sound cart, but nothing like this, lol. I have a MixPre 6 with an Orca bag.
Absolutely spectacular sound dept video. I’ve never seen anything like this kind of setup. Just amazing. Thanks for the show and tell.
Thank you Allen! Very kind of you to say so. We were so lucky to be able to catch Stephane before he set out on this shoot. It was a bit touch & we had to scramble to get it done before they packed everything into the trailer ready for Monday. Stay tuned for the next video with Stephane - it dives deep into the way he recorded particular scenes from his films 'Lucy' & 'House of Gucci'
@@URSAStraps Lucy was an astonishing brilliant film so I look forward to the next one. Have not seen Gucci yet.
Awesome, just bloody awesome !!. congrats on another brilliant video.
Hey Mark! Thank you :)
Thanks thanks thanks a lot. This is a pure gold! 👍👍👍
Great insights into pro gear
Epic! Love this series!
Epic sound rig. Love the approach to mic selection
Production Sound Mixers finest content. Thank you.
Hehe Cheers :) it really is content by sound mixers for sound mixers, and thats pretty much it
Love these video’s! I watched almost all of them. Will buy some ursa gear soon. 🤩 Please keep making these video’s. They are so inspiring! Love to see how everyone has a different way of working and collaborating.
Hey Finn, thank you! Do let us know any feedback you have with our products. We are always trying to find new ways to make better.
Love everything about your products. I use it on every sound mixing job. Thank you Ursa Straps.
Ursa gear is good and not expensive at all.
This is such an amazing video. Wow, can you imagine???
Very, very interesting!
Really thank you Ursa for such content
Hey Edgar, no worries. Glad it was useful. Do let us know if there is anything you would like us to cover and maybe we can do a livestream at some point.
4:13 I've scoured the internet for that French version and I cannot for the life of me find one.
I want one so bad, any idea where I can find one?
Never underestimate the value of prep!! Great video. What's in your kit transforms the kind of approach you can take to a project. It's great to see some of the team too!
Thank you Laura!
Amazing content! I need more!
Stay tuned :)
Very good!
Great! Thx!
Thank you Mirel!
I really wish I would have not seen this....I'm so jealous....What a great walk through!
Thank you Gregg!
Dude, none of us will ever have this, unless we move to Hollywood snd get hired as a boom operator.
This is a whole 'nother world... wow!
Great stuff simon! Cheers from belgium
Thanks Luis
great!
Thank you for the video. Fascinated by his preference for cabled booms. I'd love to know how common that is on big budget movies these days.
Hey Stephen, going on a cable boom used to be the norm. But nowadays wireless digital transmitters sound almost as good as a cable but with the benefit of so much freedom. This freedom of movement also helps improve the audio vs fighting against a cable and spending time running the thing out & hiding it all the time. So in answer to your question - its very rare these days to go on a cable boom. But it is THE BEST sound. And Stephane only wants to record the best sound :)
@@URSAStraps Thank you for your reply. Interesting! The majority of jobs I've been on have been with cables but that has been more for budgetary reasons. I was told once upon a time that plug-on transmitters don't give you the same dynamic range as a cable and that the higher end brands (Wisycom, Lectros) would be needed to record dialogue for drama. I'm not sure if things have changed since then. But it's just cool to see the different approaches mixers have.
@@URSAStrapsyet...if you have a bag with a really good recorder, mics, etc, you are totally independent and can use a boom mic,wireless, personal data recorders, etc.
A sound cart does limit you, yes.
@@stephenmolloy4244cables almost never have interference.
I'm curious of his preference of tentacle sync e timecode boxes instead of ambient, is it because of size and weight?
Hello, do you know what boom stand setup that was, the small silver stand with room for 3 booms. Love these videos, thanks!
Also curious!
Stéphane really have a big low voice on this video, what's your miking setup ? (Maybe mic placement too)
Hey Ludovic, Stephan is wearing a DPA 4060 lav mic stuck to his chest with an URSA MiniMount. Placed in the middle of the chest in the area called the solar plexus. He has a great voice and it comes through very nicely on this mic.
@@URSAStraps Thanks a lot and great video. Waiting for the next one 😊
Amazing video, super informative
Thank you Sam! Stephane is great! Stay tuned for the next episode
Hey! I'm probably now on the right side of youtube. If anyone's reading: do you guys reccomend any website, a market for used sound equipment? I've got a mixpre which I would like to sell, but I found it really difficult to do on ebay or local type of listings.
Does anyone nows what kind of lamp he has installed on his cart?
What does a 5-cart Feature Package rent for per day?
idk for a day but the total sound budget should be between 1 to 5 millions $
Thanks @ursa, this is fantastic!
Does somebody know what size the Zarges Euroboxes are in the video?
You see one here in the background and on the right side: czcams.com/video/CJ-AxRY8CuM/video.html
Thanks :-)
I really really love your videos, thanks for your video let me learn lot with film knowledge,I'm Taiwanese,I very want to make film in the USA or UK,If I want to go to USA or UK to do like sound assistant,how should I prepare or do.
