Chris is such a pleasure to work with! His wealth of knowledge and professionalism coupled with his love for the industry and excitement for the work makes him such lovely colleague. He's consistently and reliably on top of his role, which allows me to focus on other aspects of a shoot and not worry about sound. I'm grateful to have met him early in my career, because he's now my go to sound recordist!

Chris Parkinson is an exceptional sound recordist who I would recommend 1000 times over! On set, he was incredibly professional and personable. He was always on top of his work, and the equipment he provided for our film shoot was of the highest quality. Now that our film is in the editing stage, Chris's thorough organization skills and guidance on syncing audio to our footage has proved invaluable, and saved us countless hours of manually syncing the footage. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Chris is not only a solid worker on set, he’s talented in the dynamic way a Sound Recordist needs to be. He understands how to mic in a way that won’t inhibit the cast whilst getting the most out of the audio. He’s punctual, positive and has great stamina.

Ally Houlli

I worked with Chris on a 48hr film competition shoot. His professionalism was evident right from the off and was a pleasure to work with, a true asset to any set!
