I worked with Rick on my feature film in 2019. I knew the task at hand with our audio post-production would be a huge challenge and Rick never let us down. His knowledge of the audio post-production process was excellent and his guidance in this area was very reassuring.

​

Rick was extremely professional at all times and he is very talented in his field. He helped complete a huge project that would go on to do very well in the film festival circuit, even winning some awards.

In working with Rick it has always been clear that he has the much sought after ability to identify and drill down on and amplify the key creative requirements for any given project. His passion to create great work has always been matched by his ability to work highly collaboratively with us (often in intense and high-pressure, fast turn-around environments)  to and within our timeframes and budgets, meaning the end results have always been far more than satisfactory – in fact his input always adds a layer of value to our existing productions beyond what we would expect and sometimes hope for.

Rick has a very clear, refined creative vision and work ethic but also has very finely honed technical skills and understanding, which always give us the confidence that our assets, media and overall schedule of work are in very good hands – something all producers such as myself, wish for.

Rick Smith was the supervising sound editor on Outlawed, a feature film I directed. He is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable and was able to adapt to the short post-production time frame.

​

During our initial conversations about the sound design for the film he fully understood what was required, his input and creativity gave the film an added dimension and the final result was astounding.

During post-production we ran into technical difficulties but due to his extensive knowledge he problem-solved and was able to overcome them.

Rick also oversaw all ADR recording and in doing so managed a team of students and other young creatives, guiding them through the audio post production process. This mentorship allowed the students the ability to gain experience on a professional production and also network with other filmmakers.

It was a pleasure working with Rick, I hope to collaborate again with him soon.

I have known Rick Smith in a professional capacity for approximately 6 years in which time I have had the good fortune in working with him on multiple film projects. He has undertaken a variety of projects for me and represents a highly talented and competent post-production audio mixer.

​

He has first class technical skills, creative flare in post sound and I would highly recommend Rick and intend to continue working with him on my future projects.

Rick is a sound designer that you work with once and after that first collaboration, you come back to him again and again for his high-end quality sound services.

Reliable, personable and a master of his craft. Rick should be your first port of call for looking for sound post services.

We worked with Rick on several diverse projects from a full documentary film to trailers and a series of short documentaries.

Rick’s work was vital in on multiple occasions. Along side the standard post-production work we needed, which was completed perfectly, he saved a project where the sound had been completely ruined by background noise throughout. What he delivered was brilliant and we were extremely grateful as it avoided what would have been a very costly mistake by our production team.

​

We would highly recommend Rick and his services.

Rick has been great at coming in and providing lecture content and hands-on workshops to our Year 3 degree students on the Audio & Music Technology course. With his knowledge and experience of the industry he has a lot to offer, his sessions have a good deal of industry practice content and the students benefit from his advice.
