Max Lachmann at Pole Position was wonderful to work with on our film, “Above and Beyond” which centers around the birth of the Israeli Airforce. Authenticity was the key as we had an airplane consultant to ensure the accuracy of the recordings. Max had previously recorded a whole workup on the Messerschmidt ME-109 which is an incredibly rare plane with the engine variant needed. We used these recordings as a hero plane in the film. The fidelity was excellent as was the fullness and richness of the recordings. With no background noise to mar the pristine tracks, we were able to feature them throughout the film.

When working on the vehicles of Just Cause 3, I used Pole’s vehicle recordings. They were all of outstanding quality, with microphones placed in the engine and exhaust (multiple positions), interior and even pass-bys are available. Thanks to the multiple tracks, you can mix them to the perspective you desire, were your game a third person, top down or first person. The recordings have both steadies for loop based sounds, and ramps for the granular sound models, both well performed for easy editing. Pole have worked in close cooperation with game developers for years, so their recordings are well suited for games. With over a decade of experience, the Pole team knows how to rig the microphones, and also how to drive and perform the vehicle to get the best recordings. Highly recommended!

Max and his team brought new levels of realism to our game by coming up with innovative ways of capturing the exact live-action sounds we needed for our game. They spent days outside during the freezing cold winter working with athletes and the resort personnel to ensure that they returned with every possible variation of every possible effect. Their dedications simply cannot be matched.
