    02Testimonial

    We won our first EMMY on our very first project together two decades ago, and recently had the honour of winning another. Having Eric on set allows me to focus completely on my own work, knowing the audio is in the best possible hands.

    03About

    Location sound for TV, not movie sets.

    I'm Eric Palmcrantz, a sound recordist and engineer for ENG, documentary, factual TV, commercials and brand films.

    Twenty years on location. Heads-of-state interviews, ENG packages turned between flights, expedition docs across Svalbard, Alaska, Japan, Malaysia, Brazil and Europe. Clean audio on schedule, in conditions where there is no second take.

    One person, one kit footprint, edit-ready tracks delivered before your editor sits down.

    Based in Stockholm, available internationally. Shooting here? I speak Swedish with contributors, venue staff and drivers, and work smoothly alongside your fixer.

    07FAQ

    Before you email.

    Yes. Based in Stockholm, I regularly work across Scandinavia, Europe and worldwide for international productions. EU/EEA travel is straightforward; visa support letters available for further-afield jobs.

    Fluent English and native Swedish. I handle conversations with Swedish contributors and venue staff on the day, and work alongside your fixer on releases and permissions.

    ENG / news, documentary, factual TV, branded content, commercials and feature interviews. One-person sound department and TV sound engineer. I don't crew on feature films or two-person boom-plus-mixer setups.

    Yes. Full broadcast-grade location package: mixer/recorder, wireless lavaliers, boom, comms and IFB. Backup on every critical link. Full list in the Gear section.

    Same-day for ENG / news inside Sweden when I'm free. For documentary and commercial work, the earlier the better — but last-minute is often workable. WhatsApp is fastest inside 48h.
