His craft

Position & Method

Quiet holds

Bastion defends the site nobody spotlights — and keeps it. Off-angles, noise control and utility banked for the retake, never the montage.

Retake command

After the plant, the microphone belongs to him. Numbered spots, synchronised utility, plus one house rule: trade every duel, never face alone.

Each academy anchor spends an hour weekly with Bastion. Positioning demos, homework reviews and straight feedback whenever asked.
