CARNE y ARENA

Alejandro G. Iñárritu

CARNE y ARENA is the first VR project ever to be selected for the Cannes Film Festival.

A few months back I had the opportunity to work on my first VR project. It was really exciting to Get a call form the sound mixer Colin Hart asking if I would be interested in Utilizing for him on a shoot that was going to be mixed at Skywalker Sound. To Sweeten the deal I found out that Randy Thom (Mixer on Starwars, Indiana Jones, The Revenant, Etc.), Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Director of Birdman, The Revenant) and Emmanuel Lubezki (DP of Birdman, The Revenant) were all going to be on set as well. 

We had a major setup that included 2 Sound Devices 688s, a sound device 702, 2 Booms, and 18 Lectrosonics lavs to make this shoot happen. 

What Is Motherhood?

This was a really fun projected directed by Justin Baldoni for mothers day this past year. I recorded 30-40 moms and their kids saying what motherhood ment to them. I dont know if I will ever have to put as many "Fluffy" microphones on more kids in one day. Great learning experience with quick turnarounds!

The Gospel

The Gospel is a social commentary short film that I did the sound for, from production to post. In this film I got to dive into the emotions of the characters by playing with breathing and reverbs. The slow motion scenes in the film allowed for fun environment to experiment with different sound design techniques.

Wolf at the Door

"Wolf at the Door" is a short directed by Blair Cosby, that I did the location and post sound on. It gives the perspective of a young boy whose mother, a prostitute, puts him in the closet when her pimp comes over. The majority of the action happens on the other side of a closed door. Not only did I have the foley of what you saw on screen but had to give the illusion of what was not. This gave me the freedom to use the imagination of the viewers to paint a picture of the horrors that the mother was truly going through.
