I had the pleasure to work with Bonfire Labs and Velvy Appleton on this project. I Mixed all of the Behind the Scenes footage for this ground breaking even in Cinema history. Getting to see this camera at work while they shot the short film "Life" was amazing.
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.
Menlo House
Menlo House is a creative Horror-esque short directed by Corsica Wilson and Juliana Morgan. I was given a blank slate for audio and recreated all of the sound. All of the Dialog was ADR recorded in my Los Angeles apartment to make it feel as if it was recorded on set. Finding sounds for all of the different happenings in the film made for some fun creation and manipulation of effects to make viewers feel in the moment.
28 Callbacks Later
28 callbacks later is a short film directed by Drew Curtis. its just your basic Zombie film, with actors as the Zombies and Casting Agents as the survivors.
Couch Survivor
Couch Survivor is a feature film Directed by Jonny Walls. Being a feature it took a lot of time and energy buy was well worth the time. I enjoyed the experience to collaborate on a project this big. From this i learned the importance that backgrounds play in telling a story, with out them the film seems flat and unrealistic.
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.
Hope Bridge
Hope Bridge is a feature film directed by Joshua Overbay in conjunction with Rebel Pilgrum. I was in charge of the field recordings of all of the vehicles in the film. I rigged a Jeep Cherokee, Subaru Outback, and a Mercury Cougar with microphones to capture all of the sounds that cars make.

Sochi Winter Olympic Games
Apart from my normal work, I got the privilege of working at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games. I was assigned to Olympic Stadium and Medals Plaza as an Audio Assistant. My job was to assist in setting up microphones in and around the venues so they could pick up various sounds that add to the environment or pick up specific effects of the ceremonies.
Le Spark
As the fourth animation I have done with Winck Studios, I enjoyed figuring out how to create the sound of bugs. They are not as simple as you might think! Unlike working with humans, fireflies and crickets have a complex exoskeleton. We used many different things to emulate what they would be like. Surprisingly, for the purposes of the film, I used a lot of effects that are made to be used in horror films. The unexpected nature of this short made it especially fun to cut.
The Picnic
By Director Daniel Bowman, The Picnic features a father that tries to reconnect with his daughter after a lifetime apart. A nice thing about this film was there was the opportunity to use sound in several different capacities from the abstract beginning to the realistic center to the impressionistic end. I enjoyed everything from the location sound to the final mix.

I recorded every sound effect that was in this film.
