Sound Perspective

FB_IMG_1521011180621

 My primary focus is to support and enhance story.

Sound is used to describe and inform emotions, environments, and situations. In addition to Clear words, the Natural Sound and Designed Sonic World help viewers feel and interpret the reality and weight of story.

Capturing every “moment” is key and while technical on the surface, the task really boils down to communication, people skills and storytelling.

I pursue collaborative relationships throughout the entire creation process; Pre-production planning to Post-production Delivery. This allows the team to concentrate on Beats and Emotional goals, the “Magic”; including Story Arcs, Development and Documentary Objectives, Entertainment Value and Safety.

My experience and functional understanding in Production and Post-production give me an advantage both artistically and technically. I’ve supervised more than 400 films and have worked as Communications Media professor for 14 years. I’ve developed classes in Production Sound, Post-production Sound and Business for Creatives.

I believe in paying it forward and welcome the opportunity to work with Students and new Creatives. I also speak Production and Post-latin!
