I did re-recording mixing for a student thesis film set in Medieval times featuring a wizard, a capable princess, and a knight in distress.

I did re-recording mixing on a student thesis film, set in a hyper-realistic and somewhat fantastical high school environment. The project allowed me to really experiment with reverbs and delays in my dialogue chain, as well as with reverb-reduction plug-ins.

I did production and post-production sound for a student thesis film. I used the Ithaca College Jazz Ensemble to record the original score for the film. The film was the first at Ithaca College to screen in 5.1 surround sound at the Senior Thesis screenings.

I sat in on mixes with staff mixers Jared Seidman and Paul Furedi, as well as with mixers Peter Waggoner and Martin Czembor. In addition to sitting in on mixes, I was given the opportunity to use Studio B to mix my own projects during the 3 months I was there.

I was the boom operator for 10 days on a student thesis film which shot on a Panivision RED in Utica, NY. This was the first senior thesis to shoot on a RED. I also did sound design on this film, and recorded an original score with local string musicians.

I did re-recording mixing for a student documentary about children with severe communication handicaps.

I did sound design for a student horror film, and gained experience with punches, kicks, knife sounds, and also meta-physical sound design to provoke feelings of fear.

As well as being an associate producer, I did location sound and sound design for this Ithaca College television show. The show won 5 awards at IC, including Best New Show and Best Field Show, and it was a runner-up for the CBI award for Best Comedy in 2012.
