It was one of those jobs where I was called the night before to sound mix for a one day shoot. I didn't know anything about what the project was. It took place on a golf course and one of the guys was a PGA golfer. I dont follow sports. I dont know who it was. The other guy was the owner of a golf apparel company. It was the kind of video where the expert was showing how to do certain tasks while wearing certain apparel. . The golf course was quiet which any sound guy on location will tell you is rare. I ran a lav on each and a boom for both. I also recorded wild sound of the the golf strokes.

Production sound mixer. Responsible for all sound recorded on location for the project. I recorded wild sound of a fight sequence for the purpose of audio post. In addition to all of the production sound I recorded the main characters foot steps and movements via wild sound for post purposes

Sound recordist for various firearms. Setting up various microphones to record different caliber guns fire. Recording gun sounds such as the bolt action,magazine release, magazine lock, handling noise etc. Initially the gunman was going to have monologue explaining each weapon but the producer decided to go with a vo artist instead.

Sound mixer for production audio and dialogue editing for the commercial

Re-syncing the the audio to the video of the Georgia Florida line performance. There was not time code correlation between the cam op and the f.o.h. recorded in 44.1khz resulting in audio sync drift. The edit method I used resulted in a proper syncing of the audio and video. This performance was never released because of money. I have the session and proof to show my work.

Sound MIxer. This was a disaster of a shoot. The director was a moron extortionist and I saved a red camera from falling. Not something I care to embellish. I did learn a few things about the industry with this shoot. I do not want to mention names but it was one show pitch to HBO among 20+ other show pitches. We did not get picked up.

Sound mixer for a internet Pilot. The pilot was aimed at go pro cameras to show them you could shoot scripted material with a go pro. I had two additional colleagues work on the sound as a boom op and utility. For whatever reason My imdb states location sound supervisor. My real role was sound mixer.

Recording FPS Russia videos for "Hitman", "Farcry3" and "FPS almost Dies". This was challenging because I had to mix between monologue, gunshots and explosions. The last video called "FPS almost dies" The explosion ruined the mixer I was using at the time. SPL is a hell of a thing and this project was a challenge because of the huge difference between voice and explosion. below are the links https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9SalJ-ohls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8-azG3Iokk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0zdRHTQUeU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx4N3pAp6lc
