Post Sound Editing and Mixing
I specialize and particularly enjoy working on Indy films. I have experience with a vast range of projects and budgets. In addition to Indy narratives I have a great deal of experience with long form documentary specifically for television broadcast or theatrical release. I provide all required audio delivery elements, Full Mix, (fully filled) M&E, DME, Split Stems in 5.1, standard stereo or whatever your delivery contract specifies.
Production Sound Clean Up
Do you have a poorly recorded interview due to limited means at your location or a distorted line of dialogue that you can not get the actor back in time to ADR for your deadline. Amazing results can be achieved with the right tools and the right methods.
"Wow! I can't believe how much you were able to clean up the audio. It sounds 100% better than it did!" - Justin Miller, Indy filmmaker.
"The sample sounds great! I really appreciate your time - it's a big relief to know that the audio is usable!" - Evan Vetter, documentary filmmaker.
Music Preparation for Playback
Do you need your music pulled up because you are shooting True 24 and posting NTSC or do you simply need your music track prepared with Timecode or just count off clicks to cue the musicians. I can prepare your music correctly and quickly.
ADR VO and Foley
I utilize the best local recording space North Star Sound for ADR/VO and Foley.
Custom Sound Effects Recording
I started recording my own sound effects in the fall 2001 in New York by putting a stereo microphone out the window to get a wonderful sounding cricket on my front porch. Soon after I purchased very high quality portable gear and started gathering sounds everywhere.
Supervising Sound Editorial
I specialize in Indy films with a vast range of budgets. Short and feature length projects are my forte.
Sound Design
The title of Sound Designer is often used in place of Sound Editor, Sound Mixer and sometimes Supervising Sound Editor. With that said, I prefer to use the term Sound Design to describe the personal style of each sound engineer who is responsible for most if not all of the post audio work for a particular project. My personal interest, taste and style, is for realistic and naturalistic sounds. That is why I am always out recording new ambiences and sound effects, and when time permits, fresh sound effects for each independent film I post.
Sound Advice
By now I have a solid core of repeat clients who contact me in pre-production and I can start forming sound ideas and recording sounds based on their script. Sound is art and it is best when it is nurtured as part of the film process from the start. The business reality, which is perfectly acceptable and very much the norm is not formed around this ideal and most of my sound design work begins after picture lock. While the majority of independent films are made this way I can say that all of the successful filmmakers I work with do consider and act on the importance of sound from the beginning. I do encourage filmmakers to contact me as soon as they can in the process.
