In my second year at university, I was able to expand my knowledge on sound to not just live entertainment but filmed productions as well. I am grateful to have had the expeirence working as a boom operator,field mixer, both [which I will refer to as live recording] and editing. I can state that I love it just as much as working on live shows and look forward to more opprotunities where I can work in film.
I have now gotten the chance to work on several student led films, below you will find my list of work as well as some videos & photos I've been able to gather from sets.
