One of my finals from my audio post-production classes, we were assigned a short scene from Wall-E, and got to create and edit all out own audio. I was able to record any ADR, SFX, or foley that felt necessary, then edit them all and create a well-fitting mix.
One of my final projects in my time at SCC, and one of my personal favorites. I chose a scene from Pirates of the Caribbean, and again, was able to create and edit all the audio needed for the scene, as well as do a terrible voice actor for Jack Sparrow.
A similar project, we were given the recorded vocals and the video, then I was able to design and edit the rest of the sound in a way that was suited for commercial use.
Upside Down - Jack Johnson
In my time at SCC, I had the opportunity to work with my fellow classmates on a variety of projects. For this cover of Upside Down I helped with all of the recording, editing, processing, and mixing.
Indigenous Culture + Peyote
I have gotten to work with audio in many different formats. Including a podcast-like interview I did with a friend talking about their Indigenous culture and its connection with Peyote. I did all of the recording, editing and mixing.
Pins & Needles
I worked with a group to record the drums on this track, which another group used to record the guitar and bass over. I then was able to mix and master the whole track.
Believer - Barnstar!
While I did not record this track, I wanted to improve my mixing skills. I was able to get the raw multi-tracks, which I then was able to mix and master the whole track.
While not a founding member of SilverVoid, I joined as the drummer early in it's life. I had the opportunity to help write our debut single, The Hunt.
