Two day, multi-location shoot. When you record dialogue under a working train line, all it takes is a great production team to work through the takes to get the one that shines.

Even if talent is mostly naked, and the shot is wide to show off the incredible art and costuming work, a great production team will give the sound mixer time and space to place those lav mics just right. Sometimes, you have to mic a candle nearest the talent wearing only underwear.

For this spot, our crew revisited the same habitat during all four seasons to document amphibian re-habitation by groups of volunteers organized by the Shedd Aquarium and Forest Preserves of Cook County. We shot in the freezing cold, rain, and mosquito-heavy summer heat. A true test for my field gear!

This short was submitted to the 48 Hour Film Project and won in Chicago. It screens in Paris, competing for best in the world in March 2018. It was fast, fun, and challenging to record location sound for. I also did a quick post-mix within an hour of the submission deadline.

It's always interesting to see how a sentence-splitting spot will turn out. This one is quick and impactful! I called "hold for sound" many times on this shoot, because of the working jackhammer a floor above. Everyone stayed patient and the spot turned out great.

Velvet

Role: Sound Mixer

When Demetra, a competitive professional, is forced to reevaluate her social life, she strikes up a friendship with Cymone, her seemingly much cooler coworker. As their worlds collide to form a brand new #squad, these five young Chicagoans begin to reevaluate their own identities as well as their relationships to each other. By weaving together public and private experiences, VELVET comedically explores the joys, vulnerabilities, and everything-in-between of making new friends in your mid-twenties.
