 I’m pleased to announce that the feature film ‘Amy George’ which was filmed last year has been accepted into the Canada First! programme at the Toronto International Film Festival this year. I had the pleasure of working with Calvin Thomas and Yonah Lewis on this film. My congrats to all of the cast and crew on a job well done. You can visit www.amygeorgemovie.com for more information. My apologies for the lack of updates as its been quite busy! I’m accepting jobs for a couple of days in May, and most of June. Please contact me for availability. As a production sound mixer, we always encounter those pesky sounds lurking around in the background. Let me be honest, these sounds not only wreak havoc with our sound tracks, but they can be a total pain in the neck to deal with! Here are my top five most annoying location sounds in no particular order: Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best! We’re open for bookings, please contact for more information.
I’m now carrying a Denecke TS-3EL timecode slate for use on productions. Please contact me for rates for use with your production. I’ve recently finished work on an indie feature called, “The Collapsed.” Check out the website here: The Collapsed I just wanted to plug Maha Energy, maker of Powerex chargers and batteries. Powerex AA batteries are widely used by sound mixers and people alike. Many of us like to use them in our wireless systems. I’m a Powerex AA battery user. I actually own 25 of these batteries and their top-of-the-line MH-C9000 charger. I’ve been using these for about a year now, and everything had been working out great until my charger died. I contacted Maha and within hours I had a shipment tracking email for a replacement charger in my inbox! Thanks to their warranty and their great customer service, I was back in the field using my rechargeable AA batteries in no time. Thanks Maha Energy / Powerex! This was a post on Craigslist that was later passed on through the sound community. Myth #1. Sound is less important than your picture. Most new people to the production biz always think this is the case, and it has actually been proven to be the opposite by several focus group studies by major studios and smaller acoustic societies. With the dawn of Youtube and similar outlets our public have become conditioned to accept shaky cameras, grungy looks, and bad lighting as shooting style, which isactually great news for a new shooter with little experience. However, audiences will sub-consciously or consciously lose interest in the material, change what they are viewing, or completely turn off what they are viewing within 30 seconds of being subject to bad sound. What makes up bad sound? Bad sound includes poorly EQ’d voices, a high noise-to-signal ratio (from too much background noise and/or electronic noise captured with the voice signal), and non-continuous sound (sound quality changing often) so as to make it difficult to edit, to name a few.
