One of the coolest projects I’ve gotten to be involved with - my friends at Sockeye here in Portland did an amazing job on this collection of broadcast and web commercial films and in the end, I got to mix and sound design over 20 of them as well as a Cannes festival entry summing them up. The campaign ended up winning industry awards, was referred to by Forbes as “a blueprint for authentic representation”, and gave me a first - watching TV in New Jersey with my in-laws and having a commercial I mixed and sound designed come on. Here are a few of them.

A PDX-based agency was working with Quibi (R.I.P.) a couple years ago on some of their original content, and I got to do a bunch of Punk’d reboot trailer and teaser mixes. I was only provided with the music and the dialogue clips - I added all sound design and environmental foley and did the final mix for multiple delivery formats.

A couple examples from a fun campaign I worked on for Nike. The challenge here was to create a sound fx bed that matched what we see on screen but also felt very ambient and stretched out to fit with the fact that a lot of the footage is slowed down.

I love this type of parody/homage project - the only direction here was “make it sound like Ken Burns’ ‘The Civil War’”. Shout out to Juliet Zulu and the great actors involved in making this hilarious.

A fun foley/environmental sound gig - I added all the sounds and did the final mix in multiple delivery formats

This travel/reality series was a blast to work on - it's always fun to have a pretty even mix between placing selective foley/environmental sounds and creative cinematic sound design elements, and the wide range of location and voiceover recording quality makes the editing and sweetening of the dialogue an interesting challenge.

Over the last 5 or 6 years, I’ve worked with my friends at Mew Studios to create commercials, animated explainers, and business advice films featuring famous entrepreneurs for Amazon - I’ve lost count at this point, but I believe I’ve worked on over 100 videos for them. Here are a few examples - in all cases, I did sound effects, dialouge/VO sweetening, and final mix, and in some cases I was also the composer.

I've done sound effects and mixes for tons of these animated explainer videos over the years.  I've just posted a handful here, but if you want a wider sampling of my work on the cartoony sfx end of the spectrum, I'd be happy to send you more examples.

This was a quick-turnaround project that really expanded my sound design vocabulary and also nourished my classic-horror-buff soul. I did all the sound design, foley, mixing, music editing and sweetening for this short zombie-comedy (zomcom?) film, and ended up getting to see it screened at a theater here in town.
