How does sound influence the perception of a video?
Sounds allows the viewer to feel or imagine what they can or can’t see on picture. Even the most realistic imagery can feel otherworldly with the right soundscape. I personally love spotting sonic cues used as devices to elevate the narrative and storytelling.
Is loud always good?
Depends on the spec sheet! Loud can be good, but balance is preferred.
The key part of any sound track is?
Tension and release!
Which advert do you wish you had done?
I would’ve loved to be present on the set for Apple’s HomePod directed by Spike Jonze starring FKA Twigs. It’s pretty mind blowing. That, or the 2001 Guinness campaign with Lee Scratch Perry.
Who do you respect the most in the industry and why?
VFX artists. They have to edit incredibly intricate shots frame by frame, pixel by pixel, and work out lengthy renders under pressure.
Most notable studio moment
Last semester in college. Got to conduct an orchestra recording a composition of mine from a massive live room in a gorgeous studio. Quite a unique feeling.
What’s your secret talent?
I can do a pretty solid Shakira impersonation…. If that counts as a talent.
