DUAL: SOUND EDIT, FOLEY + MIX FOR SHORT HORROR FILM
“A child psychologist attempts a breakthrough with a troubled little boy, unleashing the demonic fury of his ‘imaginary friends’ in the process.” Justin Staggs’ unnerving short recalls 70s and 80s genre classics like “The Omen” and the work of John Carpenter. I provided sound edit and mix on the project, including a variety of subtle Foley to fill in the gaps.
Here’s the trailer for “Dual” (though to be clear, I didn’t work on the trailer):
More sound edit and mix for film

SOUND EDIT + MIX FOR MEDICAL ANIMATION: iTRACK, ELLEX MEDICAL
Sound edit and mix on a promo featuring med tech by Ellex Medical for glaucoma surgery. The client wanted VO way out front, FX and music low-key and understated. Many sonic events hover on the horizon line at the verge of perception: an enjoyable challenge to balance all the elements.
More work by Junior Birdman Audio for medical animation
More work by Junior Birdman Audio for corporate video

ASTRORITE: GAME AUDIO FOR METROIDVANIA PLATFORMER
Highlight reel of sound effects I created for Astrorite, a platformer by Giorgios Lagoudakis. The creative brief was to assemble a Metroidvania experience, eschewing contemporary aesthetics for a retro approach. In keeping with the throwback aesthetic, all sounds I contributed to the game were created using source audio from a single analog synth.
More sound design and music for games
