Two layers of some recent Foley work.
The task was to create the sound of a mouse scampering around in a glass jar. These two videos are performances of separate layers I had in mind-- tapping a glass jar with a light wooden stir stick to represent claws against the glass…
…and manipulation of a paper towel for fur movement.
Completely absurd at full volume, but useful when mixed in right on the verge of perception.

I was honored to edit music and VO, design sound and mix for the video component of The One Forum conference in 2019— hosted by Be The Match, a non-profit organization operated by the National Marrow Donor Program and dedicated to helping patients obtain life-saving transplants.
The video below, narrated by LeVar Burton, launched Day 2 of the conference.
I’m really happy with the mix on the above video, and I think it’s a lovely piece overall, so I thought I’d share it first. But he Day One kickoff video below, also voiced by LeVarBurton, definitely has more sound design treats:
From what I hear the videos were well-received, and the conference was a smashing success. Grateful to have been a part of it.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I teamed up with the good people at Squawk Productions to create this spooktacular greeting, dedicated to all you creatives out there who feel the pressure of… The Deadline. Custom music, sound edit, mix, and even voiceover performance (as well as the voices of the laughing ghouls, and the hissing snake) by Mike Hallenbeck at Junior Birdman Audio.
“Deadline” was born when I had lunch with animator Sam Thompson (half of Squawk) who I’d recently collaborated with on a project, but never met. The conversation turned to our common love of horror movies, and we decided it’d be fun to work together on something spooky sometime. We decided to do a Halloween-themed greeting aimed at our fellow creatives. Sam thought it’d be fun to equate the pressure of work-related anxiety with the scariness of Halloween, and “Deadline” was born.
Enjoy!
