AUDIO, SOUND DESIGN, VIDEO & CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO

Internship supporting audio production and sound design for the online RPG Pirates of the Burning Sea.

Role: Audio engineer / assistant sound designer intern
Work included: Voice recording, asset editing/export, combat-animation sound design, proprietary audio-engine implementation
Demonstrates: Game-audio production, implementation workflows, dialog recording, sound design for gameplay context

Created a commonly used “movie code” A/V mod incorporating original Jurassic Park (1993) film dialog, soundtrack music, and video clips. Edited and organized thousands of dialog lines and hundreds of clips, making replacement decisions based on gameplay context, timing, tone, and community feedback.

Contracted by The Art of Pinball to create an installation video for their Sculpted T-Rex mod for Stern’s Jurassic Park pinball machine. Recorded the full installation process, organized the steps into a clear instructional sequence, and produced the complete video with graphics, animation, transitions, and editing. The backing music is an instrumental version of my original song “Jurassick Dark,” which I also placed and mixed into the video.

Role: Video producer, editor, instructional content creator, music producer
Work included: Step-by-step filming, visual callouts, graphics, animation, transitions, sequencing, original instrumental music placement, and final video production
Demonstrates: Technical communication, product documentation, visual editing, audio/music integration, and support-focused content for an enthusiast hardware product

An animated short entitled, “The Little Fella.” It involves a small chihuahua in a sterile environment, remaining in a relatively stationary position. He performs many different actions (such as scratching himself, making quaint vocalizations, shaking his head around, smiling, etc.). His movements have an innate rhythmic quality. In order to achieve proper sequencing, I used Pro Tools as both a MIDI sequencer and a DAE interface to lock each sound to a specific tempo. Propellerheads Reason instruments were used in conjunction with Pro Tools as a ReWire Instrument to create the underlying drum beat as well as trigger samples of recorded sound effects using a MIDI synchronization between the two programs.

Recorded, mixed, and mastered as a full-band studio production project. I handled the recording setup, microphone placement, signal flow, session management, editing, mixing, and final master, balancing live performance energy with a polished final mix. The project demonstrates multitrack recording, studio workflow, audio troubleshooting, mix decisions, and technical production from tracking through delivery.
