Some of my clients are wondering if today's new SAG-AFTRA strike affects us. Quick answer: We're still good to work on most projects! The strike impacts certain video games ONLY. We can keep working on all other projects, including commercials, corporate/educational content, audiobooks, other video games, and more. If you have any questions, let me know!

Henson = puppetry magic! Drew (in the orange hat) is puppeteering full facial performance and lip sync in real time while Misty (on the mocap stage) performs the body. Our proprietary software + virtual camera + #unreal game engine brings it all together so that we can perform & shoot CG as if it were live action. Thanks #ves for coming and checking out our #virtualproduction puppetry.

Today’s #Transferableskills from the #television and #film world are dedicated to the CASTING PRODUCER! To all those who #hire; if you are reading #castingproducer on a resume, be lucky. You have just inherited a special set of skills. Inspired by convos with some of the greats in casting Alex Shaw and Felicia Dewall A Casting Producer is but not limited to… A supreme people person and elite people finder. A big idea thinker who becomes the backbone of all the memorable characters and storylines that make it to your screen. Often just given a pitch deck, a tight schedule, and a dream, these are “pound the pavement” people with stellar sales techniques, world class social skills and another gear for digging in and “finding the gold.” Do you need a researcher? Casting Producers do the most. Do you need a well-rounded producer for your growing socials or to help a budding talent/product brand? They have the eye and the energy.  A successful casting producer is producing from day one and can elevate your vision from the start. They handle stress better than anyone because they are relied on to find so much. They are resilient. They can be blamed for a show’s downfall (“Oh we just couldn’t cast it right”) and often miss well deserved praise when your favorite characters (found by them) become huge stars. Adaptable. Works odd hours. Rolls with the punches and moves with the tides. Today’s housewife on a journey for love, can be tomorrow’s influencer rehabbing a house. No sweat, they'll get the housewife to marry the influencer. Savvy, smart, great with outreach and getting to the people. Talk about a marketing whiz! A Casting Producer is responsible for finding and planting the seeds that become a shows brand and marketing potential. And here’s a tip for anyone in #development; If you are in the business of creating original content, team up on ideas with a casting producer you’d like to work with. The well of talent and existing relationships to any all worlds is underused and undervalued. I could go on but that’s what you are for. Keep the skills going in the comments and let’s hype up some casting producers and let ‘em know! #content #marketing #branded #socialcontent #indie #filmmakers #opentowork

Enjoyed managing and making sounds on a few commercials for Rebet, Inc.'s current launch campaign! 🏅 Super proud of the whole production team for putting this together so well. A special shoutout to Declan Kyle, the director and my team @ Sonic Psychos my assistant JF, and mastering engineer Jaden Caban for making this job run much smoother. These commercials will definitely be at the top of my portfolio! 😎 I spent a lot more time in the planning phase than I usually would for a project like this because I really wanted to home in the best soundscape opportunities based on the viewers' and potential users' preferences. I learned that this kind of design practice is really important, especially for content from companies that are launching. In the audio world, oftentimes like the VFX world, really good work can be overlooked, felt rather than observed... but bad design can leave a bad taste in the audience's mouth. You can enjoy the rest of the commercials and check out the innovative team at Rebet, Inc. on their socials! #sounddesigner #postaudio #sounddesign #sportsbetting #sonicbranding #creativity #design #branding #socialmedia #contentmarketing

More proof that you do not need a car while working in #NYC during the summer months. Even if it's a luxury car "with a few miles on it"... . . . . . #advertising #videogames #animation #marketing #voiceacting #voiceovers #commercials #gaming #characteranimation #voiceoverauditions #animationproduction #animationstudio #voiceover
