Audio Engineer
I assist in the recording / editing / mixing of sound for video games and commercials.
Throughout the day I talk to video editors, producers and directors to see exactly what we need to accomplish and also try to prepare for upcoming projects. Depending on the project, I'm either pulling sound effects, recording voice overs or assisting in the overall audio mix. When everyone is working together, the stresses of meeting deadlines goes away and a day at work starts to seem more like a day with friends... thats what a great day looks like.
