In the last 2 years I have been a sound recordist and boom operator. I have worked on Screen Ireland films and many passion and local government funded projects in Ireland and Russia. For the past year I have been working as a freelancer in sound recording and getting experience within the industry and some smaller projects with recently graduated film students.

Working as sound recordist and mixer for “Spots” I was responsible for the audio storytelling of the film. I captured clean voices of the actors, recorded additional foley and did the final mix. It was interesting to work on all the stages of this film and see how sound can enhance the narrative of this project in particular. The story tells us about an insecure teenage girl in the cruel world of popular girls in school. What starts as a cry for help turns into rage as she stands up for herself in an unpredictable way.

In my next jobs I hope to focus more on recording sound for bigger projects and apply all that I’ve learned in my last three years of studies.
