40 PRODUCTION SOUND & VIDEO – Summer 2023 We have twio VOG systems. PTT mics were made available to the 1st AD and Deborah. We also provided comms for all our helmet wearing actors and BG artists, prosthetic wearing aliens, and their puppeteers. They could get a combination or individual feeds of AD's, director, music, sound FX, or program sound. I used Avid Pro Tools and Ableton Live for editing, sound design, FX, and music playback. I know this is not the kit list you wanted but none of this would have worked if it wasn't for the amazing people I had the honor to work alongside and learn from every day. Yisel is originally from Cuba and moved to Los Angeles five years ago to pursue the dream of working on major motion pictures and TV shows that would allow her to work with sound mixers, actors, and directors that she admired. After her graduation from the International School of Film and Television, where she specialized in production and post- production sound, she headed to Barcelona to work in significant post-production houses for nearly four years. There she gained experience as a Sound Designer, Foley Recording Engineer, and Dialog Editor; a knowledge that serves her today to be a much better Sound Technician on set. Chris Burr, born and raised in northeast Mississippi, in a small town called Columbus, just outside of Tupelo, moved to Los Angeles in 2020, right before the pandemic in the hopes of starting a career in the industry. He grew up as an only child, with his imagination and creativity running deep. He believes that if you dream it—and put in the work—you can achieve anything. Chris's first sound job was the feature film Dog, and he hopes to continue this journey and keep encouraging others along the way. Yohannes came into motion picture sound from a background in music production. Additionally, he worked as a Production Assistant and stand-in for many years, giving him an insider's view of the collaborative nature of filmmaking. Over the last year, he has worked primarily as a Boom Operator, and three years prior honing his craft as a Sound Utility. He is currently working as a Boom Operator on a TV show and appreciates the unique set of challenges that come with the position. He really enjoys the energy of being right on set, working with camera, grips, and electric to solve problems and get the job done. Going forward, he would love to continue working as a Boom Operator for movies and TV shows. Ben Greaves is my closest friend, ally, and confidant. Ben came to the US the same time I did, however, we didn't know each other at that time. Ben started his audio journey as a child, accompanying his father to the Manor Studios. He would play among the cables and mixing desks while his dad was recording his latest album. Ben started his film career working with UK mixers, including Simon Hayes and Jamie Gambell, soaking up everything he could. He is dedicated to great sound and one of the best. Creative, collaborative, and concise. Me? Well, I'm having a hoot and absolutely love what I do. I listen with my heart and my ears and sincerely hope I can continue to do so for many years to come.
