    2018/19 Video Production ShowreelOver the course of the past year I've been thrown into the world of video production, what used to be doing sound recording and editing has quickly turned into videography and social media video and I wouldn't change a thing. This is a showcase of some of the work I've produced since September 2018.

    Audio ProductionUniversity of Lincoln
     - Lincoln, United Kingdom
    This course taught me how to think critically about sound and how as humans we interact with it, talk about it and build our culture around it. It also taught me practically how to record and edit sound to a high calibre. Using professional grade tools both in and out of a studio setting to create sound that can be used for a range of purposes. Here are some examples of what I've learnt: -Sound recording and design for branding purposes. -Radio production (end-to-end) -Location sound recording on film sets. -Dialogue replacement within films. Including running commentary/ADR sessions with actors. -Foley Recording -Mixing and editing sound for video.
