While I was attending The Art Institute of Seattle I worked on an Audio Post piece for my portfolio. I had to take a one-minute clip from a movie of my choice and completely recreate all the sounds that happened in that clip. It was a very challenging project to work on. I had to record, edit, place, and mix all of the dialogue, and sound effects for the clip as well as obtain and place the music. The requirements were that the clip had to have dialogue, music, and at least three sound effects. Over all the project turned out pretty well....

I drop my boy off at school and hitch a ride on the good ol Metro bus downtown to Seattle. About an hour.
