I recently acquired the Pro Sound Effects Hybrid Library and it’s been great wading through it. Look forward to implementing it on sound design stuff in 2015. Peep it here: http://www.prosoundeffects.com/hybrid

Dakota
Back to my beloved West Texas to shoot a short with friends called ‘Dakota’. It’s a slice of a larger project called ‘Trans-Pecos’. Cold and windy windy windy.
Beer Mile
The Beer Mile took place out at Circuit of the Americas and it’s a four-lap race where participants must chug an entire 12oz beer at the start of each lap. As you can imagine, there was puking galore. I haven’t been this artistically fulfilled since I was filming a Capybara take a dump in a bowl of water years back.
Jump Shot
Spent a REALLY cold few days in Laramie, WY, getting more interviews for the doc currently titled Jump Shot. It’s about the life of Kenny Sailors, a 94 year old man who is credited by some as the inventor of the jump shot in modern basketball. He has a life resume that reads like a Dos Equis spot. It was -18 at one point.
TXTag
A candy apple red convertible and bilingual Santas made for a rowdy couple of days. Was happy to have Mike Swanner along for the ride. Got to use my new 8050 as a plant mic in a couple of interesting ways. Really happy with how it sounds, as I had heard it was a little tubby.
Lazer Team
Boom op’d the first couple weeks of production on this largely crowdfunded adventure by Rooster Teeth. Going to be a lot of eye-candy in this ambitious sci-fi comedy. Pic is of me battling the BTS guy. Also I made it in one of the BTS vids: http://roosterteeth.com/episode/lazer-team-lazer-team-lazer-team-behind-the-scenes-episode-4
Dealt in Sweden
Dealt in Sweden
Finally learned that there are nerds all over the globe, even in Sweden. Covered Richard at a magic convention in Lund, Sweden. A little college town. Showed Richard performing, at the trade show, and even doing a workshop with a few fortunate aspiring card mechanics. Got to have lunch in a castle on my birthday!
Mules and Pools
Did a five-day campaign for Smirnoff, which had just barely enough dialog to justify me being there, mostly I got to play DJ for playback during party scenes. Great group, would love to work in that config all the time.
Utah Alcohol Dealy
Made three spots over two days, directed by Scott Rice. Still looking forward to seeing them, as one has a human-sized bobblehead and another spot has giant spiders.
This was the first gig I got to use my new PSC Solice Mini mixer with.
Make it Rain
Spent a few days on an X-Men fan fiction short in a ginormous warehouse out off of 130. Was sweating the acoustics but I think we captured some usable stuff. Lots of stunts and VFX will be in this.
