EXPERTISE


My core competency is Dialogue Editing, Sound Design, Re-Recording Mixing.
Most of my projects are fiction and documentaries where ADR is not an option.
I also gathered and managed teams of up to 10 sound professionals as a Supervising Sound Editor.

I am familiar with the entire video and film production workflow, from script writing to color grading and DCP creation.
Being able to work under tight budgets and deadlines, I always aim to fulfill the producer’s and director’s vision with the latest industry technologies and methods.

Additionally, I work with Spatial Audio formats for 360-degree video and VR.

GEAR


I now work in a mobile setup with calibrated Neumann KH-120A monitors, an RME BabyFace Pro FS.  Also I have a pair or Genelec 8010A, a couple of MIDI controllers and some professional headphones (Sennheiser HD 600, Sennheiser HD 25 Sony MDR7506, etc.) calibrated with Realphones. I also have the capability to work in surround (and maybe Atmos) if needed.

Previously, I built an isolated and calibrated control room with TC Electronic Studio Konnekt48, THX-sertified monitors Mackie HR624 and additional Genelec 8010A monitors for surround editing.
For surround re-recording I preferred to work in top-quality studios, such as Mosfilm or Cinelab Sound Mix.
