RMIT Production 2015 “The Gift"

Students from the A/V Technology and Sound Production programs at RMIT come together to run six nights of TV Style shoots of live band performances and interviews. A/V students provide lighting and camera while Sound Production Students provide front of house, monitor and record audio mixes of the band performances.

I attended all six shoots in 2016 and filled a number of roles including:
Production Manager (2 Nights), Record operator (2 nights), Camera Operator, Stage assistant, Data Wrangaler and Post Production Assistant.

Project Studio Work
2012-Ongoing

I have taken the strong theory foundation and practical experience gained during my education at RMIT and have begun to apply it.
During the 2012-2015 period I began dedicating time and effort towards putting my audio skills into recording, mixing and editing audio and video footage of my own band, friend’s bands and other projects.

This has helped me immensely exercise my skills and time management in real environments.
Since 2016 I have changed the nature of this work from a student/voluntary/pro bono basis to a more professionally presented freelance basis.
