Creative Skillset HETV Sound Trainee

Having seen a number of productions through from pre- to post- production, I have firsthand experience with the pipeline that sound goes through from capture to reproduction. This allows to me help ensure smooth transfer throughout the process, and anticapte where my assistance will prove most beneficial to rest of the sound deparment.

An ILM level three award has also equiped me with an awarenes of the importance of clear lines of communication in maintaining an effective team. From previous work providing hospitality in the Control, Press, and Jockey's changing rooms at race days, I also hold some unanticipated experience in providing unobtrusive service and upkeep in high pressue, fast paced enivronments (and incidentaly, the capablity of making tea and coffee to a 'professional' standard).

I maintain a keen interest in exanding my abilities, contextualising my role within a wider creative community, and keeping an eye on emerging practices such as the rekindling of Ambisonics tecniques within the emerging fields of 360° video and Virtual Reality
