EXPERTISE


My core competency is Dialogue Editing, Sound Design, Re-Recording Mixing.
Mostly fiction and documentaries that do not have ADR capabilities.

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 try to solve the directing tasks of a project with the available methods.

Also I work with Spatial Audio formats for 360 degree video and VR.
There are some examples of my ambisonics mixes for 360 degree video work (use headphones and HMD for the best experience):

GEAR


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. Also I have a couple of MIDI controllers and some professional headphones (Sennheiser HD 600, Sennheiser HD 25 Sony MDR7506, etc.).
For surround re-recording I prefer to work in top-quality studios, such as Mosfilm or Cinelab Sound Mix.
Software:
Pro Tools Ultimate
iZotope RX Post Production Suite the best software for sound restoration and some great mixing tools
FabFilter – very powerful equalisers, compressors, limiters, etc.
