    paper HIDE

    Working in this role I was managing a team of 13 people consisting of 3 ambience designers/editors, 2 foley artists, 5 sound designers, 2 dialogue editors and a spot SFX editor. Being in charge of delivering a high-quality finished product with meticulous notes from the director and strict deadlines I had to be on my a-game. Booking studio time, sorting schedules, booking equipment and making creative final decisions on sound I really took the role on fully and immersed myself.
