About Me:

Audio Director, Web Development, Golden Tee Golf, Transmedia!


Here are a few clips that I did audio for.


The first video is three videos strung together. Running time is about 1:30.


Three SSB Videos


The next video is the first video from the above montage just separated out. For the music, I used a Native Instruments guitar rig fx to get the wah wah sound in the music. I first came up with the basic rhythmic line using a bass type patch in FM7 (I believe) processed it a bit and then ran that thru the wah. It ended up sounding pretty cool. I got the general idea from the Snatch soundtrack which I reference quite a bit in my writing because it sounds so cool.

Attract Video #1


This is the same video with only the just the fx track. I took the music out to show the full effect of the sound design. At the end of the video as the ball is about to hit the pins and the screen starts shaking, I literally just started cutting out pieces of the audio in its entirety, leaving only silence, to give it that ugly choppy sound. No cross fades or anything. Having those complete gaps in the audio really creates that tensioned, choppy sound that goes great with the video.

Attract Video #1 - No Music



The next video is video number 3 from the first montage. The video is for a weekly countdown the game does to announce a winner. At 7 pm every friday, the game takes over at the bar, sets its own volume (pretty loud) and blairs out this tune and announces the sweepstakes winner. So far no noise complaints.

I love the part in the middle where it breaks down into the AC/DC type riff. Arena Sports Rock.

Countdown Video


This is the same video with only just the fx track. For the beginning section I was trying to go for a space ship powering up kind of thing.

Hi Matt,
I think you're right. Frankly most of the best design minds I've ever worked with were either accomplished musicians or had a strong musical sensibility!

Traditional broadcast, broadband video, online advertising, wireless video and txt msg-ing -- any combination of a variety of forms of media that are related one program/theme. All components are directly tied in to the brand's strategy. What are doing in the new media space?

Hi Matt,

How's it going? You asked about gigs. I just played at Brown Rice last night, the venue I run with some friends. Before that I was at the CNMS mixer at the MCA. Have you been at the summit?

Where have you been hiding? We need to sit down and brainstorm again.

Hey Matt, yes the last IGDA meeting was very informative. Joshua Tsui, David Michicich, and Nick Ehrlich of Robomodo spoke about how they started their company right after EA Chicago went down. If rumors are true, I think they are working on the next Tony Hawk game. So, it's pretty cool that franchise is now being made in an office on Wacker Drive. Thanks again for helping out with the music on my animation. Take your time, I have no doubt you'll do a good job after hearing some of your work. If you've got extra time, feel free to improve some of the action sound effects (like swoosh/swash), if you want :)

Matt,

Thanks for the add. I teach English Composition. Next term i'll be teaching a book arts-themed comp class, and the governing theme is maps.

Do you play music? Next week I'll be playing some shows in St. Louis, Columbus & some other cities.

Thanks! :)

All of the Common Craft "Plain English" videos are really great (even my grandma understands social media now!)...
