Hey all! I'm urgently looking for an audio editing / sound design gig from now until end of January or ongoing if part-time. I'm very experienced in voice editing (incl dialogue in film) and I love doing sound design for audio drama. Here's my reel. Reaper + iZtpRX soundcloud.com/melissapons/...

Yes, there will be a Black Friday sale. Stay tuned...

From the Guardian. Cartoonist Ella Baron.

Here's a tease: Next week we're releasing a major update of the Pacific Institute's Water Conflict Chronology -- the best open-source database on violence over water resources. The news isn't good. Any journalists interested in getting embargoed info prior to the release, reach out to me.

Matchbox 2.2 released just now with REAPER support and performance improvements for everyone. www.thecargocult.nz/products/mat...

Viktor trailer. Very happy that this film is coming to theaters in the US now. Doing the sound design together with Nicolas Becker, Heikki Kossi and the rest of the worldwide sound team was an extraordinary experience. youtu.be/9WxQ5q7oR4w?...

Absolutely on point advice here! And make use of the tools that make those movements intuitive and organic (faders and joysticks) rather than drawing curves, please.

Nice drawing by Randy Thom: #sounddesign #filmmaking

THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB is a hard film to watch, a hard film to think about, a hard film to write about. Just gut-wrenching. Absolutely struck a nerve here at Venice. www.vulture.com/article/revi...

Wales, Wales, Wales, what’s this? A folding bike dispenser? Ie, os gwelwch yn dda.

My friend Davide and his team at @audiokids.bsky.social just released Synchronicity. I had the pleasure of beta testing it, and I really loved it. If you do Foley or SFX editing, this tool should be a no-brainer! #postproduction #protools #sounddesign #foley

Here’s something I do very rarely: a recommendation for a book!📕 But I just finished reading BROWN GIRLS by Daphne Palasi Abdreades It’s instantly become one of my all time favorites. The perspective, the form the style. The plurality of stories and realities. - just amazing.

Can anyone with a similar type record it in a more quiet environment? Pretty funny thing. 😅

Got a text yesterday from my brother, telling me to go to the local IKEA and record a stove hood they had on display. Today I went there to record it. The OMNEJD stove hood did not disappoint 😄

Today will be the world premiere of White Snail in competition in Locarno. I'm very proud to have mixed this one and super curious about the public reactions. If you are at the festival, please go and see it

In 🇩🇪: anscheinend ist April von Des Kulumgegashvili in Deutschland jetzt via Mubi verfügbar. Auch wenn der Film wirklich für die große Leinwand gemacht wurde und dort bestimmt am besten funktioniert, ist er so eigen, dass ich hoffe, dass er auch so sein Publikum finden wird.

Watch this. It’s fun. #OzzyOsbourne And support music programs in schools!

Sad that this company ELVTR is posting ads like this on Facebook and other places. This person does trailers, he is not the sound designer 'behind' any of these projects. So sad and disrespectful and deceptive. I hope people do not support them @elvtrcom.

Paula Beer on ‘Mirrors No. 3,’ Her Fourth Film With Christian Petzold and His Ensemble Approach

Nach 9 Lolas ist #September5movie wieder in den Kinos, falls Ihr ihn verpasst habt.

Herzlichen Dank an Anna de Milanese auf X 😁

Hmm. No mention how the compensation for rights holders should actually happen. And if I got it right it would only happen after the training has happened? Not quite sure I like this direction...

I have a feeling that this is not what ANY national film industry needs right now. We have had too many crises one after the other now. Would have loved to avoid the next one.

Trump announces 100% tariffs on movies ‘produced in foreign lands’

To anyone, who's close to where April is opening now or soon. Go see it on a screen as big as you can. And with good sound. ;) The review below also explicitly mentions the sound design by myself and my amazing co-sound designer Tina Laschke (unfortunately unmentioned!).

This is a beautiful short documentary about Bernie Krause and the importance of natural soundscapes, featuring some of his incredible recordings: youtu.be/w-0IzU1EDdk?...

A must-watch from the great @carolecadwalla.bsky.social — the Trump-broligarchy are staging a global coup, and they have more information on more of us than the Stasi ever did. But we can fight back. We must. youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE
