“I’ve worked on several projects with Chris in his capacity as Audio Engineer, including on two award-winning short animated films for Fighting Words and a promo short. Chris took the lead of the audio department for each production, voice recording, foley work and musical score creation.
The final mix on both occasions was of a very high standard and I am very proud of the final result.
Chris thoroughly invests in any project he is part of, he sees each task out to its best possible end result, and he brings a strong air of confidence and charisma with his overall easy going personality.
A true professional, Chris would be of tremendous value to any team and I look forward to working with him again in the near future.”
