  • Audio Mixing and Mastering for every main stage show held at the Marriott Center for Dance for the School of Dance. Performances: Utah Ballet Spring 2018, GALA Spring 2018, Modern Senior Concert Spring 2018, Ballet Senior Concert Spring 2018, Student Concert Spring 2018, Utah Ballet I Fall 2018, PDC Fall 2018, Modern Graduate Concert Fall 2018, Ballet Showcase Fall 2018, Student Concert Fall 2018. This process includes occasionally recording material as well as the act of helping students and faculty mix together music for their stage performances. I also master all of the tracks so that they sound as good as possible in our theatre and then teach the stage crew how to use and operate the sound board. Media Arts, completed 12/31/2018.
  • Video Documentation and Editing of all main stage performances for the School of Dance Performances: Utah Ballet Spring 2018, GALA Spring 2018, Modern Senior Concert Spring 2018, Ballet Senior Concert Spring 2018, Student Concert Spring 2018, Utah Ballet I Fall 2018, PDC Fall 2018, Modern Graduate Concert Fall 2018, Ballet Showcase Fall 2018, Student Concert Fall 2018. This work includes managing a number of videographers who along with myself film every show at least twice or more (with the exception of student concert which is only filmed once) for archives and audition reel purposes at two camera angles. After filming I edit the two camera angles into a completed video which is available for our archives as well as for students and faculty to use in audition reel material. I handle the order and processing of material to be given to students and faculty and maintain all of the video archives for the department. Media Arts, completed 12/31/2018.

This job includes inventory and cataloguing, filing contracts and logs, maintenance of equipment, and purchasing decisions to keep equipment up to date. Other, completed 12/31/2018.
