Hi,
As I mentioned in the =E2=80=98application form=E2=80=99, I=E2=80=99m a sou=
nd designer. Eventually I do
location sound, although I=E2=80=99m not very fond of this activity; I=E2=
=80=99m more inclined
to hide myself into the =E2=80=98safety=E2=80=99 and coziness of my worksta=
tion environment.
So far, every job I=E2=80=99ve done in feature films was for low budget pro=
ductions. I
did documentaries, educational and institutional videos and one =E2=80=93 o=
nly one! =E2=80=93
political campaign.
I do enjoy recording sounds, though. I record lots of sounds for post and
ambiences are the ones I like the best to =E2=80=98produce=E2=80=99. By the=
way, recording
=E2=80=98natural=E2=80=99 ambiences is the reason I ended up finding nature=
recordists=E2=80=99 list,
while researching different types of microphones and array setups to record=
forest, countryside and =E2=80=93 since I=E2=80=99m from Brazil and working=
here =E2=80=93 jungle (!)
ambiences.
I may say I=E2=80=99m a dilettante nature observer, because I=E2=80=99m =E2=
=80=98naturally=E2=80=99 interested
in biology and animal life since I was a child. As a kid, I used to fool ar=
ound
with beetles, ants and snails, for their unpleasantness, =E2=80=98bugging=
=E2=80=99 but never
hurting them. When I was 10 I started to raise birds mostly because of thei=
r
songs and after a few years decided that cages didn=E2=80=99t fit my nature=
and theirs
either.
As an adult I=E2=80=99ve tried fresh water fish tanks and was very successf=
ul after a
few disasters. I ended up with a wonderful tank full of different ambients,=
hiding spots, lots of plants, natural colorful sand and learned that the ri=
ght
menu, interesting landscapes and plenty space can make tiger barbs leave a=
school of neon tetras in peace and the shy angelfish get in the mood to =E2=
=80=98mate=E2=80=99
in public.
I=E2=80=99ve already read some very interesting texts in this list, and lea=
rned and
enjoyed a lot.
I=E2=80=99d like to thank for being accepted in this discussion group and w=
ould risk a
first attempt as a member, saying that although I believe the =E2=80=98crea=
ture sound=E2=80=99
from the other thread is not produced by a biological being, there are cert=
ainly
odd sounding creatures out there and I could be a proof of that myself.
Regards,
Luiz
