Creeping Death Film Poster

Creeping Death is a full length film based on the mythology and lore behind Halloween. I was hired by Director, Matt Sampere as the acting production sound mixer for the shoot.

Production took place at various locations in Central NY and involved 19 days of shooting in barns, pumpkin patches, corns fields, and various homes. Many of these locations provided challenges for capturing premium audio, but we tackled them with a couple of booms, wireless lavalier mics, a premium sound recorder and a little sweat.

The project is moving into post-production in November 2021. As an independent production, completion funds are still needed for special effects, foley, dialogue replacement (ADR), music composition, and more.

Sylvia Medina is an environmental engineer by trade. Watching kids TV shows while her children were infants, made her realize that there did not appear to be much about environmental stewardship and ecosystem management for interactions with animals and people. The idea came to her at about 1:30 am one morning while rocking her baby girl to sleep; she was going to create stories and products that teach children about the environment and the world around them. Sylvia joined forces with the Saige, Peggy, Joy, and Susan to share her knowledge and teach environmental stewardship. The rest is history…

SeeMagicLive helps Joel “appear” on center ice to propose to his girlfriend. Bree really had no clue, as she was busy hosting a special reception with friends and family before the game. She thought her and her two best friends were going to see the illusion up-close. At the last minute, we brought her onto the ice and this is when the magic happened!

“Great product and great response time. The tracks went through some great changes just like we requested and the final product was fantastic. Thanks! ”
