New(ish) Reel + Some Reflection

Hi Folks - Recently on my journey into game audio (from linear), I’ve realized that I don’t often put my stuff out there, either for feedback or just cause, but I think I cracked the code (!!!) — for me at least.

Take your work seriously, but your presentation not so seriously.

Personally, I’ve always battled with this idea of perfection and that everything from ideation to presentation to final product needs to be the most perfect. This would often send me down a rabbit hole of “nothing is ever perfect enough, therefore, I can’t ever put stuff out into the world”.

Hence my not-so-serious, sound design reel. I found that if I opened with a bit of (non-depricating humor) in a reel intro/presentation, I could actually convince myself to put my actual work, that which I’m proud of, out into the real world. Riding the line of professionalism with a dash of my own personality, which is also reflected on my website.

Inevitably breaking the rabbit hole cycle of unattainable perfection.

So, with that being said, enjoy my newly renovated reel before the folks over at LinkedIn get a gander. (Always open and welcoming of feedback!).
