    paper Hierarchy

    I had the opportunity to work with an amazing cast and crew recording, editing, placing, and mixing the ADR for the film Hierarchy (2025), released in theaters August of this year. I had a blast, learned a ton, and we ended up with nearly transparent ADR, sometimes for entire scenes that had lost on set audio!

    Have a listen, and see what you think.

    You’d never know that was all ADR, would you!?
