Proficiency with Avid Pro Tools and Audio Post Production workflows, including Atmos mixing, broadcast TV commercial mixing, theatrical re-recording, audio conform, dialog editing, VO recording and direction, ADR, video synchronization and layback.
The ideal candidate will have an ability to quickly interpret creative direction and offer additional creative ideas beyond the initial creative brief. They must also have a thorough appreciation and understanding of the creative process within a large organization and how to contribute effectively as part of a group creative effort.
