The Pope’s Dog

The Pope’s dog raises hell in the Vatican.

My Role

For The Pop’s Dog, I had the role of Sound Supervisor, Sound Designer, and Mixer. I was in charge of supervising a sound crew of twelve other people. My tasks included communicating with the animation team and relaying important information to the sound team, conducting frequent meetings in order to ensure that we were keeping on schedule for the due date and release date of The Pope’s Dog, as well as editing the background effects, SFX, and Foley, and mixing the final sound effects pass with the score in ProTools in order to fix any last-minute volume adjustments, panning, reverb, and automation. I also kept track of various other organizational and administrative duties.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with such a large sound crew for this project. This was the largest sound team that I have worked with thus far and it was a great experience.
