If God Were One of Us, He’d Be…

BYMBrian McLaughlin, our second deified Deviant. yay, Brian!

Brian has been working tirelessly over the past 8 months cleaning up sound, adding sound design and mixing it down into both 5.1 surround sound and LTRT – which is apparently a major bitch, but a necessary evil for Digi-beta masters, so thanks for taking another one for the team, Man!

So without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the newly deified Brian McLaughlin….

Brian: Hey there, my name is Brian Y McLaughlin and I’m the Sound Designer for trippin’.  OK, I’m a bit more than that, as I also did sound mixing and a lot of sound cleanup work for trippin’ as well.  Personally, I’m a late comer to the trippin’ family, as I didn’t come on board the project until post production.  I’ve been doing corporate films and short films for almost twenty years, and in the past five years or so, I’ve started to specialize in the sound arena.  I LOVE sound effects (I have THOUSANDS in my library, and I used to scour the CD racks for sound effects CDs), and one of my heroes would be Ben Burtt, the man behind the Star Wars Sound FX.  (I actually got to meet him once at a convention.  I was a bit giddy)
