Lifelines

Directed by Alannah Harrison

Sound Production - Lauren Darby

I worked as the Production Sound Mixer on Lifelines, a short film that premiered at the Media Production and Digital Arts Degree Show at Rua Red Gallery. It was selected for the Generation Fleadh of the Galway Film Fleadh and the Silicon Beach Film Festival.

As Production Sound Mixer, I was responsible for capturing clean, consistent dialogue and location sound throughout the production. Working closely with the director and wider crew, I helped ensure that the sound complemented the performances and visual storytelling while adapting to the challenges of recording on location.

The experience gave me valuable hands-on experience in production sound, working as part of a professional film crew, and maintaining high-quality audio in a fast-paced production environment. Having the film screened at established film festivals was a particularly rewarding achievement and highlighted the importance of strong collaborative work across every department.

I worked as the Production Sound Mixer and Boom Operator on Greenwood, a short film that premiered at the Media Production and Digital Arts Degree Show at Rua Red Gallery, Tallaght. Working across both roles, I was responsible for capturing clean, high-quality production sound and operating the boom to ensure clear dialogue and effective sound recording throughout the shoot.

I worked as the Production Sound Mixer on Picture Lock, my first experience working in production sound on a short film. The project provided an opportunity to develop my practical skills in location sound and learn the responsibilities of working as part of a film crew. Working closely with the director and wider production team, I gained valuable experience in recording and managing sound on set, establishing a strong foundation for my later work in production sound.
