This position is for cataloging notes and sounds for an upcoming experimental film. This will consist of recording sounds from films that have already been earmarked by episode and timestamps. Cataloging the dialogue in the form of MP3s and recording the notes. Also, there will be time set aside for scrubbing through a large number of “Cartoons” and noting certain specific examples.

This can be carried out in their own environment with communication via zoom, phone, and email. For those students with access to the NY area, the project will include support for an independent film shoot in a Brooklyn studio.
