Anyway, I could tell he was all lies from speaking to him the first time. Everyone who invested in him was quite dumb to be honest.

I had warned people, but they didn’t listen to me because I was still in college back then. Oh well.

Luckily, he got justice served to him. Had he been smarter, he could have covered his tracks, a real fool this guy.

The funny thing is that even having film credits doesn’t necessarily put you in the Sound Designer category, which my definition of is creating what has never been heard in sound. The blurry part is when designing and editing meet and this new sound is placed against picture for the best possible dramatic effect. I do both and that’s who and how I work.

This guy is a fascinating radar blip and a nice reminder about how well the sound community self polices credit piracy.

You steal credits and achievements, we will find you.

Would you invest in a sound-designer?
My personal belief is that people shouldn’t invest in fields that they have little understanding of.

Hopefully, they will see some of their energy(money) again.

“I find it remarkable that anyone would feel comfortable in claiming credit for something they had no involvement with, and the idea of being connected to criminal fraud in such a manner of association is not a trivial insult in my opinion.”

“Sometimes, one confesses a sin in order to take credit for it” -John von Neumann.

People make fake diplomas and impersonate war veterans on a regular basis. Prestige, I suppose.
Perhaps the definition of “sound-designer” needs firming up. It’s a bit nebulous at the moment.

Nice work on FF.
