About Dev

Dev helps learners hear a scene as a sequence of story cues. His sessions connect movement, material, surface, performance, microphone perspective, synchronization, layering, silence, editing, organization, accessibility, and the emotional purpose of every sound.

Dev's lessons focus on Foley spotting, footsteps, cloth, props, surface choice, performance, microphone placement, recording workflow, synchronization, layering, ambience, editing, sound perspective, DAW organization, accessibility, copyright, and ethical production. Sessions are designed for beginner and intermediate filmmakers, audio students, editors, game creators, theater makers, podcasters, and independent sound storytellers and usually use spotting sessions, cue sheets, prop experiments, microphone diagrams, sync exercises, layered timelines, scene critiques, and safe recording plans.

Dev teaches Foley and sound design through spotting, footsteps, props, recording, synchronization, layering, ambience, editing, perspective, and ethical production. The teaching approach combines story-first listening, playful prop experiments, frame-accurate cue mapping, layer-by-layer critique, and safe production habits.

A useful place to begin: Describe the scene and the sound cue that feels flat. We will define its story purpose, timing, texture, perspective, and a safe recording approach.
