SAE Institute Faculty Member Works as Surround Sound Mixer on Short Film
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) January 30, 2017 -- Jason Munn, Lead Audio Technology Instructor at the Nashville campus of SAE Institute, lends his audio mixing talent to a science fiction short film/music video, ‘Light Up The Night.’ The 16 minute short film and music video is from the Nashville-based rock opera band, The Protomen, whose music is based on the popular Nintendo video game ‘Megaman.’ The video will be released on Blu-Ray in the coming weeks.
The video was filmed in Brooklyn and Manhattan and directed by Matt Sundin and Caspar Newbolt. Jason worked as the Re-recording Engineer for Surround Sound, mixing the film in surround sound. "It was an absolute honor to be invited to work on this project as a Surround Sound Mixer. This was my first experience working on a film and it was challenging, yet rewarding. I had so much fun working with the incredible Protomen. I have never had so much fun working on any project," says Munn.
‘Light Up the Night’ premiered in September 2016 as an official selection at the Austin Music Video Festival. The short film was officially released on December 23, 2016, and it has since garnered great praise and press.
Jason has been an instructor at SAE Institute Nashville for over 4 years, where he teaches multiple Audio Technology courses, facilitates workshops and tutorials, and has authored three courses in Signal Flow Concepts, Live Sound, and Audio Post Production & Multimedia. "Having the opportunity to share my industry experience in the classroom with our talented students as part of the SAE Institute faculty has been a rewarding experience," says Jason.
After earning a Bachelor’s of Arts in Music Theory from the College of William & Mary, Jason also earned a Diploma in Audio Technology from SAE Institute Nashville. "SAE Institute delivers both educational and practical preparation, opening the door to entry-level career opportunities for its graduates. A big advantage for our students is that SAE Institute offers a solid curriculum and industry experienced instructors."
