Creative studio Splice continues to expand its audio department with the addition of sound designer/mixer Keith Gettelman.
Together this summer, Gettelman teamed with sound designer/mixer Troy Hermes–who joined Splice earlier this year–to provide sound design and effects for director Eric D. Howell’s new short film Strangers starring James Denton (Desperate Housewives) and Marta Milans (Law and Order) that went to final mix with Oscar-winner Gary Rizzo at legendary Skywalker Sound in Northern California.
“Keith really proved himself to be an invaluable asset during the final days of sound work for Strangers,” said Clayton Condit, Splice partner. “Keith’s short-form and long-form experience, as well as his passion for creating unique sounds has already made him a key player in our audio department, as we are ramping up for a very busy season of feature and broadcast work.”
Condit edited Howell’s award-winning short Ana’s Playground, and was editor and supervising sound editor for Strangers, which is being prepared for the festival circuit.
Gettelman began his career working for SCEA (Sony Computer Entertainment of America, aka Playstation). He worked with the award-winning music department on the development and implementation of music for such legendary gaming titles as “God of War: Chains of Olympus,” “SOCOM: Confrontation,” “Warhawk,” and “Guitar Hero for Playstation 3.” Gettelman spent almost four years with Target, creating content for Channel Red (retail video network), Target.com, national and international Target spots, internal training videos, Target Racing, national meetings at Target Center, as well as Target Field content. Additionally, since 2007, Gettelman has provided freelance audio work on content for the Outdoor & Pursuit Network, independent commercials, as well as post-production for short- and full-length independent films.
Splice is also attached for postproduction on director Howell’s upcoming feature film, produced by Dean Zanuck and starring Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones). Titled Voice from the Stone, the film begins principal photography this November in Italy. Under Condit’s supervision, Splice will provide all of the feature film’s postproduction.
