Trover Saves The Universe
Trover Saves The Universe is an action-comedy platformer video game.
During the production of Trover, I was the Lead Narrative Editor. We created a proprietary dialogue database to help track recording sessions within Adobe Audition. I directed VO sessions with Reggie Watts, Cassie Steele, Doug Benson, and Echo Kellum. All of the RAW VO was edited and managed with Adobe Premiere.
I was solely responsible for editing and managing 15,000 lines of dialogue within our proprietary dialogue database and UE4. Below you'll find some examples of my work from Trover Saves The Universe. From in-game content to marketing trailers, we did it all in house.

Trover Saves The Universe - Narrative Gameplay
Duties:
VO recording engineer
Dialogue editor
Narrative designer
I created all level sequences (UE4) and re-timed all of the dialogue (using L-cuts) for a snappy/smooth/seamless conversation between characters.
Implemented animations for all characters via the sequencer editor within UE4.
Here is my favorite line/blooper. I left a bunch of these throughout the entire game. I added the animations to the scene to match the 4th wall breaking.

We created six animated shorts in the style of Rick and Morty’s interdimensional cable episodes for Trover’s DLC. These four are my favorite.
