John Blankenship, C.A.S.
Sound Recording, Mixing, & Editing
With experience that spans several decades, John has done audio production for radio stations, was broadcast producer for a major Indianapolis advertising agency, designed recording studios, did audio editing and production for numerous creative radio campaigns, and owned and operated a full-service 24 track sound recording studio.
In the early nineties, John began following his cinematic dreams and became involved in independent film. He developed his talents at writing and producing and later began adding cinematography to his skill set. In the late nineties, John called upon his long history and love of audio to learn the techniques of both location and post production sound for film and video. Over the last several years, a large portion of John's time has been dedicated to his services as a location sound mixer and post production sound supervisor as well as running his production company which specializes in independent film production.
