Foley/field recording

 I am honored to recommend Chris Staples as a veteran game industry sound designer.

Chris and I collaborated over several nominated & award-winning Call of Duty projects on-and-off for the past 8-12 years. He has a wide range of skills that cover so many areas: Single player, cooperative, competitive multi-player and live-service game modes. He has contributed to sound recording, editorial, design and implementation for nearly every aspect of a given project: cinematic scenes, music, environments, foley, physics and destruction, to name a few.

Chris' versatility and weathered experience would be of immense value to any company or project, especially after many years of fluidity and volatility in the entertainment and software development industries.

I would enjoy working with Chris again, and look forward to crossing paths with him the future. 

 I had the pleasure of working closely with Chris for several years across multiple Call of Duty projects. He has worked on several of my levels so I've worked pretty closely with him. I can confidently say that he is an incredibly talented developer with a passion for his craft. Chris's collaborative nature and openness to feedback make him incredibly easy to work with. As a designer, I particularly appreciated his keen eye for detail and his ability to provide constructive feedback throughout the development cycle.

Chris's extensive experience in the gaming industry shines through in his thoughtful insights and suggestions. His deep understanding of game design principles not only enhances the quality of our work but also streamlines the development process by minimizing bottlenecks that creep up during development. His input and feedback have consistently been on point which is always a huge help for any designer.

I genuinely hope to work with Chris again in the future, as his professionalism, expertise, and dedication to the project come through in his work. This makes him an outstanding colleague and collaborator. 

 I wholeheartedly endorse Chris Staples for any Senior Sound Designer role. His expertise, talent, and dedication have been instrumental in shaping the iconic soundscapes of Call of Duty franchise titles.

Chris is an exceptional team player, consistently taking direction well and executing tasks with precision. He is also a proactive self-starter, adept at identifying and addressing additional tasks independently. His strong work ethic, reliability, and focus on task completion make him an invaluable asset to any project. Moreover, Chris is highly adaptable, seamlessly adjusting to changing timelines and priorities.

The quality of his work reflects his dedication to his craft and his drive to continually raise the bar. Working alongside Chris was a pleasure, and I would not hesitate to collaborate with him again.
