Amelia Palmer
Sound Mixer • Sound Designer
Amelia Palmer is a Brooklyn based sound mixer and composer working in the film industry for the last 3+ years. Raised on the sounds of Björk, Kurt Cobain, and k.d. Lang, she has been captivated by music and the sonic world from a young age. While studying at NYU, she had internships in the music business and worked on student film sets on the weekends. She studied the power of sound and its ability to be weaponized, but also worked to understand how to enhance visual imagery by working with production sound. It has been her goal to become an adept “jack of all trades” in the sonic world; a one-stop shop for all of the sound needs for a film from start to finish. Palmer‘s unique understanding of the process drives her work as an on set sound mixer and also influences her work as a composer. Her heightened awareness of the film sound process and her fascination with the sonic world is evident in my unique soundscapes and scores that sometimes break the rules.
She worked on a variety of projects as a sound mixer, including projects for Nike, Spot & Tango, Atlantic Pictures, COPA90, USG, Little Cinema, Cousins, VaynerMedia, among others. Apart from her work with these companies, she did documentary work for NYU, Good Company, and Nice Nice Pictures as well as working on several webseries, short films, and feature film projects.
