Services we offer
Sound editing
The last thing you want is for your audience to be distracted by bad sound. Production sound frequently requires editing in order to produce a clean, consistent audio track. Proper sound editing will save you valuable time (and money) when it comes time for the final mix.
Sound Design
Sound design is the process of searching for (and often creating) the perfect set of sounds to complement your film. The first step in this process involves watching the film (in a spotting session) to establish an aural aesthetic and identify sound cues that will add to the story.
Foley + Sound Effects
While SFX libraries are a great resource for finding sound effects to bring life to your film, there will always be certain parts in every project that require the creation of custom sounds. This is where SFX and foley recording come in.
Mixing
The mixing process brings together all audio elements of a project: dialogue, sound effects, foley and music to create a soundscape that matches the desired visual aesthetic. This is the final step in the post production audio process.
ADR + Voiceover
When recording sound on set, not everything you capture is going to be usable. ADR (also known as "dubbing") is the process of replacing bad location sound with dialogue that has been cleanly recorded in a studio.
Music
Music can serve several purposes that are either important on the emotional side of the movie or help/enhance the storytelling.
it establishes setting; it creates atmosphere; it calls attention to elements; it reinforces or foreshadows narrative developments; it gives meaning to a character's actions or translates their thoughts; and it creates emotion.

A few questions which would allow us to scope your project timeline and cost are:
1) What format do you want your final audio in: stereo 2.1 or surround 5.1?
2) How long is, or will the final edit of your film be?
3) When will you have your picture lock (final edit)?
4) What is your deadline for the completed project?
5) Are there any significant audio problems that need to be fixed?
6) Will you be scheduling your actors to do ADR work in the studio, and how much?
7)How much foley and sound effect design work will you need?
8)Do you have a score already, or composer lined up to write your music cues?
