SOUND EDITORIAL

Every project is different and deserves a unique, original and detailed soundtrack to accompany the picture. The sound editorial process can take anywhere from one week to six months. We tailor our sound editorial package to match your project’s requirements with specialised dialogue editing, sfx editing, adr, loop group, foley and sound design.

SOUND DESIGN

An oft misused term; its definition changes depending on your continent, and/or your medium, and/or your whim! Whether it’s creating the roar of a spaceship taking off, the scream of a deranged bat monster, the boom of an exploding planet or simply recording the natural ambience of a native forest in Aotearoa, no worries, we can help you out. In short, if you want some sound, we’ll design it!

ADR & vo

Birthplace of the innovative software VoiceQ, we offer specialist ADR services, with our ADR credit list boasting some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters. We have all the typical ADR microphones and four VO booths, plus Auckland’s largest ADR stage, Source Connect and phone patch to link you in, wherever you are in the world. We record VO for a range of short form projects including TVCs, web content and audio books.

FOLEY

Foley is a dark art - when you mute the foley track the sound falls off the screen. An unsung hero, great foley will go unnoticed by your audience, but the subtle nuance of the clinks, scrapes, feet and cloth are key for a realistic soundtrack. Our foley stage is purpose built with ample pits and props, and a 150” screen to perform to.

SOUND SUPERVISION

Managing the sound post workflow can be complex and time-consuming. Often this role is taken care of by the Supervising Sound Editor. Those hours quickly add up, taking away from the creative process. For that very purpose we run things differently, with dedicated project supervision ensuring our clients’ needs are met without detracting from editorial and mix time.
