Sound Design

Beyond simply adding sound effects; it involves creating, acquiring and placing every non-dialogue and non-music sound to enhance the narrative, evoke emotion, and build a cinematic environment.

The Skills

Dialogue

Removing unwanted noises from production dialogue (e.g., hums, clicks, mic bumps, excessive reverb, background chatter) using specialized audio restoration tools. Syncing the dialogue to the picture.

Sound Effects

Placing every non-dialogue and non-music sound to enhance the narrative, evoke emotion, and build a believable and cinematic environment.

Ambience

Polishing the edit, tightening transitions, perfecting timing. "Picture Lock" means the visual edit is finalized and no more changes will be made, allowing other departments (sound, VFX, color) to begin their work with a stable timeline.

Music

This service focuses on integrating the musical score and any licensed tracks into the project. Precisely cutting and placing music cues to align with specific visual moments, character actions, or emotional beats.

Sound Mixing

Sound mixing is the final crucial stage of audio post-production where all the individual sound elements—dialogue, music, sound effects and ambience—are brought together, balanced, and adjusted to create a cohesive, clear, and impactful final soundtrack.

Dolby Atmos

Mixing in a 3D sound field, placing sounds as objects around and above the listener, providing unparalleled spatial realism. This requires a dedicated, certified mixing suite.
