You've landed in the right place! Welcome to our unique corner of the audio post-production world, nestled in the creative heart of Brooklyn.
We're a tight-knit, fun-loving team of audio wizards who have honed our expertise over the years, and we're here to help you craft the perfect soundscape for your project. So, grab a cup of tea (or something stronger), and let's dive into the secrets to help your post-sound team do the best job for you.
Communication is Key
We can't stress this enough: clear communication makes a world of difference. Share your vision, desires, and expectations with us concisely, and we'll have a strong foundation to work with. Providing us with a detailed creative brief or a comprehensive list of sound references can be incredibly helpful. Often it’s difficult to describe the sounds you want with words but giving us inspiration and references or even making silly noises with your mouth will point us in the right direction!
The Importance of Pre-Production Planning
Proper planning prevents poor performance! Providing your post-sound team with essential assets like a locked edit, a well-organized OMF or AAF, and a spotting session (where we go through the film to identify and discuss sound elements) will give us the tools we need to create the best possible audio experience. The circumstances aren’t always perfect and we’re (a little too) used to working with last minute projects and unfinished cuts but if there’s opportunity to be prepped in any way, we’ll take it!
Timelines and Deadlines
Clear deadlines are crucial for a smooth post-production process. When you provide us with ample time to work our audio magic, we can ensure that your project sounds amazing and is delivered right on time. We're more than happy to accommodate tight deadlines when necessary (as we often do!), but keep in mind that a rushed job may not yield the best results.
Trust the Process (And the Post Sound Professionals)
Rest assured, we're a team of industry experts who are passionate about our craft. When you entrust us with your project, you're in safe hands. Don't worry—we've got your back (and your eardrums). Trust the process, and let us work our magic. We promise you'll be delighted with the results.
Feedback: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Constructive feedback is invaluable in helping us perfect your project's audio. Be specific with your comments and don't hold back. We won't take it personally. After all, we're working together to create the best possible soundscape for your project.
Embrace the Unpredictable
In audio post-production, surprises are part of the game. Embrace the unpredictable and enjoy the ride. Sometimes, the best ideas come from moments of spontaneity, and you never know where our team's creativity will lead us. So, buckle up and get ready for a wild, auditory adventure.
Get the most out of your collaboration with a post-sound team that takes both fun and sound seriously.
