Sound for
film and video.

Hiss, fluctuating levels or dialogue buried under music make even a well-shot film feel cheap. Good film sound, on the other hand, goes unnoticed. It carries the story and guides the eye.
With us, sound comes from one source. We work in our main studio in Frankfurt, planned by studio designer Jan Morel, and in our recording studio in Cologne. For film and series we have worked for HBO Max (The Idol) and Netflix, among others. For the feature film YABADU, now on Amazon Prime Video and Blu-ray, we handled the complete audio post-production in two weeks: dialogue restoration, sound design, foley and the Dolby Atmos mix.
