So you have a killer script, award winning performances, stunning footage with stellar sound. Congratulations, you’re halfway done. Now, If you are lucky, you have a visionary Picture Editor who will take your story to the next level. If you are really lucky you have a Post Production Audio team that is equally talented. That’s where we come in. At Doghouse Productions we provide Audio Post Production and Sound Design. "Wait a minute, isn't that the same thing?" Nope! When you bring your project to us for Audio Post we’ll spruce up the dialog, and mix in sound effects, backgrounds and music to bring your production to life, but we will also do something else - design a soundtrack that supports your story. That's Sound Design; it's using sound to enhance the emotional arc of the story. It's more than just making things sound good, it's making things sound right for the story. It's paying attention dialog perspectives; finding backgrounds and effects that are emotionally cohesive; balancing and editing the music so that it enhances the emotional arc and rhythm of the picture. Whether it is a feature film or a 15 sec. commercial spot, there is a story beneath it. A good Sound Designer will support that story with the sound, and that's what we do.
