Sound / Foley

Just as important as the picture, sound is a key element to the movie experience. iProductions knows this and will have the newest and latest in digital and analog sound equipment.

The mixing rooms are spacious with an attached recording area for ADR or Voice-over recording. It is Dolby Surround Sound capable of utilizing a fully automated console. Other features include  digital multitrack recorders,  speaker monitors and an over-head projection to sequence the live action with the sound. Specifically designed, the mixing rooms have  similar sonic and visual characteristic to the largest theatre. 

In many cases, sound needs to be regenerated due to a multitude of reasons. This is where the foley room comes into play. The foley room includes all the tools and equipment needed to reproduce everything from a door slam to a baby crying with ease.

One other potential technology is audio spatialization, the ability to "position" sound from the user perspective. By being able to position the sound, every seat in the movie theater is the "sweet" spot. This increases the movie going experience.
