Audio Post Production Services

via Studio Unknown (a division of PopMark Media)

We are a full-service, Dolby tuned/Print Master Approved facility equipped with a 5.1 dubbing stage and full in house editorial suites. Our primary focus is on sound for film and we have developed a unique process for working with filmmakers that allows us to maximize client budgets and meet the tightest deadlines. Our philosophy of excellence extends beyond technical expertise and the exceptional work we do and right on into the client-directed, personal service we offer each and every client. That's the way Audio Post Production Director, Kevin Hill, (Studio Unknown's creator) has always operated. Here, you're never merely a number on a service ticket. Rather, you're someone we want to build a relationship with. We know your project is personal to you, and that’s why we see to it personally that your project receives the attention and TLC it deserves.
