Sound effects in a film isn't filler or a gimmick. It's a vital instrument to tell visual stories on-screen. Sound design is both a technical discipline & an art form. The right sound design treatment makes your visual images real & believable.
At Astro Sound+Vision, our sound designers & engineers labour to build immersive audioscapes for feature films, TV series, commercials, animation & games.
We sculpt rainy afternoons, desert storms & icy blizzards. Door slams, footsteps & finger taps. Car chases, dragon fire & space battles. It's an obsession of ours to design aural magic for the screen.
And we craft with the mix in mind - be it Dolby Atmos®, surround or just stereo - blended with dialogue & music.
Tell us your story, and we'll give you sound ideas.
When we need a unique sound effect to match the action on-screen - and sound libraries fail us - we turn to the art of foley.
Foley is the reproduction of everyday ambient sounds to be placed into films, videos & other media - to recreate 'audio reality' on-screen, or even enhance it. Foley is a part of audio post-production.
Our foley stage holds a diverse array of props & floor surfaces to simulate various terrains. Our foley artists then dream up creative ways to recreate specific sounds synced to actions on-screen, recorded with specialised audio gear.
To capture such sonic reproductions, foley artists are keen observers, sensitive listeners, gifted visualisers & good audio engineers. They analyse footage & catalogue scenes that need foley effects which can number to hundreds or even thousands.
Final foley results are added to our sound design during post-production at Astro Sound+Vision, and to all screens big & small.
