SOUND DESIGN & MIX
Poor audio can make even the best shot projects unwatchable. We can clean up your mix so it sounds cohesive and professional.
WHY GO WITH US?
- Rate includes exports in all the formats you need.
- We have experience working on a wide range of projects from short films and indie features to commercials and series for major platforms like Netflix.
- We've streamlined our process and have a straightforward approach to notes and billing. We will only charge you for the time spent working on your project, not the software or fancy gear.
OUR NOTES PROCESS:
- 1st round of notes is open to an unlimited number of notes.
- 2nd round of notes pertains only to anything that was mentioned in the 1st round of notes.
HOW TO KNOW YOU'VE HIRED THE RIGHT COLORIST FOR YOUR PROJECT:
-
They know how to get your project into their software and back to your editor, whether that’s by XML from Avid, Premiere, Final Cut Pro X, or Resolve. If your editor is having a hard time delivering to your colorist or sound designer, WMM can solve that problem for you here.
-
They can match shot to shot. Making your shots match within a scene is almost more important than managing a look. A good colorist will take what your cinematographer already shot and accentuate it in the best possible way and make everything flow together seamlessly. Color correction shouldn't stand out or be distracting. The best colorists quietly make the cinematographer’s work look amazing and don’t do anything flashy unless the narrative specifically calls for it.
-
You can give them your deliverable specs and they’ll know what to get back to you graded in the correct color space. For instance, if they know your deliverable is for YouTube only, they won’t try and charge you for a high end theatrical grade.
-
MAKE SURE THEY GET ALONG WITH YOUR PICTURE EDITOR. Your picture editor and colorist will be working together closely and need to get along and understand how the other works.

DCP CREATION
WMM can help you create an extremely affordable and quick, DCP (Digital Cinema Package) for your festival run or theatrical screening.
A DCP is about as close as you can get to the quality of a 35mm film print (except at a fraction of the cost.) Your film is encoded frame by frame in JPEG-2000 format and then each element of the film is stored in a separate folder on the DCP. This high quality format has become the universal standard for about 90% of theaters around the world. This is a deliverable that most Oscar Qualifying Film Festivals will require for exhibition.
WHY USE A DCP:
-
DCPs ensure a superior image in a very reliable and durable state (no deterioration from the 1st screening to 100th)
-
Individual folders allow for easy updating (subtitles or dubbing can be designated for different regions)
-
They can be encrypted to prevent tampering or illegal screenings
Pricing typically ranges from $100-$300 for short films and $400-$700 for feature films.
