I will do the audio post production for your film


About this gig
Your picture is locked, but the sound isn't there yet? I'll take your film from raw production audio to a clean, finished mix.
I'm an audio engineer from Vienna and work on independent short films, both on set as head of audio and boom operator, and in post-production. I know what production sound looks like when it comes off set, and how to turn it into something that sounds like cinema.
Every package includes:
Dialogue editing: cleaning, noise and reverb reduction, smooth transitions
Foley: footsteps, clothing, props
Ambience and atmos to build the world of each scene
Mixing: dialogue, music and effects balanced, synced to picture
Mastering to your delivery spec (online, festival, stereo)
The packages only differ in film length: up to 3, 10 or 20 minutes. Longer film? Message me for a custom offer.
What I need from you: an AAF/OMF export or the audio files, plus a reference video of the final cut.
I work in Pro Tools and deliver a stereo mix, with stems on request.
Languages: German, English, Slovenian, Croatian.
Message me before ordering. I'm happy to look at your project first.

FAQ
What files do I need to send?
Ideally an AAF or OMF export from your editing software (Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Avid) with handles, plus a reference video of the locked cut. If you can't export an AAF, send the audio files and the video, and we'll work it out.
Do I need a locked cut?
Yes, please send the final cut. If the edit changes after I've started, re-syncing takes extra time and may cost extra. Small changes can usually be handled within a revision.
Do you add music?
I mix the music you provide so it sits well with dialogue and effects. I don't compose or license music, so please send tracks you have the rights to.
Do you deliver in surround or for cinema?
I deliver a stereo mix, mastered for online platforms and festivals. Tell me your delivery spec (e.g. loudness target) before ordering and I'll match it.
Can you fix badly recorded dialogue?
Often, yes: noise, hum, room reverb and clicks can usually be reduced a lot. Audio that's heavily distorted or buried under loud noise has limits. Send me a sample before ordering and I'll tell you honestly what's possible.
What's included in a revision?
A revision covers mix changes, e.g. dialogue louder, less atmos, a different sound for a moment. Changes to the picture edit after delivery count as new work.
