OUR SERVICES
"In the same way that painting, or looking at paintings, makes you see the world in a different way, listening to interestingly arranged sounds makes you hear differently." - Walter Murch
At Parachute the focus is on creation: generating and manipulating sound to convey a compelling narrative through audio. This is why our team is built around sound design and editing. While we do offer a large roster of connections for foley, music and mixing, our lean in-house team is laser-focused on the central components of the post-sound process: design and editing. Our award-winning team, under the direction of our veteran sound supervisors, are focused on facilitating the creative process on-time and on-budget instead of managing the burdens of a large studio.
Sound Supervision
Parachute’s strengths derive from our narrow focus on crafting a vivid soundscape aimed at bringing the visuals and narrative of a project to life. Our broad vision of sound starts at the top with award-winning, experienced sound supervision dedicated to working with clients to bring their own visions to life, and coordination of a lean, talented team to make it all happen. Without the burden of large-scale studio logistics, our supervisors are fully invested in the creative process of each and every project from as early as pre-production to mix playback and beyond.
Sound Design
Imagine a lightsaber without its infamous buzz or a T-Rex without its roar. The impact of meaningful sound design can define a project. Whether it’s the subtext of subtle ambiences or the blast of an explosion at the climax of a film, sound design plays a vital role in storytelling and as a result, immersing audiences in the project. Our extraordinary team of sound designers aim to achieve just that. With hundreds of credits of experience, a passion for sound, and a massive contemporary private sound library, our team will bring your project to life with unforgettable sound design.
Dialogue Editing
It wasn’t that long ago that dialogue tracks were being spliced together on tape, and that a light cough or a distant car horn could be sending your perfect take to the ADR stage. Those days are certainly now behind us and Parachute is proudly at the forefront of that change, embracing cutting edge technology to manipulate and save dialogue that just a couple years ago would be unusable. As technology rapidly changes the process of a dialogue editor, at Parachute the goal remains constant: deliver clean and clear dialogue that captures, preserves and even enhances the performances on screen. At Parachute, story is paramount.
ADR Supervision & Editing
As strong as our team is at preserving production dialogue, sometimes ADR is unavoidable. Whether it’s to replace a noisy track, to add lines or change a performance, our team is second-to-none at delivering seamless ADR that matches or even enhances the original performance. Beginning with our robust technical assessment of every project, we generate comprehensive ADR scripts that provide a guideline for a post-supervisor and an invaluable tool in the ADR sessions that we will direct, edit and deliver to the stage, all with the common goal to best tell the story.
