Mobile Mixing

Technicolor’s DMR (Digital Mobile Re-Recording) is our mobile mixing solution that helps a production if they need to have an on-site re-recording set-up at their location.

“Post-production may sound like a technical word, but in actuality, it's the most important element in the anatomy of filmmaking. It's an art unto itself that structures the arc of your story. Film, dialogue, sound, music, and effects are its five major tentacles. During the post-production process, each of these is structured and edited separately by highly talented artists, whose contribution is rarely appreciated or spoken of. Frame by frame with precision and skill, your canvas evolves its persona. Post-production is the key to film magic or film mediocrity. From it comes your completed canvas, which is presented for all the world to see and critique.”

Excerpt from “The Kid Stays in the Picture” by Robert Evans
