Post Production Sound Jim Abdo of BrokenWorks Productions has 30 years experience in audio. He welcomes the challenge of marrying disparate audio sources into a cohesive sound track that serves the visual. Using his knowledge of the techniques required to produce quality audio, he blends the elements of dialog, ambient sound and music, always guided by the mandate of great film making -- story is everything. As a composer and musician, he is sensitive to the film's natural rhythm and seeks to enhance that, even when it is best served by silence. |
