SCENE 01 / SOUND DESIGN
Sound Design
Creative sound design that brings stories to life through immersive audio landscapes and compelling sonic experiences.
Here is how this works in practice. Sound design creates the complete sonic world of a production through the selection, creation, and layering of audio elements. Sound designers craft atmospheric textures, impact effects, transitions, and site-level soundscapes that immerse audiences in the story's world and heighten the emotional impact of each scene.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with sound designers who bring creative vision and tech expertise to your project's audio landscape. Our team sets up the sound design process from first spotting sessions through final delivery, making sure your production's sonic identity is distinctive, immersive, and emotionally compelling.

Sound design rooted in Brazilian environments and São Paulo/Rio finishing rooms
Here is how this works in practice. Brazilian sound design draws from environments that are largely unmatched elsewhere: dense Amazonian rainforest with its layered insect, bird, and rainfall beds. Favela laje and street ambiences in Rio's Rocinha, Cidade de Deus, and Vidigal. Sertão wind and dust from the northeast. Pelourinho cobblestone reverb in Salvador. Pantanal wetland atmospheres. Iguazu Falls air pressure. And São Paulo metropolitan density. We set up sound design through Globo Estúdios PROJAC, O2 Filmes, Casablanca Studios, Quanta Pós-Produção, Conspiração, and Lobo São Paulo working in Pro Tools and Nuendo with Avid S6 and Avid MTRX rigs, iZotope RX repair, and field-recording libraries built across all 26 states plus the Distrito Federal. Brazilian sound design also intersects with the country's strong percussion vocabulary — samba, frevo, maracatu, baião, forró, and capoeira berimbau — when shoots need musical-texture beds rather than pure sound effects.
Here is what we have to work with. Sound design has anchored Brazil's auteur slate for decades. Cesar Charlone's handheld visual grammar in City of God paired with intricate sound-design layers built the global template. Padilha's Tropa de Elite franchise pushed verité-edge tactical design. Bacurau and Aquarius from Mendonça Filho carry sertão and Recife sonic landscapes. I'm Still Here used period 1970s Rio textures. The Two Popes mixed Vatican stone interiors against Brazilian production sound. Black Orpheus from 1959 and Cinedia's 1930 heritage anchor the longer lineage.
On the ground, we deliver Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 design beds for Netflix Brasil, Apple TV+ Brasil, Disney+ Brasil, Amazon Prime Video Brasil, HBO Max Brasil, Star+, Vivo Play, Globoplay, and Paramount+ Brasil. AS-11 wraps for Globo, Band, SBT, Record, and RedeTV! under ISDB-Tb. And DCI-P3 DCP packages for Festival do Rio, Mostra de São Paulo, Festival de Brasília, Festival de Gramado, and Anima Mundi. ANCINE sign-ups, ANATEL compliance, and LGPD residency on AWS São Paulo or Azure Brazil South are handled inside the brief.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sound design and why is it important?
Here is the breakdown. Sound design is the creative process of developing audio elements that don't exist in production recordings - from ambient atmospheres and site-level sounds to fantastical effects and creature voices. Great sound design makes worlds believable, boosts emotion, and creates memorable cinematic moments that audiences feel as much as hear.
Do you create original sounds or use libraries?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We combine both ways. Our sound designers create original recordings and synthesized sounds for unique elements that define your production, while also using premium sound libraries for efficiency. Each project gets a customized sonic palette that serves its specific creative needs.
Can you design sounds for specific genres like sci-fi or horror?
Here is how the picture comes together. Fully. Our team has extensive experience across all genres including science fiction, horror, fantasy, action, drama, and documentary. We know the sonic conventions and audience expectations of each genre while bringing fresh creative perspectives to each project.
How do you work with directors and editors?
We work closely across the process. We mostly start with spotting sessions to know your vision, give works-in-progress for feedback, and refine sounds based on your direction. We can work with picture lock or accommodate editorial changes as your project evolves.
