POST PRODUCTION

3D ANIMATION

·3D animation, sometimes referred as computer animation,

Provides the illusion of movement using a sequence of still images generated from three-dimensional data. Since this process is entirely digital, there is unlimited creative freedom in what we create.

An animator can produce content without the use of actors, expensive set pieces, or props, making 3D animation a lower-cost alternative.

This method also allows us to create images not possible with other technology. 3D models generate interest for product demonstrations since a customer can view a photorealistic model at any angle.

·

In addition to our full range of video production services,
ThoughtBox Media also offers a full range of 3D animation services, including:

Character Animations • Real-time Rendering • Modeling • Rigging
Texturing • Photorealistic animation • Concept designs • 3D models

Do you want a 3D animation sequence for your video? Do you want to see a realistic rendering of your idea without hiring a set, actors, and props? Let us handle your next project’s 3D animation!

COLOUR CORRECTION

·

Colour correction has two basic steps:

primary and secondary colour grading.

In the first step we adjust your video’s colors as a whole. Next we focus on correcting specific issues, such as removing or adding shadows.

For productions shot over an extended period of time, we manipulate the colors so your video has complete visual continuity.

Through understanding your concept, the Colourist staff at ThoughtBox Media crafts a specific mood for your video by brightening, saturating, and modifying colors.

By using a variety of digital tools including masks, power windows, and mattes, our staff creates videos where you always look your best.

In addition to our full range of video production services, we also offer a full range of color correction services, including:

• fixing white balance
• creating visual coherence in balance and tone
• fixing excessive exposure problems
• ensuring video is broadcast safe
• scene-to-scene matching
• facial enhancements
• professionally calibrated equipment

MOTION GRAPHICS

·

At ThoughtBox Media, motion graphics are integral to video production, as integral as color and focus.

High-quality motion graphics add a level of production value that can take a video from the ordinary to the extraordinary, while also enhancing its underlying message and theme.

ThoughtBox Media’s motion graphics are not designed to impress people. They’re designed to engage our audiences more deeply in the central narrative.

Our design team lets the story dictate the graphics, not the other way around.

Using the most advanced hardware and software in the industry, ThoughtBox Media’s award-winning team of art directors, motion designers, video editors, animators, and motion-graphic artists conceptualize and produce 2D and 3D graphic sequences as amazing as our writers and creative directors can dream up.

·

ThoughtBox Media provides 2D and 3D motion graphics production for all types of productions.

MUSIC SCORING

·

Music emphasizes the underlying emotions of the message. Our composers and editors make music work subconsciously, subtly serving the story.

·

Our composers are the maestros behind feature films, TV shows, TV spots and documentaries.

Their music is the wave on which all other disparate visual and audio elements ride into one cohesive viewing experience. Their one-of-a-kind scores underscore a scene’s psychology. Their motifs and moods and grooves deepen character and drive narrative.

ThoughtBox Media considers music too important to be an afterthought, or background filler. Ideally, we bring in a composer or a music supervisor during pre-production, to harmonize the look, sound and feel of the entire project from its inception. Once the film is cut, our composers score to the exact timings of each scene. Cut by cut. Beat by beat.

Because controlling every detail is crucial to the outcome, ThoughtBox Media offers a complete array of music scoring services. We cover composing, arranging, and orchestrating, even copying the parts. We hire the musicians and vocalists. Conduct the sessions. And book the best recording studio. Then we carefully supervise the music mix before editing the soundtrack with picture.

We also offer stock music, known as production music. If this conjures up cheesy, cookie-cutter “canned” music, ThoughtBox Media does it differently. Our vast and versatile library of music guarantees that the music will be passionate, evocative and nuanced, seamlessly supporting the picture. Never overpowering or underwhelming.

·

We offer complete music services as integral component of our full range of video production services, as well as a la carte.

SOUND DESIGN

·

The mood of the any film or video sequence is often set by the audio.

By improving the audio, the impact of the picture can also be dramatically improved.

VIDEO EDITING

·

We believe the most valuable asset in post-production is not equipment but the skilled creative professionals who breath life into every project they work on.

·

We have carefully assembled a roster of world-class editors and post professionals who have worked throughout the complete gamut of film and video production.

Our Editors have vast experience in everything from corporate videos, broadcast commercials, documentaries, independent  films, and music videos, life-style television shows to music videos, web commercials, promo videos and beyond.

This creative diversity allows ThoughtBox Media to select the ideal Lead Editor for every project, based on the project’s specific objectives, constraints, and creative aspirations.

·

At ThoughtBox Media, Video Editing is an art form, performed by artists, and like all art, it can be approached from many different perspectives.

Give the same set of footage to 10 accomplished editors, and you’re likely to get back 10 different videos. The choice of Editor is often the most critical decision we make during the post production process.

Each of ThoughtBox Media’s Senior Editors is a master storyteller in their own right, maestros of drama and emotion, sculptors of image and sound, and Field Generals for the rest of our post-production team, responsible for transforming a myriad of disparate creative elements into a unified cohesive whole.

·

ThoughtBox Media offers a full range of video editing services.

VISUAL EFFECTS

·

VFX allow us to take audiences to places
they could never otherwise go…

…to visualize ideas in ways they never dreamed of, or maybe just to make them laugh, depending on the project.

No matter the genre or subject matter, ThoughtBox Medias Visual Effects team combines state of the art technology with good old fashioned imagination, to achieve visuals as mind-blowing as our writers and directors can dream up.

Long before post production, long before shooting even starts, we bring our Visual Effects team in to consult with key creative personnel on the best methods for achieving our desired results.

Whether it’s through a computer or a practical solution, each visual effect is carefully planned, tested, choreographed, and perfected with the project’s Director, Creative Director, and Cinematographer.

Visual Effects like digital matte paintings, set extensions, digital crowds, and computer-generated characters, enhance the  reality unbeknownst to the viewer.

Other Visual Effects such as Rotoscoping and 3-D animation can expose the viewer to a new world, juxtaposing live action with fantasy.

Our Visual Effects artists push the limits of what is possible, creatively and technically, with software like 3D Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, Inferno, Flame, and After Effects.
