A Cleveland, Ohio: MDI

Did you know that every Hollywood film is dubbed? Lines spoken by the actors on location are plagued by poor audio, random interference, and extraneous noise! We decided early on that our audio would need to be professionally recorded in a studio, along with the incidental noises that accompanied our actors’ movements. These re-recordings are known as ADR, or automated dialog replacement. Incidental noises like footsteps and the rustling of clothing are handled by Foley artists, and it is critical that these performers can accurately reproduce sounds that were present at the time of recording, but are poorly represented in the location sound mix.

Althought with major national projects secured for 2001, MDI is still accepting submissions from independent filmmakers looking for crew members to help with the production of their motion picture project. We have a range of services perfect for the working filmmaker.

Features

Twisted, our first full-length feature, is now in post-production. We are currently in the process of editing the movie for a scheduled completion date of Winter 2002.

Several film festivals in the U.S. and abroad have already expressed interest in Twisted. We look forward to wrapping up the project so we can focus on planning for our next film, Rapture, to begin filming in 2002.
