Most pieces use library music that sits in the same frequency range as the voice. We treat the voice as the lead instrument and cut to harmonies written for that piece.
A · Conventional cut
Library music, untreated voice, titles without hierarchy.
B · Desire Paths
Score written to the dialogue's landings, broadcast vocal treatment, parametric titles.
Same fragment · Same duration · Both at −16 LUFS

Hand-painted album cover
A photograph taken in Plaza Las Tres Gracias, Caracas, repainted by a visual artist until it became something else. The final image keeps the figure and the sculpture. The sky, the water, the ornaments and the framing were built on top.
Process
Five months between the shot and delivery. It is digital painting made by hand by ODA, with no generative tools.

Fixed quote per project.
What to know before we start.
48 to 72 business hours from full receipt of the material. If footage is missing or the brief is incomplete, the clock hasn't started.
Two, consolidated by timecode in a single document. A third is quoted separately: 25 to 40 USD on short-form, 60 to 120 on long-form.
In writing and timecoded: "00:14 change shot", "01:02 fix text". One person consolidates. We don't take changes over voice notes.
The high-resolution master with no watermarks and separated audio stems in 24-bit wav. Commercial use is unlimited across your channels.
Not by default. The .drp files, Fusion nodes and studio libraries are the technical know-how. Transferring them is quoted separately, at 75 % to 100 % of the project value.
50 % upfront on projects, balance against final approval. Retainers are 100 % upfront, days 1 to 5 of the cycle. Airtm, PayPal or Binance.
You have five business days to consolidate feedback on each version. After that the version counts as approved and we close the project.
No. The monthly quota is the bandwidth reserved for that month. Whatever isn't requested within the cycle doesn't carry into the next.
No. The portfolio you're looking at is the proof. To check the fit there's the 120 USD paid trial, credited against your first retainer.
The tool we built for ourselves.
