Our
basic services are script editing and development, full 'to script' and recorded casting,
rehearsals, recording and post to any specification.
However, as a specialist production team we offer a lot more.
So why Outsource Media?
"You are the best.... you kick ass!" Jon Vincent - Head of
Audio - Pivotal Games
Our core
focus is making voice in games better. We bring the
experience of over 400 titles and the accumulated knowledge gained
working with many of the world's leading publishers and
development teams to every production we are involved with.
If you are going to
outsource your voice recording the value of getting the team involved
early is singularly the most important factor that raises the quality
standard.
The planning stage of
production is where the quality of the outcome is determined. Just one
clear example is the value added by planning to have your actors cast
and working with you throughout the development cycle. Find voice as
soon as the character art is agreed.
The actor's craft
brings character to life. Actors naturally immerse in character. Their
art should not be underestimated. Most actors have spent a lifetime
honing their craft. Your aim should be to get the dialogue writer,
animator and actor into a positive collaborative relationship. They
together are the craftsmen of character. Collaboration inspires and will
give you better results. If you plan you can do it.
There are a number of
effective models that work well. You will be surprised that
working this way is probably much more cost effective than you can
imagine.
Other than facilitating
the actors involvement we will support you in planning, budgeting,
executing and managing the process from initial casting, through
rehearsal, recording, post, review and final implementation.
We are intimate with all aspects of development, its demands and its
pressures and we have vested interests in both your success and in well
organized and effective
production that focuses on creative excellence. And the earlier we get
involved the more we can add.
One major element of
our expertise with actors is as the communication link between the
language of the developer and the language needed to evoke performance.
Actors are like thoroughbred racehorses: they need careful handling.
In the studio we
provide a clear comfort zone for both developer and performer and we
insist that key creative personnel from the development team are present
for recording. The knowledge and intimacy they hold is essential to
resource the actor. We need to draw that knowledge out and clearly
communicate the actable. This is one of the main reasons why we will
press to have an experienced
director in a session.
Production with us is supported by bullet proof asset
management, zero error delivery and productivity tools which can strip
weeks, even months off both the development and localisation process.
Also we actively support and subsidise grass roots development, so
whatever your ideas and budget are, please feel free to talk to us.
The foundation of our
work with games is our experience in film TV, stage and radio
production. Our production model is similar to that of film production where the team and resources are drawn together and
shaped around the needs of each individual production. We are flexible, extremely
experienced and we do 'kick ass'!
