OUR STUDIO

C4 Studios operates from a private, residential studio in Sherman Oaks, California. We offer filmmakers a quieter and more comfortable alternative to the traditional Hollywood post-production facility, all while being just 20 minutes from downtown Los Angeles.

Come in, settle in, and work alongside us in a friendly, collaborative environment without the intimidating atmosphere of a large facility. Whether you're editing, working through sound, mixing, or finishing your project, we want you to feel at home and directly involved in the process.

Our studio is equipped to deliver professional, broadcast- and theatrical-quality post-production, while maintaining the personal attention and flexibility of a small studio. And when you can't be here in person, our fully remote workflows allow us to work seamlessly with filmmakers anywhere in the world.

THE EDIT SUITE

A multipurpose editing, color grading, and finishing suite, built and designed by our founder K.C. Powered by a blazing fast Ryzen Threadripper professional workstation loaded with the latest plugins and equipped with color calibrated monitors, it's the perfect place to sink into a long editing session or QC a feature film. We do the majority of our post production work here, along with the occasional in-house foley recording sessions. The room doubles as a foley recording stage, music recording room, and is a great place to do finishing work or review dailies!

THE MIX STAGE

A professionally calibrated 5.1 sound mixing nearfield room, built and designed by our founder K.C. Equipped with a ProTools DAW and a classic Digidesign D Command mixing board, this room is designed to translate beautifully to most major national theater chains. Inspired by the state-of-the-art stages at Boombox Post in Burbank, our mixes have been tested against facilities such as Warner Brothers and Universal, and we've calibrated for playback in theaters chains such as AMC, Regal, Landmark, and LOOK Cinemas.

The room also features a separate built-in ADR and voiceover recording booth.
