Screentime bring you another great series of the top rating show Marae DIY. Be sure to catch the first episode on air 8pm 4th October 2009.

If the last series was anything to go by, (best reality format programme at the 2007 Qantas Media Awards and also a finalist in the 2007 TV Guide People’s Choice Awards and the Air New Zealand Screen Awards), then we're in for a another great series.

Brendon Morrow was again responsible for crafting together the sound scape and taking control of the DIY chaos, giving the shows a smooth and full sounding mix.

Native Audio are proud to see, The Strength of Water and I'm Not Harry Jensen at the New Zealand Film Festival. Check the website for screening times.

The ADR for "The Strength of Water" was accomplished with the help of VoiceQ. The percentage of dialogue being replaced was high and many of the actors were fairly new to the ADR process, so VoiceQ was essential in helping take the normal difficulties of ADR out of the process and letting the actors concentrate on performance instead. The film was mixed in Berlin.

"An ineffable unity of loss and renewal, sadness and hope flows through this bold and gravely beautiful film."

Foley for the feature "I'm Not Harry Jensen" was initially a daunting task for Native Audio. The film, set in native bush, meant hours and hours and hours of footsteps on grass, leaves, twigs, gravel, sand. We felt like we'd tramped the Milford track ten times after this one. However the attention to detail in the foley really added the depth to the sound design of Nick Buckton and composition of Peter hobbs creating a full and interesting soundscape.

"His desperate agent suggests joining a tramping party in NZ to clear his head. How could he guess that he's transplanting his troubled client from urban noir into a bloody backwoods whodunit?"
