Possum Holler Studios
Don’t let the quaint name fool you, Possum Holler Studios is a state of the art audio and video recording and editing studio with more than 7,000 square feet of space. Employing acoustical shaping technologies learned in radar testing, using digital masking techniques, and computerized 32 track mixing, any desired ambiance can be duplicated.
PHS has in-house capabilities well beyond the initial capture, including stop-motion, CGI, 3D editing and rendering, green screen sets, Blender animations, and more than 2,700 customizable video effects and 11,000 sound effects on tap.
No matter the scope of your project, Possum Holler has the facilities, equipment, knowledge, skills, and abilities to accommodate it. Our business is making your production the best it can be. Whether you’re planning a promotional campaign, television series, documentary, album, audio book, or a feature film Possum Holler is here for you.
Nothing is more important to a good production than patience and perseverance. Which is good, since Possum Holler is a really laid back bunch of folks. But if you come here, don’t expect us to pass you a jug, you got to bring your own. We might find you a plate of possum stew, though.
