Gorilla Expands Audio Dubbing Capacity With Pro Tools Investment

Cardiff-based post-production house Gorilla has announced the expansion of its audio dubbing capacity with the purchase of two further Pro Tools systems and an S3 console from Scrub, the post-focused division of HHB.

The S3 and one Pro Tools system are located in a new dubbing suite designed to complement the two existing S6 dubbing theatres, also equipped by Scrub. The second Pro Tools system spearheads a move by Gorilla to meet a demand for Foley work due to an increase in International distribution deliverables.

Gorilla currently has 70 Avid suites making it the largest post-production facility in Wales.

Gorilla Technology Director Rhodri James, said: "We can move sessions quickly and easily between rooms, which is a huge benefit to productivity and accommodates a collaborative workflow. Of course Pro Tools is also what our dubbing mixers want and expect to use, and Avid have made a major step forward with the launch of the S6 and S3, producing consoles with a world-class look and feel."

Rhodri is equally complimentary when describing his experiences with Scrub: "Scrub is staffed by experts who know all about what they sell. They always give us solid advice, putting our needs first, and their support is top notch – our operators can call at any time if they encounter a technical or licensing problem, or even if they just need a bit of 'how to' assistance. We really value Scrub's focus on post, but being part of HHB is equally as important. Their vast product catalogue truly makes the Scrub/HHB combination a one-stop-shop for all our audio technology needs."

Rhodi concludes: "We've created a Welsh post-production powerhouse here in Cardiff Bay, with a huge variety of work from sport, drama and factual programming through to high-profile entertainment shows like Channel 4's Posh Pawn and One Born Every Minute'. This latest investment is just part of a continued commitment to position Gorilla as a top-tier facility, equipped to compete with the best in the world."
