Post-production sound company Todd-AO (www.toddao.com)
today announced it has entered into an agreement to extend the lease for
its Todd-AO West facility, located within the Lantana complex at 3000
Olympic Boulevard in Santa Monica.
“Todd-AO West is an important part of our strategic plan to remain
the destination of choice for post-production sound services,” said
Robert C. Rosenthal, President of CSS Studios. “This
agreement reinforces our commitment to continuing a strong, full service
presence in Santa Monica.”
Todd-AO West consists of five mixing stages, one ADR stage, one
Foley stage and a number of editorial rooms.
In recent years, Todd-AO West has completed technical upgrades to
its mixing stages, converting all five of them to Euphonix System 5
consoles. Additionally, the facility continues to attract
top-tier creative talent and projects, including titles such as the
upcoming feature Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the recent
feature G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and the HBO mini-series The
Pacific.
“Our clients want to work in a creative setting with access to top
talent,” said Rosenthal. “At the same time, our clients
demand a high degree of content security, comfort, and privacy, within
an organization capable of adjusting to the unique needs of their
project. Todd-AO West is a time-tested facility that has
proven capable of rising to those challenges in the service of a highly
discriminating clientele.”
