Park Road Post, a division of The Film Unit Ltd,
is a film post production facility built from the ground up in
Wellington , New Zealand .
The facility consists of two large THX-certified
dubbing theatres, one smaller dubbing theatre, an ADR studio and
control room, a Foley studio and control room, a digital theatre, a
180-seat client theatre, several edit suites, telecine and film
laboratory facilities, and a host of client support spaces.
Marshall Day Acoustics Ltd provided room acoustic
and noise control consultation to the in-house design team, and worked
closely with the construction team to ensure the integrity of the
design.
The dubbing theatres were completed in time to
host the final mix of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".
This proved the first test for the acoustic isolation of these
theatres, as construction of the rest of the facility continued
throughout this project and several other Hollywood and New Zealand
films.
Response from visiting post production teams to
the new rooms has been excellent, with one mixer dubbing the large
theatres "the best sounding film mixing theatres in the world."
