Zombies and Monsters Go Post Mortem at AlphaDogs Post in New Web Series


Burbank, CA—AlphaDogs Post Production recently completed work on FEARnet’s newest web series Post Mortem With Mick Garris. Directed by Perry Martin and hosted by Master Of Horror Mick Garris, the shows focus is on horror films and other genre-related matters.

AlphaDogs Post Production completed the entire post package including color grading, online editing and the audio mix. Director Perry Martin chose AlphaDogs because he was concerned about maintaining broadcast level quality for the web series. Post Mortem is a dialogue intensive show with no music or sound effects to mask any room tone or imperfections during the interviews. Sound Mixer Isai Espinoza used Pro Tools to mix the show and Waves Renaissance Plug-Ins to equalize and compress the dialogue. Some episodes required the Cedar DNS One dialogue noise suppressor to get rid of any excess room noise and hiss. This allowed for a cleaner re-record of the final stems. Martin comments; “Working with AlphaDogs has been a very happy and satisfying experience. The team was a pleasure to work with and did a fantastic job all the way around. The series looks beautiful and sounds great”!

Post Mortem
