What we offer
Dailies
Get your production started on the right foot. Let our team of dailies operators and workflow supervisors receive, process, deliver, and backup your dailies footage with care and expertise. From set to editorial and from post to deliverables you can trust your footage is always in good hands.
We want to provide you with a clean, comfortable, safe, and creative working environment. We can provide Avid, Final Cut, or Premiere editing systems, or you can bring your own. The choice is yours. Our sizable rooms come furnished, with wi-fi, phone, and individual refrigerators for personal food storage.
With an impressive roster of both in-house and freelance sound editors and designers at our disposal, we can provide the right creative fit for your production. A vast sfx library of custom recordings, along with an extensive collection of commercial sound design tools, ensure the perfect sounds are just a click away.
Two ADR recording rooms are available with options for source connect, SKYPE, zoom, and the good old fashioned telephone to link your talent and creative teams together. An on-site foley stage brings that special “next level” of nuanced detail to every production. It’s the one aspect of filmmaking that hasn’t changed since the “talkies” but bring your work boots, it gets messy in there.
The final sound mix is your creative playground and our mix teams are here to make sure you get the most out of it. With experience mixing a variety of genres in 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos, we’ll make sure the sound mix takes the viewer by the hand and doesn’t let go.
Specializing in 2D compositing, our VFX team is here to help your production see its vision on the screen. From basic cleanup to conceptual design, our team has an extensive background in coming alongside and supporting projects of all sizes.
The final look of your production means everything. With 7 online suites and 5 color grading suites including 4K feature film projection, HDR, and Dolby Vision capabilities, we want your creation to stand head and shoulders above the rest. We only look good, if you do.
Deliverables don’t have to be overwhelming, you just hand them over to us. DCP authoring, IMF mastering, Dolby Vision & HDR, 4K, 2K, HD, Blu Rays, PAL, digital deliveries, closed captioning, subtitles, described video, and a full roster of scripting services. Whatever format you need to provide, we can accommodate.

Urban Post is top-notch
"The entire sound team is so talented and thorough, and Re-recording Mixer Steve Moore elevated the film with his great instincts."
"One of the finest post experiences for me. My film We Summon The Darkness is better for their collaboration. Every sequence became layered for a truly immersive experience. I also loved mixing in Urban’s converted old movie palace, and I only wish all indies could finish in such a wonderful space. To match, our colorist gave every scene, every frame, a painter’s level of care, and made the images pop. Urban Post knows how to serve the story. And I’m forever grateful and looking forward to returning with another film in the future."
Marc Meyers
Director: "We Summon The Darkness"
Amazing insight and guidance!
"Sessions at Urban are always incredibly collaborative experiences, allowing performers the space to play, discover, and fine-tune."
"Urban is my favorite place to do ADR in Toronto. I was fortunate to have worked with John Laing for all five seasons of Orphan Black, and can honestly say his insight and guidance during our work together were hugely impactful to the success of the show. I cannot recommend them enough."
Tatiana Maslany
Actress: "Orphan Black"
Outstanding talent & support!
"Simply put, my company would not be what it is today without my continued relationship with Urban Post, its owners and staff."
"Urban Post has become a reliable post solution for dozens of my productions. Making movies is hard, and post is such a significant part of the process that I need to know I've got a partner who will work with me to navigate all of its twists and turns. For me it's very meaningful to be able to speak with the actual human beings who make the decisions... without a hedge fund looming somewhere offscreen. I've watched as they've brought in top talent and equipment, creating a world class facility."
Daniel Bekerman
Producer: "The Witch"
Surpassed my highest expectations!
"They had not only made sound a character – they had given it life, and turned it into a living breathing thing."
"Even before the post process began, I knew how I wanted this movie to sound. However, when the guys at Urban got a hold of the film and worked their magic – they had elevated my highest expectations tenfold. "
Darren Lynn Bousman
Director: "Spiral"
