From the start, the team was professional, creative, and incredibly attentive to our vision.

The entire process was seamlessfrom concept development to filming and post-production. They were collaborative, responsive, and committed to excellence every step of the way.Our community was thrilled with the video, and it perfectly captured the impact of our work over the past 25 years. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Indigo Productions to anyone looking for high-quality video production services.Thank you, Indigo Productions, for bringing our story to life in such a powerful way!

Dewetia Latti's Review Sourced from Google
Roger Aarons from Aarons CGI was very much part of the Rio Tinto Innovation team. His animations were amazing - accurate, engaging, effective and were used at all levels of engagement including folks with deep technical expertise, lay persons, and senior management.Roger's animations were extremely useful to us in communicating innovative ideas within and external to our business. The process of creating the animations also forced us to think through the real value of the innovations which we were chasing and Roger's approach in finding out exactly where the value was and how things worked was professional, inquisitive and so very creative! Roger is a pleasure to work with.I recommend Roger's work without hesitation.
Grant Wellwood's Review Sourced from Google
So you have an idea- the next big thing-CONGRATULATIONS! What next? For me as an engineer, it's always a meeting with Roger from Aarons CGI. Why? Animations are the ultimate minimum viable product (MVP) for many concepts, and with Aarons CGI I always get three times the value compared to platform giggers (like Fiverr).How so?1. Amazing Quality: The finished product is always amazing in terms of the rendering and the physics (if it involves movement). In most instances, the animation was better than I imagined (and I have a good imagination!).2. Fresh Eye Review: Unlike job-shops, Roger doesn't just simply animate your emailed storyboard; he becomes an extended part of your team for a time, making the effort to get down in the weeds in order to understand your concept/vision as well as your message and the intended audience. This review process (go slow to go fast) is of incredible value because it makes you think things through (forces slow thinking), and the innocent questions raised by Roger are the same as your viewer will have. In many instances, the concept has been materially improved as a result! Let's face it, inventors are often blind to the needs and perspectives of their "customers".3. One Take: This is where the ‘go slow to go fast’ strategy pays off with the final step proceeding quickly and efficiently in a single step, to the agreed schedule. How? Simple, all the issues have been ironed out beforehand (step 2). Seemingly cheaper options usually work out much more expensive and take longer to do, because you do the job more than once (typically 3 iterations).So...Got a concept? Take my advice, the next stop should be Aarons CGI for an MVP with 3x the value!

I worked closely with Roger Aarons from Aarons CGI on several animation projects while working with Rio Tinto to clearly explain some complex innovation concepts in the mineral processing space. Roger's animations were excellent and well-received across senior management. I highly recommend Roger's work.

I’ve now worked with Matt on several jobs and everyone has been successful.From start to finish Matt provides all the relevant info and makes the job so much easier. At all stages, we have a clear understanding of the job, even before it starts, as he supplies all 3d scale plans so you can accurately see how it’ll look and work before it is built.Matt also helped me when I first started the business with the branding and created the website which I'm really pleased with. He went into great depth before he started and looked at our competitors and created document breaking everything down so we could compare. This helped us construct a site which is perfect for our business.I would highly recommend Matt to anyone that needs any design work or project management.

We have been working with Elastic Canvas now since 2012 and the quality of work they have done for us is second to none. Our business is Sports Advertising and consists of high profile sporting events around the World like International Football, Ice Hockey and Figure Skating. Our Clients are all International and based in foreign markets and Matt has always consulted with the Client and advised them of the best possible way to maximise their exposure on these events. From getting a brief from the client to actually designing the advertising material and then liaising with the Organisers to make everything runs smoothly on the day.I would highly recommend Elastic Canvas to anybody who is looking for a professional Graphic design company. Keep up the good work!!!
Chris Brazier's Review Sourced from Google
I've used Elastic Canvas's services twice now and will definitely again in the future for all my self tape submissions. I emailed Matt the material for my auditions prior to our session and on arrival camera and lights were already set up to film. We filmed three takes for each scene (9 takes in total), then selected the three to send off. Within an hour Matt had graded and edited the footage together and uploaded them to be accessed by my agents and casting directors in London and LA respectively.The service that Elastic Canvas offers is by far the best and most efficient I have experienced in 13 years in the industry and would highly recommend them.Chris Brazier

Andrejs and his team were superb to work with throughout our experience. A friend had recommended looking up NEAT for our company's needed videos for an upcoming accelerator program. We came to Andrej without a very clear vision of what we would like to have created, and a very tight deadline. He was extremely prompt, attentive, and followed through on everything discussed both in terms of quality and timeliness. He and his team were able to react to last minute requests from our side and some shifting timelines, and were able to deliver high quality and impressive results. Two videos, one animated, and one interview style - both made big impressions and made our startup really standout from others.Nick WoelfelManaging DirectorSpartan Capital Intelligence

We came across NEAT via a video that they had shot for a friend's business. It looked expensive but was such good quality that we decided to get in touch anyway. We are SO pleased that we did.We had a tight budget and timeline so needed a company that was both affordable and efficient.We had a loose outline of what we wanted but NEAT were great in helping us focus down on the actual content as well as advising on the best types of shots, arrangement and music to make the video even better than we could have imagined.If you're thinking about contacting NEAT, please do it.

Audio production agencies create radio, streaming, and podcast commercials, including scripting, casting, voice-over, recording, mixing, and mastering.
In the United States, audio is now a mass-reach channel, considering 79% of Americans age 12+ listen to online audio monthly, according to Edison Research.
Podcasts have become mainstream, according to research that shows 55% of Americans listen to podcasts monthly, and 40% weekly.
The demand for audio services is growing rapidly.
According to IBISWorld, the United States alone has more than 25,000 audio production studios. It generates roughly $1.8 billion in annual revenue, while the broader professional audio market exceeded $12.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach over $17 billion by 2030.
Globally, the audio recording services market is projected to exceed $4.3 billion, reflecting growing demand for high-quality studio production.
This growth is also driven by the expansion of podcasts, streaming music, video production, branded content, social media marketing, and feature film production.
Podcast ads can drive unusually strong brand lift. Namely, Nielsen reports aided recall of 71% for podcast advertising vs 50% for people not exposed to them, and brand awareness lift of 13 percentage points in podcasts.
The IAB's FY2023 study reports $1.9B in U.S. podcast ad revenue in 2023, projected to exceed $2B in 2024 and reach nearly $2.6B by 2026, which is a strong signal that businesses keep investing in the channel.
The global audio post-production services market was valued at about $9 billion in 2024 and is growing at nearly 6.9% annually, driven largely by the film, advertising, gaming, and music industries.
The best audio production companies create reusable brand elements for branded content and social media, such as:
They collaborate with video production teams to deliver:
Studies show that sound quality directly affects how audiences judge a message and a speaker. One controlled finding shows that listeners rated the same talk 19.3% better with high-quality audio than with slightly distorted/echo-prone audio.
When businesses hire audio production companies, the process typically follows six to eight structured stages, including discovery, pre-production planning, recording, editing, sound design, mixing, mastering, and final delivery.

| Pre-production planning | 3-10 days |

| Recording sessions | 1-3 days |
|
| Editing and sound cleanup | 1-5 days |
|
| Sound design and creative production | 1-7 days |
|
| Mixing | 2-7 days |
|
| Mastering and finalization | 1-3 days |
|
| Delivery, revisions, and distribution | 1-5 days |

The cost of hiring audio production companies varies depending on the type of project, the experience of the producer or sound engineer, the location of the recording studio, and the complexity of the final content.
Typical hourly rates according to multiple agency sources include:
In large media markets such as Los Angeles or New York, premium studios equipped with Pro Tools systems, advanced mixing consoles, and acoustic recording rooms may charge $100-$300+ per hour.
Some studios also offer daily rates. Mid-range professional studios often cost $500-$1,000 per day for recording sessions.
When businesses hire audio production agencies for larger projects, total budgets often fall into these ranges:
| Project type | Budget |
| Podcast episode | $200-$1,500 |
| Commercial audio ad | $1,000-$10,000 |
| Corporate video audio | $500-5,000 |
| Music single production | $500-5,000 |
| Full album production | $10,000-$100,000+ |
| Film sound design | $5,000-$50,000 |
The timeline for an audio production project varies depending on the type of content, the complexity of the sound design, and the number of collaborators involved.
Simple projects like podcasts or social media audio may be completed within a few days, while larger projects such as feature film soundtracks or music albums can take several months.
Large productions such as feature films, documentaries, or television series require more time because they involve extensive sound design, dialogue editing, Foley recording, and multi-channel mixing.
Audio post-production for a 30-minute film, for example, can require 150-300 hours of work depending on audio quality and complexity.
| Project type | Timeline |
| Podcast episode | 1-3 days |
| Short commercial | 3-7 days |
| Corporate video audio | 1-3 weeks |
| Music single | 1-3 weeks |
| EP or album | 1-3 months |
| Film or documentary audio | Several weeks to months |
As audio becomes a core component of modern communication, organizations across multiple sectors rely on recording studios, sound engineers, music producers, and sound design specialists to produce high-quality audio.
