Earlier this year, we collaborated with CABBAGE in Budapest for a commercial shoot on behalf of our Chinese client. CABBAGE acted as our local production partner and helped us put together a fantastic creative team for the project.
From pre-production, creative support, on-site execution to post-production, the whole process was smooth and professional. The CABBAGE team was highly efficient, well-organized, and always quick to respond whenever we needed anything. Our client was extremely satisfied with the final result, and we were too.
Their office environment also deserves a mention — it’s comfortable, welcoming, and fully equipped, providing a perfect base for both prep and post work. You can really feel their passion for production the moment you walk in.
A special thanks to Szabi Moradi, who was an exceptional producer throughout the project. Professional, easy to communicate with, flexible, and always willing to go the extra mile to make things happen. Working with him was a real pleasure.
This collaboration was not just a successful project, but also the beginning of a genuine friendship with the CABBAGE team. I look forward to working together again soon. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and talented production partner in Hungary!

Cabbage went above and beyond for our shoot for an international client. We were very impressed by their attention to detail and ability to manage a complex shoot. They over delivered on the budget we gave them and I will definitely be using them again next time we shoot in Budapest.

While they are a well structured team, they are also flexible and adaptable to change, needs and evolution of the creative process.

Jessica Spencer's Review Sourced from Google
I hired 5Gear Studios for a corporate event we hosted in June. From the very beginning, they were great to work with. Darren took the time to meet with me and discuss in detail what we wanted. The booking process was smooth and their staff are responsive and easy to work with.
Come the day of the event, the staff were prompt and friendly. They do a great job of catching moments without being in the way or being obnoxious. Unfortunately we did have a snag, it was one of the hottest days of the year and our venue lost power so we were evacuated from the building -- the filming team followed us to a second location and continued to film, rolling with the punches without hesitation. They were amazing to work with.
I have only seen a draft of our sizzle reel so far but I am impressed with the turn around time and the quality of the reel.
Overall, I highly recommend 5Gear for any videography needs.

I've been working with the 5 gear team for almost a decade now. They are my go to video production company no matter the scale. I've hired them for single videographers covering events, commercials, green screen capture and motion design, video editing and all the way up to large scale livestream shows with clients such as Samsung. Every single time is flawless and professional! Darren and his team always check in with me multiple times before any shoot and there is clear communication throughout. The videos are always of the highest quality and with their robust backup system I've even been able to recover footage I've lost. I would highly recommend them for any project.

Camp LUCK's Review Sourced from Google
Thank you, Episode 11!
It’s hard to capture in words what a summer camp experience means to kids. A very “regular" experience like summer camp is even more meaningful for kids with unique medical conditions. Since 2010 Camp LUCK has provided a positive experience that helps everyone reach their potential by building self-esteem, friendships and character in a safe environment. We want our “heart kids” to be “regular kids” for a week and participate in awesome activities that they might not normally be able to. Episode 11 volunteered to capture that experience — and did so — through the words and pictures of some of our campers. The campers’ candid interviews are a powerful reminder of what Camp LUCK means to these kids and their families. And without question, the video documents how much fun they have just being kids.

Her team showed up on time and conducted themselves like professionals. In addition, they also pieced together a recap for me to promote my future events. I am blown away by their quick action, creative angle and style that they've given my event. Beyond anything imagined you took everything to a superior level. I could have never done that on my own. Thank you so much Digital Distortion Production cant wait to work with you again!

How much does it cost to hire an audio production company?
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:
Recording studio time: $50-$200 per hour, depending on studio equipment and location
Audio engineer or sound engineer: $50-$150 per hour
Music producer: $50-$500+ per hour, depending on experience and reputation
Professional audio editors: $90-$200 per hour for complex audio projects such as narrative podcasts or film dialogue editing.
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:

High-quality audio samples or demo reels (30-120 seconds each) Most professional portfolios include short audio demo clips between 30 seconds and 2 minutes that highlight specific elements, like dialogue clarity, music production, and acoustic sound design.
Evidence of experience across multiple industries The best audio production companies demonstrate experience across 3-5 industries, indicating that the agency can adapt to different creative and technical requirements.
Collaboration with recognized brands, artists, or musicians Many companies highlight notable clients or collaborations, such as brands, advertising agencies, or well-known artists. Even a portfolio that includes 5-10 recognizable clients or campaigns can demonstrate credibility and industry trust.
Proof of measurable impact or performance results Some portfolios include metrics that demonstrate the success of the project. For example, videos with strong sound design can increase social media shares by 35%, and sonic branding elements help 90% of consumers remember a brand.
Recent work from the past 2-3 years Because audio technology and digital media evolve quickly, a strong portfolio should highlight recent projects completed within the last 24-36 months.
