Post-Op Media, LLC Emmy Award-Winning Post-Production Agency We are Post-Op Media.

Post-Op Media is an award-winning audio and video post-production agency with decades of experience working on documentary films, commercial and promotional spots, narrative podcasts, public relations campaigns and social media content. Formed around the concept of the post-production operator, or the Post-Op, it is our belief that our best work is achieved through cooperation and efficient commun

ication between the operator and the client. No pushy sales team, just a direct creative channel to our experienced "Post-Operatives" who will get you what you need, when you need it. Respected for our accomplishments, sought after for our knowledge, appreciated for our patience, and mocked for our humor.

Wishing a happy retirement to the great Henry Holdren, who ends his 16-year adventure with us today. He brought a wealth of talent, creativity and industry knowledge to Post-Op, and we are forever grateful. Since he's been a fixture in the Mid-Atlantic production and post industries for decades, I'm sure you'll join us in a virtual toast to one of the all-time greats...

Thanks for everything, Henry! Enjoy!!!!

20 years ago this month, Post-Op Media was born. A lot can change in 20 years: cutting-edge gear needs to be replaced and replaced again, technological leaps completely change how work gets done, and editors and mixers get older, yet somehow still look 30ish (that last one might not be true). Post-Op looks a lot different than it did in 2003, but two constants remain: a dynamite staff and clients we look forward to working with every day. So, to all Post-Operatives past and present, to clients who have been with us since the beginning and clients who have just recently found us, to all the patient spouses who've been dragged along to awards ceremonies and industry events: we salute you and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. It's been an amazing journey so far. So...who's up for another 20?

PBS's longest-running long-form documentary series Frontline turns 40 this year! To help mark the occasion, PBS asked Dave Brier to put together a reel using interviews they shot at a recent TCA press tour event. Big thanks to the amazing team at PBS Creative Services for creative direction and to WGBH for wrangling all of the supporting broll. And a special mention to Post-Op's Chris Martin for making the sound mix immersive and impactful.

Dave Brier and Chris Martin had a blast on this "Nature Cat - New Episodes" campaign. You may hear some familiar voices: SNL alumni Taran Killam and Kate McKinnon. You may not be able to understand Kate as Squeeks in this spot although we had fun trying.

From Dave: “It is truly a blessing to be able to promote something that you love, and calling attention to this amazing story of hip hop and some of my heroes was rewarding to say the least. I’d like to thank the amazing creative folks at PBS of which there are too many to mention for bringing me in to help spread the word about this series.” There’s more “Fight the Power" promo content coming, so be sure watch this space!

Post-Op Media is embracing the future in 2023. When Covid came into our lives a few years ago, remote work become the norm. We were as busy as ever, but our clients clearly preferred to either participate in live remote sessions or have approval files sent to them. After all, who wants to commute if you don't have to? Even as Covid waned, we frequently found ourselves alone in our expansive facility, plugging away for clients who no longer needed to be physically present.

Since our industry had clearly changed, we decided to roll with it. Late last year, we moved out of our Arlington location and built a cozier facility in Falls Church. Our staff now largely works from home (with fully tricked-out systems), and we haven't missed a beat.

The irony is that our regular clients shouldn't even notice the difference. We still provide world-class editing, color grading, compositing, audio mixing and sound design from our ultra modern home studios, and we have gorgeous audio and video suites in Falls Church for clients who choose to work in person. Plus, we have a new remote session option that puts you in the "room" with your favorite Post-Operative via live chat using whatever video meeting platform you prefer (Zoom, MS Teams, Slack, etc.). Lots of clients have taken advantage of this remote platform, so let us know if you would like to schedule a demo. Bottom line, if you haven't worked with us in a while, get in touch. Our staff is here (or anywhere you have an Internet connection) and raring to go.

Congratulations to our friends at Red Rock Films for their Emmy win! We’re over the moon! “Secrets of the Whales” is a beautiful and touching series, and Post-Op is proud to have provided the color grading, sound design, mix, packaging and, in a pinch, some post-production supervision.

We won!!! “Secrets of the Whales” was awarded the Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Documentary Or Nonfiction Series. As one of the biggest projects that Red Rock Films has taken on to date, it took a dedicated and passionate team to bring this series to life. From the divers and scientists to camera crew, editors and production coordinators, we want to thank all the tremendous talent that contributed to the special. And a big thank you to the Emmys / Television Academy, Brian Skerry, James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver! Our hearts are full. ❤️ 🐋
