HE IS: The man with the golden ears. That sounds like some sort of James Bond villain, but as Lead Sound Editor/Mixer, Brian is in charge of making all programs sound as good as they look. Brian’s ability to sweeten the sound of your voice, add effects and atmosphere when none exist, and mix music like the hippest club dj is second to none.
HE HAS: a list of film credits a mile long. Just a few: Any Given Sunday, Braveheart, True Lies and yes, Krull the Conqueror (you know you loved it). He’s also worked with Universal, Paramount, Miramax and Warner Bros.
HE DOES: have a big heart, despite the cool guy exterior. Brian leads kayaking adventures for disabled veterans.
Our story begins with a bright, enterprising Tar Heel grad (Donna Mitchell) founding a video production business from her living room. It ends with world domination (ok, not yet...). The fun part is the story in between. Cable-ad sales and commercial productions in the Triad market. Big-budget Pharma and Tech marketing programs in RTP. Historical docs, broadcast spots, websites, 3D animation, and "did you see that?" viral videos. Almost 30 years and still going strong... a fine-tuned swiss army knife of creative professionals, inspired storytelling, amazing customer service, and overall awesome-ness.
We approach every client and every story - big and small - the same. You're the expert in your field and we're the experts in ours. Put those together and we'll all produce memorable results. We'll get to know you and your company. Every project gets a brainstorming session with our creative team - together, we'll decide what the best approach, platform, style, and message is for your project. Our production team takes over from there and executes your storytelling vision, edits your program, obsesses over the details, and generally douses your project with copious amounts of awesome-sauce. The last step? Sit back and enjoy the show (and the results)!
Another advantage? We're all under one roof: creatives, writers, shooters, producers, directors, animators, sound engineers, editors, designers, web-developers and even a company cat. It's a collaborative effort, so everyone gets involved. To be honest, the cat is very finicky so she may or may not work with you. Regardless, we're all in one place, ready to go.
Here's the catch, and this is where our honesty shines through: Our secret weapon is our people. There are other companies that can do the same thing. You'll get a good product. At Horizon, you won't find a better group of folks that truly care about you and your project. We put our heart and soul into our projects. You'll see it in our work, and in the decades of satisfied customers. We have clients that have worked with us for decades (note the plural...). They start with us for the high-quality work, but they stay with us for the caring, dedicated people and the amazing customer service.
What are you waiting for? Get to know us (see above), get to know the work, and get in touch! We're ready to tell your story.
We are in love with our new website and thoroughly enjoyed our working relationship with Horizon. Horizon did an exceptional job of helping us organize our information, hone our message(s) for the different audiences we serve, and then present this information in a clear and straightforward manner. We have gotten extremely positive feedback, particularly on the ease of navigation and the general look and feel of the new site. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of the entire Horizon team!
