OUR STUDIOS
Bardel Entertainment is highly experienced in building creative facilities and operations.
Animation Studio
Bardel is one of the few studios in Canada to provide animation services in all of the major animation mediums - traditional, CG, Flash and Harmony. This unique capability follows Bardel's belief in selecting the most appealing medium for the story telling, and where necessary, developing efficient hybrid pipelines to take advantage of the best each software has to offer. Bardel also has strong relationships with studios within Canada and overseas, and is able to professionally maintain controls in the studio. Whether it's a feature film, television property, or animation for your gaming property, Bardel is able to offer quality animation at a competitive price.
Post-Production, Sound & Voice Record
Bardel Entertainment Inc. is fully equipped to handle all of the post-production needs in a project, from rough cut through to final delivery. It has both Avid Symphony and Avid Nitris suites HD-ready and in-house, as well as numerous HD-ready offline Avid suites, and is able to coordinate all post requirements, including QC checks, music, sound design and mix, dubbing, and English or French language versioning.
Recent expansions included a fully operational voice record studio. With a wide range of locally-based voice talent available, and close flight proximity to Los Angeles, Vancouver is an ideal location to record the voices for an animated program. The voice record studio is available as part of a production package, or as a standalone services agreement. Bardel can also arrange voice directing, casting, and voice talent contracting services.
