What We Do
Our work at Avatar covers a wide variety of formats. We have provided Setanta and RTE with commercials and promo services. Several feature films have been mixed by us and many of the high profile and award winning programmes broadcast in Ireland over the last few years have been mixed at Avatar.
Last year saw ten of our projects nominated for IFTA awards, including two nominations for Best Sound. Five of these converted into wins.
In 2012 we won the IFTA for Best Sound for The Writing in the Sky.
