OUR STORY

AURA SOUND & COLOR STUDIO

AURA SOUND & COLOR is the brain child of Sam and Melani Lewis.  With Sam’s invaluable talent and Melani’s passion for people they knew they had something special, and in 2017 Aura Sound & Color was born. We are a boutique style, full service post production sound studio, with a few extras. Our small size gives us the opportunity to offer every client a one-on-one experience with the team who will be involved with your project. From the creation of your sound package to the moment your material is delivered you have direct access to the post production professionals involved. Our size also affords us the ability to negotiate with any project regardless of budget constraints or timeline.

AND…. because we are small doesn’t mean we don’t bring the best! We are committed to providing a stand out experience for every client. Our state of the art facility can support the latest in broadcast and theatrical standards in every aspect of the process. We operate using the most current technology, work from the most secure servers, and collaborate with only the most talented mixers and editors in the business. Regardless of the scope of your project we will help you create the perfect, custom, post production solution for your projects needs.

HOW WE GOT STARTED

AURA STARTED as a dream that very quickly became a reality. Sam & Melani always envisioned opening a studio someday, during a transitional period in Sam’s career the space where Aura is located became available and the dream that was Aura just seemed meant to be! The decision was made in August and by November it was up and running.

Aura Founder Sam is a multi-award winning Supervising Sound Editor with a wide range of credits in television, film and other media. Sam has a passion for sound and is heavily involved with the technical and creative aspects of every project at Aura. His talent and demeanor are unrivaled behind the board.

Aura Co-Founder Melani is an ambitious new CEO with an attentive and broad minded personality. She has a vision for Aura that is outside the norm for audio post production. She graduated from Eastern Oregon University with a B.S. in Business Management emphasizing on entrepreneurship, leadership, and organization. Her analytical nature makes her the perfect fit to find creative solutions to the typical pitfalls  that can come up during the post production process. She has a passion for people and her main focus is to help clients maintain their vision, and do it on time and in budget.

As I sit in the lobby of Aura Sound and Color, a few things come to mind…incredible hospitality, top of the line equipment, and comfortable stages. But most importantly, Sam is one of the best in the business. As an actor and ADR coordinator, I am so thankful for Sam. He appreciates the art of looping and its importance. He makes the actors feel comfortable and all the while, gets through the cues in a timely, thorough manner. Melani takes great care in making all of her clients feel welcome, she handles all issues and needs with confidence and charm. The space is beautiful too! When you are at Aura, you know you are in the best hands.
