About Ka-Boom Post Production

Ka-Boom Post Production is an independent picture and sound post-production facility based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Founded in 2010, it works across broadcast television, feature films, scripted drama, documentaries, factual programming, comedy and children’s animation. Its services cover the post-production process from offline editing through picture finishing, colour grading, sound post-production and final delivery.

The studio combines editorial, grading and audio facilities within a custom-designed production environment. Its picture department includes 10 offline editing suites running Avid Media Composer, Final Cut and Adobe Premiere Pro, alongside online finishing facilities and a 4K preview theatre. A purpose-built Baselight grading theatre supports projects requiring colour finishing, digital cinema mastering and Dolby Vision HDR delivery. Remote editing also forms part of the studio’s offering, allowing editorial work to take place away from the facility.

Sound services encompass sound design, Foley, dialogue recording, audio mixing and re-recording. The facility includes a custom-designed 5.1 surround dubbing theatre, a dedicated ADR stage and a voiceover booth. Its recording infrastructure supports sessions with contributors and production teams working internationally. These capabilities serve both complete post-production commissions and individual recording or finishing requirements.

The company’s work spans a range of production formats. It has supplied full post-production for comedy series Funboys, documentary series Titanic Sinks Tonight and scripted drama Catch Me A Killer. Animation work includes sound post-production, online finishing and delivery for Tim Rex In Space and Beddy Byes, while its feature-film work includes grading, online finishing and audio mixing for Puffin Rock and the New Friends. It has also provided local ADR or voice-recording facility services for major international productions.

Beyond post-production, Ka-Boom offers commercial aerial filming for television, drama, feature films, site inspections and progress photography. Its UAV operations are described as licensed and approved by the UK Civil Aviation Authority and Irish Aviation Authority. The company expanded its production environment through a move to a 9,000 sq ft Belfast facility in November 2024.
