About Playhouse Post
Playhouse Post is a London film and television post-production business formed through the consolidation of LipSync Post and Halo Post’s acquired assets. Part of Play House Studios, it brings picture, sound, visual effects and finishing together for feature films, high-end television drama, documentaries, streaming productions and commercials. Its continuing LipSync business traces its origins to 1984, when it began serving music and commercial productions.
Picture, sound and visual effects
The studio’s picture services encompass online editing, conform, theatrical colour grading, episodic HDR mastering and final delivery. Its visual effects work extends from pre-production planning, bidding and on-set supervision through compositing, CG set extensions, clean-up and shot finishing. Motion graphics and main title design complement these production services.
Audio capabilities include theatrical Dolby Atmos mixing, 7.1 and 5.1 re-recording, sound design, dialogue editing, ADR, foley and voiceover recording. The business also offers mix stages and grading suites for dry hire. Its finishing work supports theatrical and broadcast delivery formats, including DCP, IMF and Dolby Vision HDR.
Continuing a post-production business
LipSync moved into Soho in 1998 and subsequently brought sound mixing, colour grading, conform and visual effects departments together within its London operation. Alongside post-production services, its history includes participation in film financing through affiliated businesses; those financing entities were distinct from the operating post house.
Following the administration of Lip Sync Post Limited in May 2025, Play House Studios acquired the operating business, assets and ongoing trade in June that year. The sale preserved staff roles and maintained continuity for client projects. The legacy legal company remained in administration, separately from the continuing operation.
In 2026, Play House Studios acquired Halo Post’s assets and combined them with LipSync under the Playhouse Post banner. The renovated Soho facility opened in October 2026, bringing theatrical grading, picture finishing, audio post-production and screening capabilities into the consolidated operation.
