About Postoffice Amsterdam
Postoffice Amsterdam is an independent post-production and creative production house founded in 1986 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Its work brings together visual effects, character animation, editorial, color grading, sound design, original music and voice-over casting. The studio serves advertising and commercial production, alongside feature films, broadcast television and digital media.
Picture and visual effects
The visual effects team creates photoreal CG characters and animals, digital environments and composited imagery. Its capabilities include 3D modeling, character animation, green-screen keying, 2D and 3D tracking, matte painting and set extensions. Paint, rotoscoping, clean-up and finishing support the integration of computer-generated elements with filmed material. Offline and online editing, conform and digital color grading complete the picture post-production offering.
Commercial projects include CGI robot creature work for Toyota RAV4’s Imagine the Possibilities, visual effects and post-production for an Apple WWDC commercial directed by Rupert Sanders, and complete post-production for the New York Knicks’ Nights. Other work includes CG animals for Migros BIO and character design and animation for Coop campaigns featuring a bumblebee, donkey and fawn.
Sound, music and voices
The audio offering covers original composition and music production, sound design, effects, foley, music re-recording, sonic branding and music consultancy. The studio also provides synchronization licensing and spatial audio. Its voice-over casting department handles talent selection, multilingual bookings, casting sessions, demo recording and recording direction for radio, television and online campaigns.
Audio credits include music production for Koning Toto’s Sjaak Swart, music re-recording and sound design for McDonald’s 1955, and music consultancy and synchronization for Transavia’s Happy. Beyond commercials, the studio supplied post-production facilities for De Helleveeg and visual effects and post-production for the dance film Echo.
Recording suites, sound stages, visual effects suites and grading rooms share a single Amsterdam facility, bringing the studio’s picture and audio departments together under one roof.
