(Hollywood, CA) May 31, 2009 - Levels Audio, the industry’s leading, independently owned post-production HD super-boutique, serving the biggest brands and properties in entertainment, has wrapped post-production on the History Channel’s newest series, Expedition Africa: Stanley and Livingstone. Levels handled all aspects of the post-production sound from all dialog editing, all voiceover recording and editing, complete sound effects building, foley recording and editing and final mixing of all dialog, music, effects and foley.

Expedition Africa: Stanley and Livingstone is the modern day reenactment of four modern-day explorers retracing the most famous search in history through 970 miles of hell. They faced countless dangers from predators and insects to disease and nature’s own fury. They traveled almost 1000 miles by foot, and by boat, over the course of eight one hour episodes.

“This show definitely had its challenges. There were scenes where we had to recreate the sound of people slogging through chest-deep mud,” said Brian Riordan, Founder of Levels Audio. “We used a giant vat of cooked oatmeal for that. I have never been part of a reality/documentary series that utilized such heavy foley. In fact, I have never even heard of one.”
