Soundcrafter was started in Austin in 1993 by Tom Hammond.  The first films were Kim Hinkel's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre IV" (eventually distributed as "Texas Chainsaw- The Next Generation") and Richard Linklater's "Before Sunrise."  Rick's "subUrbia" in 1996 was the first studio feature where the sound was entirely edited and mixed in Austin.  Growth in the Austin film community, particularly from 2001, led to the creation of the present facility.  Numerous projects such as "A Scanner Darkly," "Bernie" and the documentary "The Unforeseen" have been designed, edited and mixed at the present facility. The sound editing and mixing for Megalomedia's numerous TV series, including A&E's "Shipping Wars," is all done here.

Before moving to Austin Tom Hammond worked for a number of years at Danetracks.  All sound editing was done on an upright Moviola then. Quicktime showing the programming and editing of foley using a Moviola.
