Film, TV and streaming sound design from Melgard in Mazraat el Hdair, Mount Lebanon, led by sound designer Tony Elk and serving productions in Beirut, across Lebanon, the GCC, MENA and internationally.
Melgard is a sound design studio in Lebanon led by sound designer Tony Elk. We create original sound effects, textures, atmospheres and audio identities for feature films, television series, documentaries and branded content — recorded in Mazraat el Hdair, Mount Lebanon, and delivered to directors, producers and agencies in Beirut, across Lebanon, the GCC, MENA and internationally.
For productions looking specifically for sound design in Lebanon, Melgard combines effects editorial, custom recording and sound creation with an in-house Foley workflow and final mixing, keeping the soundtrack consistent from the first designed effect through final delivery.
Our sound design services start with the picture: a scene is broken into layers — movement, environment, mechanics, weather, impacts — then built from field recording, studio recording, synthesis and curated libraries. Sound editing trims, pitches and places every layer to the frame so the track reads in a cinema and holds together on a phone.
Custom Foley recorded in our own studio sits underneath the design work, dialogue editing and restoration repairs location sound, and ADR covers lines that cannot be saved. Everything converges in the mix: stereo, 5.1 surround and spatial audio versions, DCP compliant masters, loudness compliant streaming files, M&E tracks and printmasters.
Most productions work with us remotely, with cuts, stems and mixes moving over cloud delivery and review sessions scheduled across time zones. Recent work includes Camel Quest, a Netflix series with sound design, Foley and 5.1 mix by Melgard, and Valley of Exile, a Canadian feature film with sound design, Foley, ADR, dialogue editing and a 5.1 pre-mix.
