About Ourafilmes
Created in 1997 by Miguel Santos (aka Dr. Speaker Blower), we are based in Oporto, Portugal. We started as an independent video company but gradually we´ve become more speciallized in audio. This because many of people that worked with us since the beggining, followed another path or went working to national TV channels. The time we have in common to make independent movies is each time smaller so we dedicate ourselves to what we do best: audio. We still make movies and videoclips but simply they are not our first goal now.
We now share a studio with Speaker Blower Records, a brand new drum´n´bass label, the first in Portugal. We have many things in common (we are sister companies) so we´ll work very closely. Check the studio page to know more about our studio.
We work in both audio and video. In audio: sound recording (in location), sound editing and mixing for film and tv; creation of music and/or film/tv soundtracks; audio restoration and mastering. In video: industry videos, videoclips, artvideo and short films.
