JON VOGL

OWNER AND

RE-RECORDING MIXER

Jon Vogl owns and operates Apex Post Production, the Louisiana based media company he founded in 2008.  As a film industry veteran from 20th Century Fox Studios in Los Angeles, he provides services through Apex that include post-production and sound supervision, re-recording mixing and sound editing for feature films, television, home entertainment, and web-based content.  His background includes work on major studio and independent film and television productions, live sound recording, international dubbing and graphics supervision, acoustics, studio design, ADR and foley mixing, and he holds a doctorate degree in music composition.

A native of Southern California, Vogl relocated to New Orleans in 2010 and has since established relationships throughout the state with other local film companies, sound stages, editors, producers, directors, location scouts, and government entities.  Vogl says, “working in the South provides an opportunity to enjoy the local flavors and hospitality….making films here immediately assimilates you into the fabric of the communities.”

 

In addition to his years at Fox, Jon has worked at Sony Pictures, Todd-AO Studios, Soundelux and several independent post facilities throughout Los Angeles. His foundation in traditional film and tape methodologies pools him with an established group of professionals that embraced new technologies and helped integrate digital film making into mainstream media productions.

Outside of his work at Apex, Jon was on the faculty at Loyola University New Orleans where he taught film business, post production, and audio recording and mixing. He currently is an Executive in Residence at Loyola and serves as the university's Film Production Liaison. In this role he both connects the professional film community to Loyola's campus for location filming, and manages the campus facilities while productions film there.

AIDAIN DYKES

SOUND EDITOR & RE-RECORDING MIXER

Aidan Dykes has worked at Apex Post Production since 2015. Born and raised in Baton Rouge, he quickly relocated to New Orleans after graduating from LSU’s E.J. Ourso College of Business to begin working at Apex Post. Formerly coming from a primarily music production background, he stepped into the world of film sound design and mixing with open ears. He’s been privileged enough to have worked on all scales of productions from summer blockbusters to independent short films as an ADR mixer, sound editor, and re-recording mixer. When not at Apex Post, he enjoys playing music, field recording (sound effects and ambiences),
enjoying an ice-cold IPA, and spending time with his girlfriend, Rachel, and their calico cat, Joni.

MAYA LEWIS

SOUND EDITOR, FOLEY ARTIST & RECORDIST

Maya started at Apex as an intern in 2019 primarily assisting with ADR sessions. Following her graduation, she has settled in full-time as ADR recordist, sound editor, and occasional foley artist. Her work can be heard in feature films like My Brother’s Keeper and Daisy as well as several docuseries, such as VICE’s Tumbleweeds and Hearst TV’s Ed & Day.

As a New Orleans native with parents actively involved in its music scene, Maya has long observed the role that entertainment and the arts plays in the cultural landscape of the city. Therefore, she hopes to keep contributing her efforts to the New Orleans film industry. On her off days, Maya enjoys watching movies, cooking with her close friends, and day-playing in film production.
