JON VOGL
OWNER,
POST PRODUCTION SUPERVISOR,
& 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.
