During the post-production of “Alien,” the filmmakers created several mixes conformed to different versions of the film during the months leading up to the national premiere.

Paramount Pictures selected Audio Mechanics to restore this classic film from 1951. Since it was filmed entirely on location in Africa, production audio quality was significantly worse than usual. The challenge with the restoration was to find a balance between enhancing the audio clarity without sacrificing the fidelity of the original audio source.
