Black Goblin
Black Goblin is developing 'Thol', a machine learning-powered technology that allows content creators to design custom sound effects and automatically sync them to video.
Problem
Independent content creators cannot afford to work with sound professionals, and even less so with big audio postproduction studios whose fees are way higher. Creating audio requires expensive equipment and in-depth technical knowledge. Solo creators and small companies do not have this kind of expertise in-house. The independent content creation industry has fallen short due to the absence of affordable technology and collaborative opportunities.
Solution
Black Goblin is developing its debut product, Thol; an all-inclusive collaboration platform that will allow content creators to design sound alongside audio professionals. Thol simplifies all labour-intensive parts of sound design. Its Machine Learning models allow seamless automatic synchronisation of audio to image and the generation of original, customisable sound effects, enabling artists to prioritise the creative side of audio creation.
Market
Thol is aimed at content creators within the digital content sector, including the online content, Film, TV, Games and XR industries worth $1.4Tr worldwide.
