Your sound effects came in real nice with my film “The Bowl.” Accentuating my story with proper SFX really helped tie the project together and give it that seamless flow I was looking for.

We’ve been using Lens Distortions for a while and we feel like they really add a nice high-end element to our films.
Cinematic Wedding Filmmakers
We needed good, realistic flares. Naturally, Lens Distortions was what we went with. They’re the best ones out there.
Title Designers for STRANGER THINGS
I was finding it difficult to create the sound design myself, using all the elements from places like Epidemic Sound and Artlist. The intro on that video got lots of compliments and it was mostly due to LD so I am definitely using it again!
The quality of selection is much better than any other licensing site I know. I already have a Musicbed subscription, but every time I know I need a really special track that will blow away my clients I come to Lens Distortions.
Shotlife Studio
Luxury Wedding FIlms
Lens Distortions is by far the best music I’ve encountered.
Paul Allen
Filmmaker, Los Angeles
The one thing about your stuff is that it’s always high end. Some other sites are really frustrating, they have a lot of stuff but it’s not always good, so you waste a lot of time wading through junk.
Stephen Green
Freelance Video Editor
The new platform is INCREDIBLE. Really well built, easy to use, and looks great.
Zach Worley
Creative Director
“These are some of the highest-quality editing assets in the industry.”
YouTuber & Filmmaker
Lens Distortions has become an essential part of my filmmaking kit. I definitely recommend you check them out.
YouTuber & Director
Virtually every project benefits from having Lens Distortions used to treat and layer the frame.
Legendary VFX House
Lens Distortions, for me, is a must because they have such unique stuff and they put a lot of effort into it. It’s definitely a quality over quantity kind of thing. Very curated… you don’t have to dig through 5 million tracks to find something good.
Accessible and useful. Your music is the best stuff online. Oh and I nearly forgot, the Finishing LUTs are superb; I use them all the time.
David Baillie
Award Winning DP
One of my favourite providers of all things film and cannot imagine not being your customer. I use one of your finishing LUTs on every project I do! They are like the glue that holds it all together.
Jonathan Campbell
Filmmaker/Drone Pilot
Lens Distortions has THE BEST cinematic tracks for documentary projects in my opinion. I’m regularly drawn to your tracks that have an inquisitive or magical quality to them. Sometimes I’ll listen to your albums just to find new ideas or to think about editing a scene in a different way.
Bud Simpson
International Director/DP
The pricing is affordable which I REALLY like. I’ve licensed many tracks through Musicbed but I find their pricing has skyrocketed.
