Wong Sound Effects Studio

Wong Sound Effects Studio Ltd. (Cantonese: 黃效果工作室有限公司 Jyutping: wong4 haau6 gwo2 gung1 zok3 sat1 jau5 haan6 gung1 si1) is a Hong Kong post-production sound edition and design company founded in May 4, 1990 by sound designer and editor Wong Hui Leong after retiring from Sunrise Sound Services. The company worked on mostly animation projects for Golden Harvest Animation, as well as live-action films and video games.

Its Taiwanese counterpart is Don Quijote Audio Post-Production Ltd..

History
Wong Sound Effects Studio was founded by Wong Hui Leong on May 4, 1990, after departing from Sunrise Sound Services to leave Detroit, Michigan. Due to a distinct lack of sound designer/editors in the Sham Shui Po District, the original sound designer/editors for Wong consisted of local theater actors, local radio and television personalities, people recruited off the street that had no prior sound editing experience, and college students.
