Project: The Neighbourhood - Stories Promotional Film
Developer: The Neighbourhood - United Kingdom
Production Company: The Neighbourhood
Director: The Neighbourhood

Background: Stories is a self-promotional film by multi-award winning The Neighbourhood. The film is surreal and fun, based on pop-up technology and set in a world of Hawaiian island meets Yellow Submarine.

How we did it: The visual treatment is fantasy, fun and surreal and we wanted to create a sound score that was equally fun. As we had total freedom to do what ever we wanted, we began with setting up all the pop-up movements, populating the atmos tracks, and creating textures for each of the worlds. The events that happen on screen all had to be individually created sonically from scratch. We created additional musical textures for the characters movements, designed the underwater sequences to be magical, and had quite allot of fun !

Sounds we created include: Music textures, whale gulp, pop-up sfx, flamingoes, ape grunts, underwater sfx, robot sfx, cuckoo bird, camera movement swooshes, voice sfx, wing

This project won Best Animation - Big Chip Award 2008
