We were recently asked by Directors/Animators Jeff Han and Paul Sangwoo Kim to create the audio for their new short film World of Sounds.
The film is centred around the idea of a ‘world of sound’ being created when a musician plays an instrument. The character in the film plays the keyboard and around him an entire world evolves into being, containing the different elements of the sound, for instance the large floating ships represent the bass element of the keyboard sound.
The film allowed us to be very creative with the sound design and we were able to layer the audio to give the feeling of an industrial space where all these sounds are being created.
If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the film for presenting then please email [email protected] and we would be happy to provide a copy.

It’s finally here, the last instalment in the film adaptations of the Harry Potter books. The SoundWorks have done another great job in interviewing the crew behind the sound of the film. This importance of the sound design elements looks to be far more integral and intensive in this film than the previous one. The film score has been created by composer Alexandre Desplat who also composed the music for part one and last years big success ‘The King’s Speech.’
A real highlight of the new Transformers movie ‘Dark of the Moon’ is the meticulous sound design created by the audio team. While the original score by composer Steve Jablonsky moves the film along it is the creative sound effects that bring the extravagent visual effects to life. Fortunately for us, the SoundWorks Collection has interviewed the team behind the mics and given us a great insight into their working practice.
You can also take a look at how the team put together some of the sounds for the second Transformers movie:
It’s the Ivors tomorrow and we thought we would provide a round up of the nominees.
