Hurt People, Hurt People

Western Cape Government

Greg Gray, Romance Films

This project was most certainly a collaboration with a cause. This Public Service Announcement created by one of South Africa’s finest commercial Directors, Grey Gray of Romance Films together with Hello FCB+, intends to highlight the fact that men who have been abused, are far more likely to become abusive themselves. The result is a deeply affecting spot (which is part of a multi-platform campaign) which aims to bring awareness to the generational cycle of abuse and gender based violence.

Five Fingers for Marseilles

BePhat Motel

Directed by Michael Matthews

This critically-acclaimed film is an original and contemporary African Western, pulling on political themes in local tongue. Our very own founder and composer James Matthes worked closely with Director Michael Matthews to create a locally relevant, yet world-class score that fits the Spaghetti-inspired feel. This rousing and heroic film was very well received in the international film festival circuits and won 5 Africa Academy Awards to its name in 2018. Available to watch on Netlfix, as well as Amazon Prime Video Sub-Saharan Africa.

Ancient Dungeon VR

Oculus Quest

Eric Thullen

We spent two years working on this legendary project. With many gaming enthusiasts on our team, and our passion and experience Music and Sound in storytelling, we were able to collaborate closely with Eric Thullen to create the epic audio landscape for the Virtual Reality version of Ancient Dungeon. This game is a fine example of how we can create the sound for ‘that thing’ you need, whatever that might be.

TAKE THEIR
WORD FOR IT

“We're so grateful to have industry partners like you” “Thank you for your team's endless commitment to excellence in everything you take on.”
- Elmaree Bohm: LittleBig Productions
“I just wanted to send a personal thanks to you and the team for the incredible work you guys have done on our last two pieces. Both are worlds apart and the work was on a global level”
- Cameron Fraser, Creative Director: Joe Public
“Pressure cooker is aptly named. When I’m under pressure, that’s when they cook up the raddest track and audio solutions. I love working with them because they infuse talent and ability with an understanding of what we’re trying to achieve strategically. And that’s what turns a good piece into a great piece. Also, they’re nice people.”
- Marius van Rensburg, ECD: 99c
