The Happy Prince

A 23 minute animated adaptation of Oscar Wilde's melancholy fairytale centered around the arrival of winter, self-sacrifice and love.

Made by visionary Skatedog Films under lead animator John Horabin, this blend of styles including stop motion will be a feast for your eyes.

The characters were brought to life by Sean Gallagher (Coronation Street, Dr Who) Penny Layden (Silent Witness, Murphy's law) and Jim Conway (Badinage, Turn The World Down).

We were delighted to provide additional Sound Effects and Foley as well as the stereo, theatrical and broadcast mix of the feature and a broadcast mix for the trailer.

Gameface

Ginx TV's weekly game review show on Bravo has gone from strength to strength and 5A have been there from the start. Providing comfortable and familiar facilities for the presenters to lay down their voice-overs, here we work in close partnership with the shows producers getting the most from the talent as their upbeat narrative is essential.

In addition to the voice-overs we provided the sound design for the shows opening sequence.

Have a look at the full effect at gameface.bravo.co.uk.

Anaphylaxis

Filmed entirely mute against green screen at Ealing Studios this uniquely ambitious feature by director by Ayman Mokhtar took two painstaking years in post production to be finished.

The plot revolves around a doctor who develops a strange aversion to human skin and goes on to find solace in the words written on the body of a deceased poet during his time working in the mortuary.

The pace of Filmart's Anaphylaxis proceeds like a versed poem which has garnered it endless acclaim. The haunting sound and dialogue mixed against the striking visuals earned the film a debut at the São Paulo International Film Festival.

5A's part in this unique film comprised of the complete dialogue, voice-overs and 5.1 Dolby Surround Mix. To learn more about this extraordinary film head over to www.anaphylaxisthefilm.com

TZU drink

Working for the launch of the new TZU energy drink proved to be the kind of challenge that we at 5A love.

Given the riotous nature of the location, production company EgoProject Films entrusted us to create a soundtrack from scratch.

We had great fun playing with the Sound Design, Foley, wry dubbing, and the music of magnificent composer Gernot Kögel, great ingredients that brought this deliberately quirky samurai/kung fu style promo to life.

A great example of what can be achieved with our expertise.

Cell 2

A co-production between Endemol and Puregrass Films this ten part espionage series was made in association with Sony Pictures in the US and Fox International in the UK.

5A provided vital ADR recording enabling crisp dubbing against the explosive set pieces. Having the actors perform their larger than life characters was a real treat.

Action packed and utterly engrossing, the series is backed by an interactive game. Take a look for yourself at The Cell.TV and see if you can complete your mission.
