cAMP Studio

This year's Festival international du film d'animation d'Annecy turned out to be very special for me and my team at cAMP Studio. We are proud to be the sound and music team for 'How Did South African Apartheid Happen, and How Did It Finally End', a beautiful TED-Ed film produced by giraffics that won the Jury Award at the most prestigious animation film festival in the world! To tell this important story, we had the invaluable contribution of Luyolo Lenga who brought the South African ethos to this film with his musicianship. The score uses instruments native to South Africa such as the Umrhube, Uhadi, Isitolotolo, and vocals in the Xhosa language, all performed by Luyolo Lenga. Thank you to the director aya marzouk and the entire Giraffics team for this invaluable collaboration. Also, huge thanks to the TED-Ed team that continues to trust us with so many of their projects, and gives us the continued support and creative freedom to execute our sonic vision. Congratulations to everyone involved! Credits: Director: Aya Marzouk Produced by Giraffics Studio, TED-Ed Music by Salil Bhayani Sound Design and Mix by Amanda P.H.

I am excited to share that Lionsgate has released the trailer of The Legend of Catclaws Mountain, a movie filled with adventure, fantasy, drama, and magic! Movie coming out on Amazon Prime, DirecTV, Dish Network, and more soon! What's more, the film stars some amazing people such as Saturn and Emmy award nominee Dee Wallace (ET, General Hospital), Robert Davi (License to Kill, Die Hard, Goonies), and other talented cast and crew! It was a lovely experience creating the soundtrack for this film, under the direction of Ritchie Greer, who was nothing short of lovely to work with. Thanks for trusting me with your film 🙂 Enjoy the trailer. More updates soon! #soundtrack #lionsgate #fantasy #adventure #music #composer #OfficialTrailer

Many a time, small things in life can take us into a downward spiral. We question everything, we doubt ourselves, and nothing seems to make sense. Eventually, things do start to look up, especially if you have a friend by your side. The film Existential by Kaiya McMurdo is a brilliant visualization of life's chaotic and ephemeral quality. Amanda P.H. Bennett and I at cAMP Studio had a lovely experience working on the sound and music of this film a while ago. The film has since been to some amazing film festivals, including ASIFA Hollywood's Student Animation Showcase, ASIFA East Animated Film Festival, and Los Angeles Animation Festival, where it won the Parallax Award for Excellence in Drama! Check it out, and enjoy!

As we find ourselves merely a week away from the Grammys, I feel immensely grateful to have been a part of the voting process this year. Excited to see who will win, but regardless, it was a joy and a privilege to immerse myself in some of the most incredibly moving, innovative, and high quality music from around the world. #grammys #grammyawards #recordingacademy #votingmember #music

Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season with friends and family, and a prosperous new year! Here is a little flashback on the year we had at cAMP Studio, from some of our most exciting projects, to disappointments, and our endeavors at two of the biggest film festivals, Festival de Cannes, and Annecy Film Festival! We reflect on those with great joy and gratitude, and we look forward to sharing out story again in 2024!
