THE LOST THING, WITH A SCORE BY NYLON COMPOSER MICHAEL YEZERSKI, WINS THE OSCAR!!!!

Sunday night’s Oscars show delivered the prestigious award to “The Lost Thing” in the best animated short film category.  

The trailer may be seen here:http://www.thelostthing.com/

Nylon Studios’ composer Michael Yezerski wrote the music for the amazing 15-minute animated short that tells the story of a boy who finds an unusual creature on a beach and tries to find a home for it. The film was developed from the book of the same name by award-winning Australian author/illustrator Shaun Tan. It was directed by Shaun Tan and Andrew Ruhemann and produced by Sophie Byrne.

Michael comments, “The music of the film needed to tell an emotional story, but also evoke the strange world of the ‘Lost Thing.’  In collaboration with Shaun and Andrew, I developed a non-traditional musical landscape for the score that would be both heartwarming and yet somehow a little unfamiliar, which reflects the themes of the film.”

In November, Michael won an Australian Screen Music Award for his work on the film. The film previously won top prize at the prestigious Annecy International Animated Film Festival.

NYLON STUDIOS CREATES MUSIC AND SOUND DESIGN FOR SMIRNOFF PURITY CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL

Nylon Studios recently joined forces with JWT, Collider and Animal Logic to create a new spot for the Smirnoff Purity campaign featuring players from UK football team, Manchester United.

The spot features a football game that is played both under water and above. Nylon sound designer Simon Lister and composer Blair Joscelyne worked together on the intense sounds. Commenting on his use of sound effects, Simon remarks, “The soundtrack we created for the spot needed to blow you away. The spot shows a lot of impacts and hits of the ball among the players, and as they were playing the game in water, we used water explosions and water sound effects to reinforce the action on screen.”
