This beautifully crafted 3D animation is a collaboration with one of the most established directors in the field of stop motion, Mark Waring. With his portfolio of Oscar-nominated stop motion films under his belt, including the highly successful “Isle of Dogs” by Wes Anderson, as well as work alongside the incredible Tim Burton, the upcoming Christmas advert was definitely in safe and experienced hands.
After teaming up with a mixture of composers and artists from acoustic guitar to choirs consisting of children and adults, we finally chose the award-winning modern classical composer Sean Redmond, with Harlem-based up-and-coming singer-songwriter Amy Jay for this production. We licensed the Carole King original "You've Got a Friend" and Sean reimagined the Grammy Award winning original track into an emotional modern classical together with Amy’s warm, reflective and skilful vocal performance to convey the message of the story impeccably.
