U.K.-based audio post and music composition company Tamborine provided the audio post work on LEGEND OF THE DRAGON, now airing on the BBC1 Saturday morning slot. BKNs high-action, 26x30 animation series just completed a run on CBBC, before transferring to BBC1.
China's mystical ancient world comes to life in a contemporary setting in an action-packed series where a teenage boy, Ang, and his sister, Ling, are guardians of the 12 ancient temples and do battle with the evil Zodiac Master. The series draws influences from THE MATRIX and CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON, with lots of kung fu action sequences.
Tamborine's md and composer Mark Blackledge commented, This is another exciting time for Tamborine. LEGEND OF THE DRAGON is an animation series of very high production standards and expectations. We are proud to have delivered the complete audio solution, making the producer's life so much easier as well as optimizing overall costs. The producers have been left with more time to focus on key areas of production rather than running between foley studios, dubbing suites and composers."
It was a pleasure working with Tamborine, said on LEGEND OF THE DRAGON producer Jeff 'Swampy' Marsh. The guys are 100% devoted to delivering a great sounding show. They have an unparalleled skill and passion for animation audio post, and delivered everything to the highest possible standard.
Tamborine offers a one-stop shop for all animation producers' audio requirements from complete cast recording, to foley recording, track laying, sound design, dubbing and music scoring.
BKN have tapped Tamborine for its next project; an animated, musical feature film based on the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. This work comes right on the heels of recording the voices for CiTVs pre-school series, POCOYO, for Granada Kids; as well as full audio post and music for clients, including Wised Up, Granada Kids, Blue Zoo animation and Prism Ent.
Tamborine seeks relationships with animation production companies outside the U.K. in order to undertake full audio-post work on co-productions with the U.K. For a DVD showreel of some of Tamborines animation and kids TV audio post credentials contact Tim Dodd at Tamborine on 020 7434 1812.
