G’day - The Short Film

For this 9-minute global brand launch film, we are honoured to have created a musical score centered around contributions by Indigenous Australian First Nation Artists. After an extensive research and consultancy process, we travelled to Australia to record with singer-songwriter Frank Yamma, Marliya of Gondwana Choirs, acclaimed composer and didgeridoo virtuoso William Barton, and the Iwiṟi Choir, whose Pitjantjatjara language figures prominently in the film’s moving conclusion. The connective score was recorded by the Sydney Scoring Orchestra. As we were responsible for the film’s entire soundtrack, the score was created in tandem with an immersive sound design depicting a vast array of Australian urban and natural environments.
