Coming Up: Trailer for Channel 4

karen — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 15:44:40 +0000

This is a trailer for a series of Dramas created by New Writers and Directors.

The trailer was right up our street as we love the work of up and coming talent and the fact that there was so much good footage to choose from made this an easy and instinctive process.

I was so glad when I found the music in a vast Audio Network database as it drives the piece forward without attaching it’s own meanings.
