Catching Up With Spring - II

The last month at Tapeworks has seen our work featured on a couple of major projects for our friends at LEGO, that you can now see online and in theaters around the country.

Engineers Bill Ahearn and Chris Lennie were hard at work on the score and sound design for a series of videos for the new LEGO Monster Fighters campaign.  The Monster Fighters series features a group of tough, battle-tested heroes working together to defeat the diabolical plans set into motion by a group of insidious villains and monsters such as Frankenstein, Werewolves, Vampires, Mummies and Zombies. 
We had a ghoulishly good time working on a score that integrates current dubstep elements with more classic "B-movie" horror textures and sounds.

After we gathered our courage together, we embarked on the next project: a 2-3 minute Lego Avengers video, in time for the release of the Marvel Avengers film a couple of weeks ago.  Working with the Marvel-sanctioned sound effects library and a host of music cuts from the Avengers movie, Chief Engineer Bill Ahearn put together a stellar soundscape for the video, which features a LEGO-based synopsis of the Hollywood blockbuster itself.

The best part?  You can literally drop in on your favorite local theater to watch it for yourself - our Avengers Lego video is showing as part of the previews for the actual movie in theaters right now!  So even though you've likely seen the movie 3-8 times already (or if you are among the 12 people on earth who haven't seen it yet), there's plenty of time to catch it again if you missed us before. 

Whew!  Time to take a break for the holiday weekend.  Everybody enjoy the (fingers crossed) beautiful weather and extra day of relaxation.  More to catch you up on when we return from the break....
