Tell us about your Telly Award winning piece. What’s the story behind it?

The Official Launch Trailer for Minecraft Legends was our opportunity to bring the excitement of a brand-new world to the beloved Minecraft universe and its legion of fans. We were tasked with using sound and music to bring the game to life while still remaining true to the original Minecraft roots.

What are you most proud of about this piece? What was your biggest challenge during production and how did you solve it?

The biggest challenge we faced was bringing a signature sound to a brand-new experience while still staying true to the overall Minecraft universe. We were able to build on existing assets to create a new and unique sound for the game, as well as creating all-new original music to give it a distinct identity.

Can you share a behind the scenes story or fun fact about the making of your piece?

Most of the vocals for the Piglin characters were grunting and snorting performed by our own audio director!

Tell us about the most memorable response you got from this work.

Hundreds of thousands of views of the trailer on YouTube in the first 24 hours of release was impressive and exciting for us!
