IN DEVELOPMENT

JITTERBUG is a character-driven teen and family feature film about teenage friendship and romantic dilemmas combining the coming-of-age character growth of CODA and the exuberant dance energy of SWING KIDS.

15 year-old Izzy, against her protests, is taken by her parents to a swing dance camp in Sweden, where she finds mentors and teen pals who steer her past blunders, inhibitions, and social failure to confidence, meaningful friendships, and a newfound connection to her own Black American heritage all while Lindy Hop and hip-hop dancing in the land of the Midnight Sun, with a touch of summer romance in the air.

With captivating, energetic dance scenes; a fun juxtaposition of hip-hop and effervescent big-band swing music; the lush, cinematic magic of coastal Swedish summers; and the heart-opening possibilities of new friendship and new love, JITTERBUG will be a favorite watch-and-rewatch go-to for teens, tweens, and families.

The Emperor's Ostrich

Animated Book Trailer

Soft Cloud Film owner Phil Berry directed the music and animation for this colorful piece.  Original music was commissioned by Phil.  He then worked with a voice-over artist simultaneously with the composer to create a cohesive music and voice track.  Art direction and assets were delivered by another company.  Upon receipt Phil worked with the animators directing the storytelling using the art assets provided.  In order to bring out the humor and fun feel of this piece, exact timing and well choreographed movements were critical.  The animator was remote so we worked through our editing sessions over video conference to speed up the delivery.

The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place

Animated Book Trailer

Soft Cloud Film owner Phil Berry provided casting and direction for the music and animation on this book trailer with a vintage feel.  Phil worked directly with the voice-over talent and composer in the same space so that natural interactions and spontaneous improvisation were possible.  The vocal track was that combined with animation using art assets commissioned by the author of the book.  Phil worked with the animators directing the storytelling by starting with a framework of story followed by montage.  He then worked side by side with the animator to enhance the humor of the piece using precise timing and well choreographed movements.  You can see some of the process for laying the audio track in the video below.
