Sound Stuff
Over the weekend I managed to finish the dialogue and sound fx editing for the Hondance scenes. Everything sounds pretty good, and the foley and background ambience I added makes it all sound much more "film-like".
I also trimmed three minutes out of Scene 3 in "Mother In-Law Zombie" (a scene where the main character is giving the back story at a therapist's office), which was about half the scene. I trimmed another three minutes out of Scene 10 in "Corporate Zombie" where one of the characters is ranting about her parents' "sub zero refrigerators" and whatnot. The full versions of each scene will hopefully be on the DVD, as the stuff that got cut out is really pretty funny.
Last night I started working on the music for the scenes. I finished a muzak/bossa nova version of "Raise the Dead" that plays in the lobby of Kashgrab Records in Scene 3 of "Rock Zombie". I also finished a classical piano version of the same song that plays in the background at a cocktail party in scene 10 of "Corporate Zombie". The last thing I worked on and finished was the theme for "Mother In-Law Zombie", which consists of a tuba, oboe, and some flutes and piccolos. It sounds like a Danny Elfman score for a Tim Burton movie; slightly creepy but with a little bit of off-kilter humor.
Tonight I'll start working on the music for the "Corporate Zombie" scene. It's all underscoring, but will still be tough because it's orchestra-based, and because the mood of the scene really moves around. So, lots of strings and horns, with some percussion thrown in for good measure. If I have time, I'll also start working on the MILZ underscoring, which mostly takes place during the death scene, and during the dream scene.
Other than that, I need to add some music to the newscaster scene, where the zombies are first reported to be coming back to life, and will also probably put the bossa nova "Raise the Dead" in the background of the "Rest Home" commercial made by 37.5 member Curtis E. Crispin.
And at some point in all of this I need to find time to make 20 Hondance DVDs. Apparently I won't have any time to work Friday evening because we'll be setting up for the festival and possibly practicing for the DMFS show, so all of this needs to get done by Thursday night. Hopefully inspiration will strike, and I won't be sitting there for extended periods of time trying to force myself to come up with decent music.

It's "Sub-Zero" not "sub zero." It's a brand. www.subzero.com. They also make Wolf. From their site:
Sub-Zero and Wolf. These corporate companions and kitchen soul mates will, like no other brands, help you achieve the design and performance you want for your uncompromised kitchen.
What do you want your kitchen to be? You don't have to compromise. You deserve the best. Tell the world that you're a person with the courage and individuality to buy a Sub-Zero appliance.
Yeah, we're premiering at The Charles before we screen it at The Creative Alliance. Probably the week before. All cast and crew get a free ticket to the premiere, too!
You're in it. Don't you remember eating cornbread and dancing around like a fool?
The key worked out great. In fact, the whole thing turned out great. Nikc did a good job. Just come over and watch it sometime.
Don't you remember Kara Webb talking about this movie? This is the one that she has a starring roll in.
It seems like everyone and their mother is in this movie. The Pasquinade guys, Tepid Fish girls, Top Floor actors, Better Hollywood guys, the Henley brothers, etc. We'll probably be comping about 80 tickets at the premiere. Hopefully everyone will bring a paying guest!
Damn you for having to earn a living, Kara!
I think he was just saying that a lot of people have other plans for the weekend. Not anybody's fault, just an observation.
You thinking of coming by later on in the evening? I think we can "comp" you, considering all of the help and support you gave us last time.
Regardless, you're welcome to come over to the house some time to watch the teaser.
