Sound with Nik
We wanted to tell the story of a murder happening in the metro. We misread the assignment and thought we had to find/make the sounds ourselves. We made a heartbeat by taping on the microphone, and Ithai helped us add some effects to get it to truly sound like a heartbeat. Unfortunately, Soundtrack Pro was not happy at all after the heartbeat editing, and would repeatedly crash. We lost Ithai’s heartbeat magic but we tried our best to replicate it. We also made a gunshot sound from popping a balloon. At the end we threw in the band playing (Union Square metro station), because it reminded us of Dexter and how he murders someone, and then upbeat, Cuban (?) music plays at the end.
When we exported it, we lost some of the layers, but linked are the original Soundtrack Pro files.
Stop Motion with Chris Alden
Chris composed and played the music himself. Amazing!

And lastly, I worked on a comic strip with Morgen, starring his lovely nephew:
