Sunday, November 15th, 2009P-Comp Final: Brainstorming with Chris

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. (more…)
