In The Edit Bay

Written By: Patrick on January 27th, 2008

Kathi, Brandon, and I have been editing the episodes for “Couch Cases”. It’s going extremely well, and we’re all surprised (in a good way) that our little low budget indie comedy is coming together as if it were a well-oiled show on a major network.

Today we worked on episode 2, which includes some really awesome flashbacks to a Mexican restaurant experience gone wrong. It was looking really good, but then we added our music track… brilliant!

How we got this music was a happy accident- while we were on set, a mariachi band came in to rehearse. I paid them $40 to record them rehearsing (once we were done with our shoot), and for the rights to use the recordings in our show. We had them play some traditional (royalty free) songs for us. They were awesome!

And the music adds a wonderful dimension to the storytelling.
