Del Castillo Music

Yesterday evening, Chicken, Chato and me went to see Del Castilo at Sam's Burger Joint.
Their show was really cool.
I actually met Alex (lead singer) very cool guy.

MTY: Mission Accomplished

What a relief.
We finally mastered all of the orchestration pieces.
We covered the WHOLE movie. The soundtrack sounds amazing. The musical production of "el Escape" is finally over.
Very special thanks to Valhalla Studio in Monterrey, N.L.
Rica "Waris", Fer "el Dude" and Giuliano for their hard work and enthusiasm.
You guys kick ass!

MTY Day Two

AAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!
We woke up not knowing what would happen.
The studios were awesome. Guillianno and Fer "el Dude" saw our flick and liked it very much. They started experimenting with the arrest scene and sounded very, very cool.
We finished at about 10 pm. I called my old friend Mario Aldrete.
We went to his house and trade stories and some beers. very fun.
Today we are going to experiment with some crazy instruments and see what we can come up with.

Monterrey Day One

We got here by bus, we got picked up by Rafa and Oso.
We had a burger (homemade by the way) and screened our rough cut.
The initial reaction was silence (not good) followed by somewhat criticism. Everybody "said" it was very good.
After they explained every detail, they thought it was very emotional and very, very good.
Next Rica started to play around with the guitar to some scenes. We'll see today how it goes in the actual studio.
A very good 1st day.

Rough cut screenings

The rough cut was finished 2 weeks ago, but a bettered version is coming up almost on a daily basis.

The rough cut, as of now consists of temporary music score, scenes not color corrected, audio is bad, audio effects are missing and one small scene missing.

The response has been very positive (as expected), the feed back has also been interesting.

The sugestions are so powerful that we are going to reshoot 1 key scene and several other cuts that we did not like.

Thus far, at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. so that is very cool.
