Our music team just completed the score for Oh Crappy Day, taking us into the final stages of post-production!
We couldn’t be more delighted with our team: Trevor Bumgarner, Andre DiMuzio, and Chris Hendricks. Working on a very tight timeline, they created a sophisticated score that enhances both the comic and the dramatic moments in our story. Their music blends a wide range of styles, syncs perfectly with the actions onscreen, and subtly conveys the emotions of our characters.
The score includes an original song, “My Mama Said,” with lyrics by our writer-director, Jon Lance Bacon. Our team recorded two versions of the song: one performed by Chris, the other by Jeremy Jones, a multitalented singer, songwriter, string player, and producer, based in Los Angeles.
With all the music tracks in place, we’re now shifting our focus to sound mixing and color balancing. The first means combining music with audio recorded on set — along with any sound effects. The second means refining the overall “look” of the film, by adjusting color, contrast, and other visual elements. Trailblazer Studios in Raleigh, North Carolina, will help with both.
We’re starting 2020 in a big way, thanks to Trevor, Andre, Chris, Jeremy, and the other musicians who lent their talents to our film!
