No Redemption - A Western Horror Musical
Added 2018-10-28 04:00:02 +0000 UTCHello! Here's the western musical that I've been teasing, I hope you like it! It's not really inspired directly by Red Dead Redemption II other than just being a western. It takes more inspiration from mythic or psychedelic westerns I'd say. There's also a dose of Mandy in there too I suppose, and similar things to that, even though I'd already been working on it for a while before I saw Mandy. The most direct Mandy influence is the film grain effect I added haha. I came up with the title at first as an SEO joke about RDR2 but then I realized that it's actually a perfect title, so there you go.
We had a lot of fun with this one, and it was a crazy amount of work (we shot 24 pages in one 16 hour day haha, won't do that again.) I'm really proud of how it came out, the weird black box theatre vibes I think come across in a fun way, and I learned a lot of new things about music mixing thanks to my friend Evan. Stereo widening! Who knew! So I hope it all looks and sounds good to you.
Anyhoo! I hope you enjoy it! Here's the blurb from the youtube listing too:
