Recording “Diner Robbery” from @chowmeinholidayfilm dir. by @lanhua_m!

Session Videography by @brandontran0 & @brandonlien_
Video Editing & Additional Footage by Me

Had a ton of fun scoring this sequence! The shouts leading in were originally on the downbeat but shifting it back to to beat 4 to match the visuals gave it more tension. Additionally, using crisp drum machine claps and a riser helped push into the title with the vocals powerfully sung by @jasna.gara! I also wanted to emphasize the adventurous tone and so I included lots of crunchy sounds like muted percussive guitar, drums, shakers, and staccato strings.
