I’ve been toiling away grinding on how to make the final music of the ending satisfying. I searched unsuccessfully for the particular version of Pedro Navaja the movie uses on the kitchen radio by Natalie Fernandez, but it seems it was recorded just for the movie, to get a more feminine vibe than the original song. I was really hoping to blend the last shot of Barry singing (just before he gets the call) with the actual song, but the original just doesn’t work. I feel like I’ve tried every way to keep him singing, then having different end music, but nothing feels right.
So we gotta cut just before he sings. That doesn’t really allow breathing room before credits. But somehow I got content aware working and was able to remove Barry the rest of the shot!! I now have electricity fx to do, but I’ve got the breathing room for music!
And I *Think* I found the end music... I’ve been searching so hard already, and I think I might have found the one all, but I worry it might now work for others as well as it works for me…. It works for me because Im looking for a positive optimistic close for Barry’s journey: The whole movie could take place in as little as 26 hours and to everyone around him, nothing happened. I’m many ways, with everything back to normal, this was all just Barry learning and maturing. So the phrase “don’t worry” parallels the “let go” lesson of Barry’s mom. (“Let
it go” just felt condescending imo in the theatrical release. I get it relates to the motherly advice, but with the Clooney cameo, it felt a little like a direct play to the audience to let the DCEU go.)
But once again my firends, I am asking for your help - I’d love your music ideas again! As a sheltered religious kid, my knowledge of mainstream music is lacking, but you all have done amazing so far!
Here is the rough scene unscored. While I work on FX, lets see what you can do!
Time for you all to have fun! Lets see more ideas!!
