While I was assembling the first cut of our little short, I thought it would be fun to run an alternate version that included a bit of our bloopers and behind the scenes conversations.

Most of it was alternate angles, which would prove to come in handy at a later date. But we did get the occasional arm in the shot, or somebody on camera squirting blood up as “The Wife” delivered her death blows. Simple stuff that we would have worked out if we had understood what “blocking” or “rehearsals” were…

… and then I went sideways. While I had my low-tech editing bay set up, I saw that I could run audio though from broadcast television over the audio of the assembled short.

So, as a bit of fun, I hit record and just began flipping channels to random stations, and since the picture feed was our “Chopsticks” short, I could only hear what was being broadcast. I dubbed this edit the “Lynchian” edit because of its randomness.

The funny[?] thing about this edit is how some of the audio perfectly synced with the image or even subject matter. Between catching Sally Jessy Raphael’s show on spousal abuse, to the music breakdown of En Vogue, it was legitimately all random. Synchronicity in action. Its also a great time capsule of Southern California afternoon television… moar Muppet Babies!
