Must Read: Bear McCreary’s recap of “Revelations”

Started by Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago

We totally love Bear McCreary here at Pop Critics, mostly because the work he does on Battlestar Galactica is astounding, but a tiny bit is also because he did a nice interview with us not too long ago.

Glad you are helping to raise awareness of the role and importance of musical scores in tv and films Mike. This is fantastic to help people understand that it is not just another part of the canvas that the story is painted upon, but it is actually some of the strokes and color that helps to breathe life into the story itself. I'm also glad that Bear is willing to share his creative process and insights as he does - this is a great education process for the average viewer.

Exactly Ape...amazing stuff. I mean, you watch so many shows and the music in the background could have been composed by typing into a computer something like "Funny + romance + teen drama" and out pops a score they can use.

In other words, most stuff out there feels so generic.

But Bear puts so much of his life and effort into this show...it's seriously 50% of why the show is so good.

And his recaps are amazing...that much detail to explain the process...it has to be educational for others out there looking to do the same thing.
