Witnessing a behind-the-scenes moment like this, coming from people who really are in this business environment, is invaluable! Thank you so much Guy! I looked for where to send a super chat or a donation but I couldn't find it. You should create a Patron or something.
Thanks so much for sharing your process. Changing the meter is such a simple but powerful "hack". I've had the pleasure of scoring a few short films (under 20 minutes), and was really challenged to sync key hits with action. When I get another scoring opportunity, I'll remember this little trick!
That was pure magic! I have done a bit of this myself so appreciate the amount of work it is, but also how fun and rewarding it can be. I have never seen anyone else do this so was thrilled to watch how professional you are Guy!
Great video as always and btw congratulations on the gig, really great to see how you’re capable of so many genres which is also encouraging for beginners, showing that you don’t have to write just one style of music.
Hugely inspiring to see Guy doing actual work on a real show - thank you. Humbly, I reckon I could do this job, but I hear so many stories about the extremely short timeframes to turnaround music for tv and film that it terrifies me. So further kudos, for bravely pushing forward in the screen composer world. Happy to take feedback on how composers handle the timeframes and keep sane.
I remember when some short clips company sent me a 5minutes video to sound design it (first time for me) it took me almost 2 days, I imagine doing a 23 episodes film of more than 45 minutes each...RESPECT MAN
Wow!! What a great peak behind the curtain of scoring for animation. Oddly enough, just this morning I had Carl Stalling's Merry Melodies tunes going through my head in the jukebox of my mind, so this video is very timely indeed. As always, Guy, you never cease to amaze me with your well-developed skills along with your cheeky banter. Lovely video, my friend! Cheers!
My 6 y daughter watched this show the other day, and all of a sudden a familiar name popped up on the credits! -Gotta check out this show, I thought. An boom - you made a great video about it! Thanx a lot! :)
I found it really enlightening when you explained the timings I.e. one episode =22 minutes of music which = approx 1 week of work. So often I see YT videos that give the impression these pieces are composed/ mixed/ delivered in an afternoon......this leaves people like me feeling helpless not being able to compose like that. But your comments reassure me that this process, if done properly, takes time!
Your videos are so invaluable...thank you so much for taking the time to produce them. You are a magnificent composer and a humble, wise human being. Very glad I found your channel a while back!
Great video Guy! Please put out more of these actual scoring tutorials of more of your recent projects like you did in the past with that Lasssie scoring tutorial, those action scene scoring tutorials and a few more. keep 'em coming! Cheers!
I´m discovering your channel right now and i must say your work flow and aproch are amazing. I loved when you said you wont go out of the referencial stuff and go for something fresh that goes with the intention, also when you talked about have a backup of sound designs that are usefull for a lot of situations (you´re right, that saves a lot of time and gives it to the creative process). So in short terms im glad to see your work! I´m also a composer from Argentina by the way, i´m a rookie in this thing of scoring and i love meeting colleagues from all the globe. Hope to keep knowing about your work! (sorry about any english mistake that i might done)
Man I loved this so much, thank you for letting us into your process and how it can work. I am two years into my writing/studio ownership career and i found this so helpful and really enjoyable to watch. Ive subscribed and can't wait to catch more content. Hopefully catch you in a session one day!
Great video! My 7yr old daughter just started watching Kitti Katz last week. I'll pay attention to the score when she is watching it now that I know you were behind it! Cheers!
I really love this format ! I would love to see more of the hands on behind the scene look at actual projects and the work through of it! Please keep doing these! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Very informative and a great indepth look. I'm at the end of the production company sending the Netflix production to a sound technician, so I know what I have to prepare and what I have to do once everything is delivered, but you rarely get a peek inside the kitchen ;)
I consider myself a decent producer. I could not imagine how to even attack something like this. Especially with the pressure of Netflix and their expectations
Lovely video! Thank you for sharing your work process and insights. Background scoring is a totally different game than regular music production. I can relate with a lot of techniques that you utilise in your work. Although it feels super overwhelming at times, the final product with all the elements is totally worth the effort. Looking forward to more videos from you! Subscribed! 🦋
Absolutely loved this kind of behind the scenes content for scoring animation (presumably scoring film is along the same lines) Great content as always. Would love to see more of this kind of stuff!
Feature films and full length documentaries you score one cue at a time - the end to end strategy is definitely for fast turnover stuff like episodic animation
Again, I'm very impressed. I just watched a little bit of the video on Netflix. A bit weird to hear the Dutch voices. So, switched to the original English. Thanks for sharing and explaining how you work. It's very inspiring!
The beat bar change is an amazing trick. And I'm surprised, I thought that an OST included several musical themes that were used for each particular situation with different variations.
This may be the best thing I’ve seen you do. Nice Work !!! There is nothing that beats the credibility of seeing actual work, and feeling like you’re getting an honest behind the scenes look at the real deal. Thank you Soooo much for sharing this !
Thank you Guy for your enthusiasm and knowledge. You have helped my continuing sonic journey. I have no chance of getting to your level, but I refound my love for creating original music.
Cool video Guy, thanks! I've had the pleasure of assisting/orchestrating for Jordan Kamalu this past year on the Netflix Jr. series Spirit Rangers, and it has been an absolute blast. Everyone on the Netflix team has been great to work with, and Jordan is an amazing composer. For Spirit Rangers, we use a pretty standard "film orchestra" - all samples of course. We recorded our own library of native sounds and licks to drop in - different flutes, chants, drums, etc. It's a great idea on a project like these, which can easily span 100+ episodes! Each episode of Spirit Rangers is comprised of two 15-minute halves, meaning in just the first two seasons, Jordan has already scored 40 different episodes! Here's a question for you that I haven't seen asked much in the comments - why are you choosing to work linearly instead of breaking the episode into cues? We host all of our samples in Vienna Ensemble Pro, so switching between cues in Cubase is a matter of seconds. To me, one of the primary benefits of working in cues this way is that when (never if hahaha) we get feedback or the animation cut inevitably changes by some frames, we don't have to worry about messing up the entire session by making tweaks to tempo, meter, etc. Plus, we get to start with a clean CC slate every cue, instead of having to deal with 15 minutes worth of hanging CC values by the end of the episode. Thanks for taking the time to make informative and entertaining videos.
I do a lot of the same concepts as an editor. When I have people send me projects, sometimes they don't really have a lot of direction with it. I start off by going through all the audio (sound bites, stems, main track) and visual (A roll and B roll) to see what I'm working with. I then will note out points that add to the video and stuff that is just boring and lose attention. Next I build up the sequences and focus on how each section adds to the full sequence. A lot of brainstorming and communicating to get the final product out. Thanks for sharing!
My daughter is binging this series, so I was so surprised to see it come up here as well :"D, will be listening to the series much more intently now ;)
@@ThinkSpaceEducation I've only ever experienced writing music to animation in games, short cut scenes, and full pieces for game play. Cartoons sound intense and very demanding. I do hope it rewards you well.
iam a dubbing director and we are the last link in the chain. I always asked myself how is the workflow before. We just get the M&E (Music and effects) and O-tone Voices from the production company. When i add your time to our time and imagine the time and money of the authors, animators, actors, foley artists before. its crazy that the watching time is so fast ... and its easy to make a hasty verdict. since them iam very careful with bad critisim on films and serials. The effort that was put inside a production deserves respect! Greetings from Berlin
I'm curious to know, did you attend any school or have formal training to start your career? Also, how did your journey begin? From the outside, it looks like you have a lot of experience and your work is really impressive. Could you share how you got started and how your career evolved
Good idea with Patron, as Michel Barbaro mentions. I can't remember how I found you but it has to be something about Cubase, Orchestral or something. You're the best.
The changing meter idea is used in almost every film score I have. At first just looking at these score, I'm asking "Why?" but then looking at the film it becomes easy to match the hit points which answers that question by putting film & score in sync. What I don't see much of are retards and accelerandos. Tempo changes often occur on completely different scene changes. Really great to see Guy putting this together.
This is so excellent. Thanks for making it! If you're down for requests, I'd love to know how you made the sounds, beats, etc., i.e. what synths, samples, loops, live players, etc. you used.
Check more of my music for the series here! on.soundcloud.com/wU8uc
Why did they not give you a credit though? I'd be devastated :(
Ignore me. I see it. Don't know why I wanted or needed the satisfaction to see it. :D
Might be a big bairn and watch it. :)
@@dilzaaaa :) Always get a credit but TBH the IMDB one matters most
I see you with those Barely Alive samples lol 😂
Witnessing a behind-the-scenes moment like this, coming from people who really are in this business environment, is invaluable! Thank you so much Guy! I looked for where to send a super chat or a donation but I couldn't find it. You should create a Patron or something.
👍This "guy" is the best!
Good idea!
man, being in tune with this sort of a show must be hard. mad respect for persevering through this, you're a pro.
I thought id be rolling my eyes at you making tense high strings everywhere but the direction you took it is actually really original and creative
This is an unexpected peek-behind-the-curtains. Thank you!
enjoy
Big respect for the detailed work that composers do!
This is such a good look into something I’m thinking about getting into. You have been such a valuable resource to me here. Thank you, man ❤
Oh my, now I have to watch the show to see (hear) everything you have done to bring the animation to the next level. Excellent tutorial.
Love this "behind the scenes" stuff of an actual show! More please...
I love this realistic talk/advice about what should be expected and what your expectations should be going into this side of composition!
Thanks so much for sharing your process. Changing the meter is such a simple but powerful "hack". I've had the pleasure of scoring a few short films (under 20 minutes), and was really challenged to sync key hits with action. When I get another scoring opportunity, I'll remember this little trick!
Yup saves a lot of time
This is my dream job!!! Definitely subscribing!!
Love these kinds of videos! Would love to see more of these!
I have to clear them with the network and get the channel whitelisted first so it takes some organising!
That was pure magic! I have done a bit of this myself so appreciate the amount of work it is, but also how fun and rewarding it can be. I have never seen anyone else do this so was thrilled to watch how professional you are Guy!
Great video as always and btw congratulations on the gig, really great to see how you’re capable of so many genres which is also encouraging for beginners, showing that you don’t have to write just one style of music.
It was real fun but hard work!
perfect timing for me as i'm just about to start scoring my animated short for my masters degree. very helpful and amazing as always, Guy!
This is my dream job. Thank you for sharing this

Thank you! Stalling vs Scott Bradley? I go Bradley every time
I can't believe such a valuable resource like yourself is freely available. absolutely fascinating, thank you!
This is by far one of the coolest videos ive seen in a long time. Tickled my music brain
My 6 y daughter watched this show the other day, and all of a sudden a familiar name popped up on the credits! -Gotta check out this show, I thought. An boom - you made a great video about it! Thanx a lot! :)
Ha! You're welcome
Guy - you make some awesome tutorials, but imo, this video is one of the best. It is so useful and informative. Thank you.

We need more of this! Really really grateful for making this video and posting it here! 😊
I'll do my best - getting material whitelisted aint always easy!
I really love this format ! I would love to see more of the hands on behind the scene look at actual projects and the work through of it! Please keep doing these! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
do my best
Please do more videos like this! And more for games? Love your vids 😍
Thanks Guy. Appreciate your time on this stuff!!! What a fun gig! Congrats!
This is the next level for a music producer in my opinion
Thank you Guy so much for this lifting the lid somewhat. You and Christian help to give an understanding of what goes on to put music fx to film.
You're welcome!
Wow, I am so happy that I now have this BTS insight into how all of this happens. Thank you very much.
Very cool to see, thanks! Would love to see a livestream while you are working on one of these episodes just to see the creative progress.
Excellent video. Thanks for this behind the scenes peek. Sounds fantastic too!

Wow....that's hard work...with a lot of creativity. Mr. Guy, congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏
May Beethoven bless you, Guy.
This truly was useful.
Synthwave with Egyptian notes is something I never thought id hear but I gladly welcome it
Thank you Guy, this was great to watch and learn!
I was watching Kitti Katz with my daughter and I saw your name pop up on the credits. Synthtastic score
Love the chase and transition at 17.00. Exhausting coming up with so many themes.
Your work is always so inspiring Mr Guy. Amazing.
Thank you

Fantastic stuff! I appreciate how much effort you put into explaining everything!
That's a heck of a workload. Great to see the process. More, please.
Yup animation is a hamster wheel
@@ThinkSpaceEducation I've only ever experienced writing music to animation in games, short cut scenes, and full pieces for game play. Cartoons sound intense and very demanding. I do hope it rewards you well.
The amount of ideas you have to have in a 20 minute episode is nuts. I would get brain fog and be frustrated very often
Quite amazing how a good score can transform a scene.
Keep telling my clients that!
Best music score teacher ever 🎉
Amazing work a masterpiece
