A Look Into Bear McCreary's Creative Process
Emmy-nominated composer<a href="http://www.visualmusicartists.com.biobear.html”> Bear McCreary discusses how he created the opening title music, including his collaboration with writer/director Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption) and producer Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator). <a href="http://www.visualmusicartists.com.“>Visual Music creative director <a href="http://www.visualmusicartists.com.bio.html”>Tom Seufert works with McCreary on commercial projects and felt it would be helpful to inform entertainment professionals about the video: “Bear McCreary Sessions: ‘The Walking Dead.'”
At the age of 24,<a href="http://www.visualmusicartists.com.biobear.html”> Bear McCreary was launched into pop culture with his score to Sci Fi Channel’s hit, “Battlestar Galactica.” Four seasons and seventy-five episodes later, Galactica is universally revered, having won the prestigious Peabody Award and special recognition from the United Nations. McCreary’s many other credits include Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, Eureka, Caprica, Trauma, and The Cape while his videogame credits include Sony’s successful “SOCOM 4: U.S. NAVY SEALS.”
Attending the prestigious Thorton School of Music at USC, Bear completed degrees in composition and the recording arts, but his practical professional training came from film music legend Elmer Bernstein (The Magnificent Seven, The Ten Commandments). McCreary was one of Bernstein’s select proteges and learned the tools of the trade working with and orchestrating for the maestro.

A&G’s New Third Space Studios Fills A Community Gap
A&G's (Allen & Gerritsen) new Third Space Studios is not just a full-service production offering for the creative agency.
