We’re taking you behind the music at San Diego Comic-Con! Join us as we sit down with film and TV composers Ed Goldfarb, Claudia Sarne, and Trey Toy to talk about their creative processes, their work on some of today’s most popular projects, and how music brings unforgettable stories and characters to life. From Pokémon to Supergirl and Castlevania: Nocturne, this is a must-watch for fans of film, television, and the magic of crafting music! Thanks to BMI and White Bear for inviting us out.

From unforgettable themes to emotional character moments, music has always been a huge part of what makes Pokémon such a special experience. It was a pleasure interviewing Ed Goldfarb about his work composing for the Pokémon franchise! 

Music has the power to completely transform a story, and it was an absolute pleasure talking with Claudia Sarne about composing the score for Supergirl. We discussed how she approached the film’s music, the emotion behind her compositions, and the role the score plays in bringing the story to life!

A great score doesn’t just support the action, it helps define the characters! It was a pleasure interviewing Trey Troy about composing the music for Castlevania, where we discussed his creative process, why strong character development is essential to shaping a memorable score, and how music evolves alongside the story to deepen every emotional moment!
