Bowers, known for his work on “King Richard” and “Green Book,” crafted a score that captures the emotional journey of Roz, a robot striving to connect with animals. He drew inspiration from early sketches and personal experiences, including fatherhood, to compose the film’s music. Bowers credits John Williams for teaching him how to create memorable musical themes and reflects on the influence of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who mentored him to always strive for excellence in his craft. The Oscars ceremony will be held on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
In a recent interview, Bowers emphasized the unique challenges of composing for animated films, which often require continuous music to match the dynamic visuals. He also highlighted the importance of creating memorable themes that resonate with audiences, a lesson he attributes to legendary composer John Williams. Additionally, Bowers reflected on advice from the late Kobe Bryant, who encouraged him to continually strive for excellence in his work.

See it now in browser- not on the St 32 app.
I don't see Sergei's link in the phone app, but I can see it in my comment in the app, Kerry Kennard.

How do you acquire the film clips with dialog without the original score for the purpose of re-scoring?

Expand commentShawn Donahoo, Hello, there are videos like that on YouTube. I also open movies in a video editor that have separate tracks for Blu-ray, AC-3, and you can try to extract the required tracks from there, but it's not always possible. That's why I often have to re-record the audio myself. Typically, the music track is present in all channels, so I have to manually separate it. There might be other solutions, but this is the way I do it.
