Description
In the Season Finale for Season 3, I chat with composer and songwriter Kevin Smithers, who has worked for many projects from HBO to Disney Channel, even video games, and most recently worked on Frankelda's Book of Spooks on MAX. We briefly talk about the differences between narrative composing for animation and composing video game music before diving into Frankelda's Book of Spooks and how his first collaboration with Cinema Fantasma led to it becoming a musical series. Plus we go back in time to talk about Kevin's world travels and the Disney films that inspired him to compose for animation. And as always, there's great advice about finding your people, not just networking.
