Film Scoring Observation

Earlier this month, Wildflower Composers alums met with Philly-based film composer, Will Blair of Blair Brothers Studios. Our composers were able to observe the film scoring process up close by taking a look at some of Will’s scores, sharing their own scores and ideas, and discussing amongst the group.

Hear what a few of our alums had to say about this experience:

Anagha Kapsi (‘21) said,

“I had a wonderful time at the film scoring observation with Will Blair! It was fascinating to see the studio and how all the music technology works. It felt like we were getting the chance to see the behind-the-scenes of film scoring. Mr. Blair was very informative and passionate about his craft. We also got to present some of our film-scoring and receive his feedback. It was a day full of new experiences. After the observation, I was definitely left more inspired and informed about the methods and fundamentals of film scoring. I look forward to future observation sessions like this!”

Sophia Schiffer (‘19, ‘20) said,

I am so grateful that I got to experience a behind the scenes taste of what it is like to work in film scoring! Film and TV is a musical direction I have always strongly considered, and taking a close look at Will Blair's work, getting his feedback on one of my short scores, and having deep conversations with other Wildflower participants was a truly inspiring and empowering experience. Thank you so much Erin and Will!

Thank you, Blair Brothers Studios! We had a great time, and learned so much.
