Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie

Award winning composer Theodore Shapiro talks about recording the score for DreamWorks Animation’s Captain Underpants in Studio One:

‘As a composer, having a big orchestra in Studio One at Abbey Road, all playing together, is as thrilling as it gets. The acoustics are magnificent, with a gorgeous reverb and without muddiness. The musicians say that they can hear each other very well in that room, and the result is you get a true ensemble performance. You can feel the energy of that in the recording. There’s nowhere I’d rather record my music.’

The score was recorded by engineer Chris Fogel, assisted by Abbey Road’s John Barrett and Matt Jones. Catch the film in the UK from 28 July and watch the trailer and clips here.
