277. Interview | SUPERGIRL Music Editor Nevin Seus

Today, I interview Nevin Seus, one of the music editors of SUPERGIRL!A 20-year-veteran in Hollywood, he's no stranger to DC projects, working on MAN OF STEEL, BATMAN V. SUPERMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE.However, this newest project represents a different challenge for him, given that composer Claudia Sarne (THE BOOK OF ELI, TRIPLE 9) had only six weeks to deliver a full score. For Seus, that means whatever pieces Sarne provided needed to be distilled into its clearest and most impactful form, ASAP.Sometimes, this means stripping a scene entirely of music. In others, it means suggesting accents to give a fight scene more weight or hunting down the synthesizer that'd distinguish a space alien's presence in the score.During much of this interview, I try to break down what it means to work as a music editor, list the responsibilities entailed. I think we do an honorable job, but I get the impression from Seus that a mere 30 minutes won't even crack the pavement on this subject. It's a multifaceted job for those dedicated to infusing stories with the right details, the essential musical backbone that makes movies magical.SUPERGIRL is now available to watch in, likely, any and every theater you can find.---Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Throw a couple dollars in the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tip jar!
