How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)
Book Origins
In April of 2021, John Powell expressed interest in releasing an expanded soundtrack for How To Train Your Dragon 2 simultaneously with an accompanying study score. Once Batu Sener (John’s assistant) uploaded the files, I instructed my good friend, Joel Kreimeyer-Kelly, to prep all the cues by importing Omni’s house style. I went to John’s studio, where Batu helped immensely, making editing decisions based on handwritten notes in the conductor score. I spent the remainder of the year finessing the files, and pre-orders opened up on January 4th, 2022.
