The score was recorded with a string orchestra, to bring out the tender and emotional writing. In the booth, Giacchion was aided by scoring mixer Joel Iwataki, score coordinator Andrea Datzman, music editor Alex Levy, ProTools recordist Vinny Cirilli. Director Shawn Levy was also on hand to give feedback.
