When not working on television, McCreary also composes soundtracks for independent movies.

			==Composing the Series Finale==
			The nearly 100-minute score for "[[Daybreak, Part I]]" and "[[Daybreak, Part II]]" represents what McCreary described as potentially "The Battlestar Galactica Symphony." With all thematic material firmly established in previous episodes, McCreary took this opportunity to develop themes further than ever before, combining, fracturing, distorting, elongating, inverting and augmenting them in rewarding ways.<ref name="daybreak">{{cite web \|url=https://bearmccreary.com/bg4-daybreak-pt-2/ \|title=BG4: "Daybreak, Parts I & II" \|author=Bear McCreary \|date=March 20, 2008 \|access-date=July 26, 2025}}</ref>

			===Unique Compositional Process===
			Unlike his typical approach of scoring the most difficult scenes first, McCreary felt such intense creative pressure for the finale that he knew he had to change his method. He began with the very first cue and proceeded chronologically through the entire episode, completing the monumental task in a "blistering and virtually sleepless sixteen days." The process became so overwhelming that he made himself a checklist of every major theme he wanted to appear in the finale and marked them off as he wrote.<ref name="daybreak"/>

			===Unprecedented Collaboration===
			When budget constraints threatened to limit the orchestral scope of the finale, McCreary and the producers took an unprecedented step. In a move that "basically never happens" in television production, they personally pooled their financial resources to fund the full orchestral score. Contributors included [[Ronald D. Moore]], [[David Eick]], [[Jane Espenson]], [[Michael Taylor]], [[Bradley Thompson]], [[David Weddle]], Todd Sharp, Paul M. Leonard, and McCreary himself.<ref name="daybreak"/>

			===Mathematical Precision in Music===
			McCreary worked closely with the series' science advisor [[Kevin Grazier]] to create a mathematically valid method for deriving stellar navigation coordinates from the [[Final Four Theme]]. Using a diatonic scale system where each note corresponds to its scale degree (1 through 7), McCreary developed a system that someone with [[Kara Thrace]]'s musical background would intuitively understand. The process became so complex that McCreary began to empathize with Kara as she struggled to crack the code in the music.<ref name="daybreak"/>

			===Editorial Innovation===
			In another unprecedented move for television scoring, McCreary requested that editors re-cut the coordinate derivation sequence to match his music rather than the other way around. Working directly with editor Andy Seklir and co-producer Paul Leonard, McCreary sat in the editing room and showed them exactly where he envisioned each musical note hitting, resulting in perfect synchronization between the music and [[Kara Thrace]]'s finger movements on the keypad.<ref name="daybreak"/>

			===The Only New Theme===
			According to McCreary, the [[Final Four Theme]] (which he initially called the "Flashback Theme" and later re-titled the "Earth Theme") was the only new melodic idea he wrote for "Daybreak." The rest of the massive score was comprised entirely of variations and developments of familiar themes with already established meaning, making it a true culmination of the series' musical journey.<ref name="daybreak"/>
