Ben Burtt
Ben Burtt is known for is Sound designer works in Wall-E, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, & Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. When making sounds in his earlier work, he would use more natural sounds, blending “found sounds” to create the effects. For example for lightsabers, he would use a film director idling combined with a feedback from a broken TV set, and the blaster effect started with the sound from hitting a guy-wire on a radio tower with a hammer. Burtt was known to also put the “Willhelm Scream” in his works.
