Conversations With Film Sound Legends
OCTOBER 23, 2019
Film sound legends Walter Murch (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now), Ben Burtt (Star Wars, Wall-E), Gary Rydstrom (Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan) and Making Waves director Midge Costin join Dolby Institute director Glenn Kiser in conversation before a live audience after the film’s premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. The wide-ranging discussion touches on the role of subjective sound in creative storytelling, why the sound of Wall-E’s voice made some people cry, and how famed director Francis Ford Coppola uses what he calls “silent take 6.”
