On Tuesday, ABC News Features debuted a new documentary called The Force of Sound. But, director Rian Johnson had to clarify to sound designer Ren Klyce exactly what he meant when he used that word. Let ’em know we sent you.The definition of the word “vacuum” helped create the most memorable scene in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Just tell them you’re on a field trip to collect all the sounds for the Falcon’s hyperdrive. Rattling water pipes from inside Lucasfilm’s office, circa 1980.
I’m sure the army would be thrilled to let you come in and record some audio. So you might need a time machine to find a working one-but once you’ve got that, it’s a piece of cake. I’ll confess: I’m not sure exactly sure what Burtt is referring to, but it’s possible he’s talking about a motor used to generate an electrical current for an arc lamp? While arc lighting is still in use, the equipment he’s recording here probably dates back to earlier in the 20th century. The sound of an arc light motor stopping and starting. Next time you go in to get a filling, just whip out your smartphone and record that sucker (pun intended).
Everybody has one of these lying around, right? Check your backyard.Īn airjet from a dentist’s office. Just acquire these super “easy-to-find” audio sources: The good news is you can make your very own failing-hyperdrive noise, thanks to an old video of Burtt that resurfaced on the Internet recently. The latter noise is a perfect example of Burtt’s skills, because most of these sounds aren’t simply a single effect, but rather a whole collection of sounds layered on top of one another. Ben Burtt is the man responsible for creating much of the franchise’s iconic audio and effects - everything from the snap-hiss of a lightsaber to the sound of the Millennium Falcon’s hyperdrive failing. But none of that would make quite so much of an impact if it weren’t for the sound. Star Wars is a visual experience, to be sure, filled with glowing lightsabers, strange aliens, and amazing outer space dogfights. But more important is what it signifies: that space travel in the Star Wars universe isn’t just for the elite… Lucasfilm
Nobody’s about to duplicate the Millennium Falcon, the modified YT-1300 light freighter piloted by Han Solo.
