New 30 Minute Video Reveals the Secrets of The Sound of Rogue One!
On a recent visit to Skywalker Sound in Northern California, the guys from Sound on Sound talked to Supervising Sound Editors Christopher Scarabosio and Matthew Wood about how they use sound to create the world of Star Wars, add realism to the weapons on screen, and how they brought life into the former Imperial security droid K2SO. Artist Ronni Brown and sound mixer Frank Aglieri-Rinella also reveal how they made the stormtroopers more menacing this time around. Hit the jump and watch this really cool 30 min. video about the sound of Rogue One…
From Sound on Sound:
Rogue One’s gritty, war film aesthetic is a real departure for the Star Wars franchise, and this realism is born out in the sound design. We visited the iconic Skywalker Sound to talk to Supervising Sound Editors Christopher Scarabosio and Matthew Wood about world creation, making sci-fi weapons sound realistic, and how some unexpected sampling brought K-2SO — the film’s sardonic and loveable droid — to life!
We also discover the secrets of Foley artist Ronni Brown and Foley Mixer Frank Aglieri-Rinella who reveal how they made the Rogue One stormtroopers sound more menacing.
