Princess Bride Lightsaber Battle

By Top Star Wars Toys, May 21, 2010 Star Wars Videos

 

Inigo vs. The Six Fingered Man…but with lightsabers. DiLeo’s first attempt at rotoscoping. Uploaded 5/7/08
Video Rating: 4 / 5

 

Ben Burtt talks about creating the sounds for the lightsabers in Star Wars. As he worked on “A New Hope”, Burtt probably wasn’t aware that he was inventing modern sound design.

@Crit0 Does it cost money? I went to the site, but I don’t understand it yet. Do you have to pay for it or are there things you don’t have to pay for?

technically, the plasma at that temperature of the lightsaber would have cottorized his wounds…they wouldn’t be bleeding…but still epic stuff…

“… You killed my father, prepare….”
“No Igino, I AM your father!”
“What? No your not!”

Nice. I’ve always wondered how they came up with the sound for them.

May 22, 2010

not true. feedback is that but it does not get louder. it keeps the same tone. and when he was moving the microphone around he had the microphone recording, not coming out of the speaker he was waving it in front of. what was coming out of the speaker was the sound of the still lightsaber

No

Disney’s Sleeping Beauty was the first movie to use Stereo Sound.

Ben you’re a genius!!! I wish i could be as creative as you. what a fun job you have.

So what they did was quite revolutionary even though they didn’t quite “invent Stereophonic sound in cinemas”

jmalmsten

May 22, 2010

Wellll… not quite… Stereo had been dabbled with before. And in large-format-cinema multichannel-audio was pretty much the norm since the ginormous screens where introduced.

What Lucas and his pals did was to device a way to get stereo-sound that would play as stereo on a normal sound-pickup and for those theaters with the decoders, that same signal would be decoded to 4channel-surround-sound. And I think that the same track could also be played on a mono-theatre.

Awesome! I am an aspiring sound designer/producer and the clip at the end where he is swinging the microphone around was an awesome way of showing me and helping me with different ways of recording sound!
5 Stars!
