It was intended that the TIE should achieve the same effect." "They didn't serve any purpose except to create this noise, which would terrify people. "ln World War II, the super dive bombers had an artificially created siren wail created by air ducts," explains Joe Johnston, visual effects art director. I’d really put it in because I had no other altemative, but it got great reviews, so naturally it became the sound ofthe TIE fighters." "That was the greatest sound for those ships you could have possibly picked!" Of course, I was saying, "Oh yeah, of course". "One sound was the elephant shriek, the next one was a slowed-down World War II warbird, the next a processed jet or rocket."Īfter the screening was over, the only talk in the room was about that elephant swoosh sound. There was pressure to just get some temporary sound in for a screening, so I grabbed a random set of sounds I liked and cut in a different one each time a TIE fighter zoomed by," continues Burtt.
#HOW BEN BURTT CREATED THE LIGHTSABER SOUND EFFECT TRIAL#
"The gunport sequence came along with the first trial shots of actual TIEs in motion.
"When we did temp mixes and played it back for the crew at Park Way, I would take advantage of the fresh audience, because the editors hadn't heard anything with sound," Burtt explains. "I took that sound still thinking that I was making a laser of some kind." The key "a-ha" moment occurred during temp track auditions, as shots started coming in from ILM of the gunport sequence. "Swoosh, the car would come by, and you heard this car plowing through the water," he says. But it wasn't quite right, so Burtt took the sound of the elephant and mixed it with pass-bys he'd recorded of cars during a rainstorm as they sped through puddles in front of a motel where he was staying (a pass-by is when a vehicle comes toward the viewer, passes by, and then speeds away).
