Sound Designer - Ben Burtt
WHO IS HE?
Ben Burtt is mostly famous for his work on Star Wars. His most notable
achievement being the hum of the lightsaber used in the films. To make
the sound of the lightsaber Burtt cleverly paired the sound of a film
projector and with the feedback from a broken television. He also
created the sound of Vaders breathing which was made by him recording
his own breathing into and old scuba regulator. The sounds you hear from
RD-D2 in the movies are actually produced by his voice and edited.
