It seems that Pixar gets better with every film, and WALL-E is no exception. Directed by Andrew Stanton, the film mixes brings back the essence of silent film (though it is not) with romance, comedy and an underlying environmental message. A majority of the credit for WALL-E’s stardom goes to Ben Burtt, the film’s character voice designer and sound designer who also played the voice of WALL-E himself. Today at the Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael, CA, Burtt will present a special screening of the film and also take us into the process of creating sounds for the film. From demonstrating live sound effects and Foley dubbing to the electronic mixing and editing of sounds, Ben Burtt and some of his colleagues on the production (special guests maybe?) will entertain and illuminate us. Ben Burtt has also done the sound and editorial work on the Star Wars and Indiana Jones series.
