Ben Burtt's work is interesting because
even though it stays across a few genre's
there are strange outliers. Such as WALL-
E and Lincoln. But even with an animated
movie and a historical drama in his
Filmography the theme across all these
movies is this epic cinematic Events and
uses sound and music to tell stories
within calm shots of the movie. Learning
how he came up with methods of using
unrelated sounds to bring high fantasy
elements in movies to life is inspiring and
very interesting.
