#Best sound mixing oscar upgrade#

The 70mm Dolby stereo A Type six-track mix is something special with lots of scary moments and the usage of sound played the roll very well keeping you tense and your hearing picking up all the small sounds with an uneasy feeling. Posted on Wednesday, J20:10 GMT'Aliens' Oscar winner for best sound effects editing 'Don Sharpe' took theġ986 award home along with visual effects that went to 'Stan Winston' who will as worked for Jim many times. The film had exclusive presentation in 70mm six-track Dolby stereo A type with split-stereo surrounds at around the time THX cinemas where getting geared up.

īill Conti's Oscar winning score is moving, with artistic use of 'Holst the planets' edited into this American classic also liked by us British folks too.Īnd the first test pilots chosen for the space program or the race between the USSR was indeed on, with problems tying to get the rockets to fly was a engineering challenge, and for the test pilots looking at what they will be flying was a nervous thing seeing them exploded on the launch pad or partly into flight.Īny way this is a total classic that makes you want to go on but running in at 184mins is long enough, and there are a plenty of demonstration scenes in this film well the whole film from quite sounds with lots of details in the mix to loud sounds with huge rockets launching off the pad into outer space. 'The Right Stuff' winner of 4 academy awards 1983 film, best sound effects editing, best achievement in sound, best film editing, and best musical score, this has got the right stuff of sound mixing too it and not even dated, with the Bell X-1 with test pilot Chuck' Yeager, USAF, became the first pilot to fly faster than sound, and blasting across the screen from left to right from centre and softly in the mains though to the centre back surround and down the sides left front to the left side surrounds and feeling the sonic boom on the all channels including the L.F.E, this film just keeps pushing the outside of the envelope.

The third was a 70mm six-track Dolby stereo road show release, this was sent to the cinemas capable of showing wide format film star wars was the first Dolby stereo film to use what was called 'Baby Boom' this sub bass track played over two of the magnetic tracks on the 70mm print, with four tracks for left centre right screen channels where the dynamic range gave greater realism with sound effects, music sounded more natural, the last remaining track the mono surround gave flybys swooping over the audiences heads and ducking for cover, a whole new meaning to motion picture sound.

'Star Wars' was one of the first successful 'Dolby stereo' films released in three types one was a Dolby stereo' optical 35mm release print which was a new matrix format the second one was a mono mix for cinemas that had not made the upgrade change, where differences like deleting parts of sound effects or dialogue. If the opening had failed to grab the audience at that point, the films impact may have been flatted, how ever as it turned out it was, a crowning achievement that would gain 7 Academy awards best, sound achievement, sound effects editing, music, costumes, art-decoration, editing and visual effects. In no order of category I'll start of with 'Star Wars' with a tremendous score opening by 'John Williams' soaring across the screen and around the cinema, with a 'Flash Gordon' type style opening, with the camera tilting downwards upon a planet with the string movement and the sound of what appears to be a spaceship blasting from the right side of the screen, closely followed by a huge spaceship filling the screen with thundering 'Baby Boom' sub bass sound pounding you in the chest and shaking the seats.
