Carlsson, a Swedish educator, this Web siteis an excellent source of information about that one element of filmmakingthat is sometimes overlooked due to its ubiquity: sound. Persons curious toread a brief overview of film sound will want to start with an essay titled"An Introduction to Film Sound," by Jane Knowles Marshall. After this, theymay want to look over the glossary on the right-hand side of the main page,which features definitions and explanations of terms such as "Ambience,""Foley," and "Production Sound." The sites other highlights include numerousessays by Oscar-winning sound designer Walter Murch (who won for _TheEnglish Patient_ and _Apocalypse Now_) and Randy Thom (who won for _TheRight Stuff_ and has been nominated six times in total). Along with otheressays on the use of sound in Indian cinema and the history of film sound,there are 10 essays (and sound samples) on the use of sound and sound effectdesign in the _Star Wars_ trilogy. Visitors may be particularly interestedto learn that the language of the Ewoks was created by altering and layeringTibetan, Mongolian, and Nepali languages.
