In-Depth Interview LucasFilm Sound Designer, Tom Myers–DD035

This week I sit down with three-time Academy Award nominated Tom Myers, who is a supervising sound editor at Skywalker Sound, the sound editing division at LucasFilm. For the interview, I traveled up to George Lucas' inner secret sanctum: Skywalker Ranch. Listen and hear about all of the incredible sights I experienced on the ranch.

Tom Myers has worked on projects ranging from classic Pixar films like Monsters Inc. to Walt Disney Imagineering projects like Soarin' Over California. The stories and insight he provides allows for a look into an area of production that audiences rarely consider. The experience of sitting down with Tom was one that is only comparable to my interview with Joe Rohde.
