Talk:Sound Ideas, RICOCHET - CARTOON RICCO 03/@comment-26104212-20170831104122

In case you wonder, Skywalker Sound uses a particular sound effects cluster that features this sound. The original cluster was this sound in -12 pitch combined with a descending roar/hum, which is heard a few times when Jabba The Hutt's palace explodes in Return of the Jedi, namely when the explosion is most massive; this cluster is used for ships beaming into hyperspace too. This cluster quickly became part of a more common Skywalker SFX cluster in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, in the shot when the sacrifice--already on fire--is engulfed by more fire; it starts with a loud whoosh, followed by a lion roar that blends into the aforementioned cluster with the -12 pitch WB ricochet, along with some whooshing sounds. This cluster is heard in many Skysound projects like Frequency, Mission: Impossible (1996), Young Indiana Jones (such as Attack of the Hawkemn when a biplane dives and explodes), Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, and others. How I found this out? By playing this sound in Windows XP Movie Maker by slowing the video down, which plays the sound -12, or speeding a video using the -12 pitch version, which plays the sound in its original pitch. I also note that Ben Burtt tends to use this ricochet and also many processed and/or pitched variants for his works. #skywalkersound #soundmatters #sounddesign
