	Burtt
		It's not hard to find out that Burtt is 50 years old, a graduate of Allegheny College (Meadville, Pa.) with a physics degree, and the owner of four Academy Awards.
		Burtt experimented with the sound of flapping cloth and leather, but none of it struck a chord.
		Burtt can't really explain the genesis of his aural imagination, but he compares making sound to making music: You pay close attention to the world around you, then you sort of just hear it in your head.

	Silicon Valley Radio: Interview with Ben Burtt
		Burtt has gone pretty far since "The Window Washer" -- his first short made 38 years ago -- in which a toy soldier plunges off a high rise.
		While the voice was from actor James Earl Jones, the raspy breathing came from Burtt's own lungs -- fed through a microphone placed in a scuba-tank regulator.
		Special Effects, which Burtt directed, encompasses 100 years of cinematic history, and is a study of how the masters worked their celluloid magic.
