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.
Best sound mixing oscar winner 2004 upgrade#
"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.
