Graduate Cawood's work wins Best Picture
December 15, 2008
Look for alumnus Dustin Cawood's name in the credits of the Los Angeles
Film Critics Association choice for Best Picture of the Year, WALL-E.
Cawood, a former communication major at UTC, works at Skywalker sound in
pre-production or post-production of movies in sound design and sound
editing.
In the movie WALL*E, the story of a charming, forgotten robot who finds
a new mission, Cawood took the role of Sound Effects Editor. It was
offered by Multiple Academy Award winner Ben Burtt. Considered a
pioneer in the business, Burtt is the first person to be credited with
the term "Sound Designer" as a result of his groundbreaking work in the
original Star Wars movie. Burtt was the Sound Designer on WALL*E, and
as Sound Editor, Cawood took direction from Burtt.
