REDMOND, WASH. – June 17, 2013 –
In the first episode of Microsoft’s new film series “On the
Whiteboard,” Editor Pamela Woon chats with two-time Oscar winner Randy
Thom about the (often underestimated) importance of sound in
human-technology interactions.
Thom, the lead sound designer at Skywalker Ranch who worked on films such as The Incredibles, Castaway and Forrest Gump,
says that people rarely consider the significance of those signature
sounds that come from their trusty devices, whether it be a cell phone, a
computer or a tablet.
“A lot of these gadgets and pieces of technology we use become almost
like friends to us, and we expect our friends to have voices,” Thom
says.
About the series
The whiteboard is the place of origin for some of technology’s biggest
ideas and most compelling stories, and with this new film series, the
focus is on just that – the stories, ideas, people, places and things
that make Microsoft tick. These micro documentaries will take viewers
behind the curtain, but also to the intersection of culture and
technology, Woon explains.
