I used to think surround sound was pretty damn cool until I found out about binaural audio, of course you need some headphones but that shit is crazy!

[runningrabbit07]

What is with the pop up wording? So much for usability.

[Vesemir520Cz]

MEEEEEDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!!!­

[Mal1234567]

Fifty Percent Grey must have been a complete fail because it was removed by user

[mariobros1045]

YES! THE THX EXPLODED!

[gas7119]

not bad! Like the one guy said, watch for clipping, combined elements add to your overall dB. What version of PT are you running?

[LossOfEternal]

Good Job dude

[brodazunino]

No one knows where to download this Video in High Quality?

[Shadowcloud1]

lol sound in space? damn technology is soo good these days.. soon we'll be able to breath in space!

[A5runner]

don't stick around to the end

[brodazunino]

Where I can download this Intro in High Quality (At least 720p)?

[therealgreatqball]

George Lucas would have loved this.

[Namynnuz]

O. M. G.

C'mon, guys. Did you know smth about mixing?

Looks like u've never heard about overloads, non-linear perception of LAFC (really logarithmic, aha?)... In fact, you don't need to read a lot to heard the mistakes. Everything you need to know - basics of mixing. And, sure, heard superposed freqs.

P.S. And don't use so much comp, RMS is so high, dynamic range is close. And u kill all attack.

P.P.S. And nothing 'bout reverb or shift tone of moving objects. In fact, it necessary too.

[gas7119]

@Namynnuz well said.

[DaUziel]

SPECIAL EDITION EXPLOSION RING FTW

"The audience is now your father."

[Rudolf555]

[214scifi]

[TheDonny117]

Doesnt matter how long ago you did it nick its a solid piece of work! well done mate.

[bxxxxxxxxxxxx]

One more problem:

U cant hear anything in space xD

[andotopia]

chuck norris can!

[CrASYmUZIk]

well that's mpossible to hear THX in space , it's just too LOUD!

[jmm1233]

one little problem with that is the using duel of fates , wrong episode , and the music should fade out completely before the deep note , then boom that part was awesome

[beckybee04]

like woah dude you are totally cool fuck

[postobon10]

THIS SUPER BRILLIANT CHEVERE WAAAAU

[cooljoe494]

Do you hate THX or you want this to be at the start of star wars movies?

[harisellahi]

Please let me know of the software you used to make this.

[nick317ryan]

If you're talking about the animation, I can't help you there because I didn't make it. As far as the sound design goes that would be Pro Tools.

[romaji2]

@nick317ryan

Lightwave and 3DSMax, AfterEffects for compositing and particles. Thanks for keeping the credits on at the end. :P

[TehMG]

Not bad, just take it easy on the audio levels though, there's a lot of clipping distortion. Back off on the levels a bit so you don't murder the sound quality, speakers have a volume control for a reason ;)

[nick317ryan]

Thanks for the constructive criticism but there is no need for it. This was the FIRST thing I did in Sound Design many, many years ago. I know there are a lot of mistakes but that isn't the point. The point is that this is where I started.

Please watch the video response to this called Fifty Percent Grey. That one I done years after this and it is much more solid and critique worthy.

[gainstage]

@nick317ryan

Even though you've progressed from this initial try, others can learn from the critique if they are just hearing it for the first time. Thanks for keeping this available, it looks like your other video has been pulled.

[TheFifthGreatApe]

That was good for your first try on the first project in the first class.

I watched your Fifty Percent Grey film, now that was much more professional sound design.

[robbiespicnic]

I would definately hold off on the THX deep tone until the very end....it doesn't go well over the chorus. Instead, perhaps as the THX logo appears, continue with William's score with the rapid trumpet overture.... allow the logo to be completely shown, stop everything....silence....the BAM! blow the logo up as the words appear "the audience is listening"....THEN introduce the famed deep-THX amp sound as it all fades to black....?

[sgtpepper1138]

that was sweet, I wish I could do something that looked as cool as this

what software did you use??

A++

[intoantics]

mmm... do not criticize your work you obviously you can improve.

but is the same sounds man... you should look for other sounds, amend the sounds.. record or looking other sounds, because,

well where is your work, or your own idea, sounds good man, but make the difference.!!

keep going yeah.!!!! 3/5

[nick317ryan]

Thanks for them comment. I do realize that SO MUCH could be improved but the point is that this is where I started. The first try if you would.

If you did enjoy it and wanted to see if I have improved then check out the video response to this one. Its called Fifty Percent Gray.

Thanks again.

[KaiForce]

siiick

[UltraDroog]

The sound when the X-Wing flies away is actually that of an A-wing. Bothers me. XD

[tapfererHeld]

really good

[raccoongirl87]

SUPER EPIC! 5/5

[noobland2008]

not bad at all
