Interview with Matthew Wood

August 26, 2011 by Miguel Isaza

Home Theater Forum has interviewed Matthew Wood about his work on the Blu-ray edition of Star Wars.

We met with Matthew Wood from Skywalker Sound to find out more about the sound mix and what was done to ready it for Blu-ray.  He started working on the Blu-ray audio back in 2007.  Here are excerpts from that presentation.  It was very obvious that he has a lot of passion for these films.  Please note that the questions came from multiple participants, including myself:

I’ve [Matthew Wood] been involved in the restoration and remastering of Episodes IV, V and VI since about 1996 when we started the special editions and all the way through the DVD releases now.  I’ve actually brought all 6 movies that I got the print masters from Skywalker Sound so that we can listen to some scenes today. The cool thing about Blu-ray is the fact that when I play you these masters, it’s effectively as what’s on the disc, it’s the file copy that goes on the disc, we have an uncompressed master on the disc.
