The Wilhelm Scream

Labels:
film
"The Wilhelm scream is a repeatedly used film and television stock sound effect first used in 1951 for the film Distant Drums. The effect gained new popularity (its use often becoming an in-joke) after it was used in Star Wars and several other blockbuster films as well as television programs and video games.
The Wilhelm scream has become a well-known cinematic sound cliché, and is claimed to have been used in over 140 films."see also Disney copy & paste

project
STEAM WARS is the creation of Larry Blamire; artist, actor and writer-director of the indie cult film THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA. The concept began as an image from a mural he painted in high school and over the years has become something of a "dream project", in paintings, stories, copious notes, film treatment, and--eventually--film itself.
