Randy Thom
Randy Thom started his career in radio and music recording before making the transition to film in 1975, when he was hired on Apocalypse Now as a sound effects recordist. Since then, Thom has worked in a wide variety of creative capacities in over 30 films, and is currently a sound designer and mixer at Lucasfilm's Skywalker Sound facility. Thom received an Academy Award for sound for The Right Stuff, and is striving, along with a small group of other sound designers, to develop motion picture sound into an art form.
