The Post-Standard, via Coming Soon, indicates that Ben Burtt, sound designer for all the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films, has moved to Pixar Animation Studios. Though the Star Wars films provided three years’ worth of employment, Burtt was guaranteed nothing past that, seeing as how most employees at Lucasfilm work from project to project. Hence, Burtt answered the call from Pixar, referring to the offer as “the most attractive” out of the ones he received. Burtt also chose Pixar due to its Bay Area location.
