enhance the filmmakers' story and enable the filmgoer to believe that they are
immersed in the story with the characters. Recording and experiencing sounds
from all over the world increases my knowledge and capability to select and
create the best sound effects for the film,” says Rob.

Del Este harbor in Uruguay, tropical fish in Saipan, spelunking the caves of
Tinian, World War II planes, a Stuart Tank, spelunking the Christmas Caves in
