Search Site Reviews
Sites are listed alphabetically by title. Those reviews which note links to other sites, especially as a major part of the site, will require additional exploration time by teachers to verify specific curriculum applications relevant to their classes. The USER LEVEL descriptor, Professional, is a pertinent reminder of such issues. Please note that changes happen daily on the Internet. Sites come and go. We cannot guarantee that the following sites are permanent or are structured as they were when they were reviewed.
Filmsound.org 
A comprehensive resource
compiled by a media teacher, this vibrant site explores a wide range of topics
and events in film sound design, from Mel Blanc to interactive music. Specific
mention is made of many films, including the underwater sounds of Finding
Nemo and the light saber sounds of Star wars. This
enthusiastic site is loaded with contemporary and historical information, and
effectively cross references material to Internet links and printed resources.
The site map will aid navigation and the search facility is fast and efficient. Animation
sound, Film sound terminology, Film music, Home
theatre sound, and Sound design of sci-fi films, will
be especially helpful to students and teachers in several KLAs. Multiple articles
on the art and technology of film sound, and interviews with sound experts, are
fine resources to explore the creative complexities of sound engineering. C.
