Clone Wars Birthday
Another birthday, another blog entry....!
I haven't been on since 2006. Been a busy last couple years!
Worked on a few films..:

There Will Be Blood
Fanboys
Wall-E
Star Wars: The Clone Wars


Traveled to Japan and the UK and Mexico a couple times for work/fun.
I went to the Oscars, that was a surreal and interesting experience.

I've been meeting more and more 501st and fans from all over the world!
Life is good.
The work at Skywalker has been great. The core sound team on The Clone Wars are with my buddies David Acord and Juan Peralta.
Watching the series progress and working with Dave Filoni has been incredible.
Acord and I have had several opportunities to voice new (and old!) characters in the series, I hope you like em!
Speaking of the voice cast on Clone Wars, I have really enjoyed working with the cast of this new series, and recording with them has been a blast. Here is a shot of us at the premiere of the film:

I am also (in my spare time, Ha-ha!) working on a documentary about the late philosopher/entertainer Alan Watts. Check out some of his stuff, animated by the South Park guys here: Alan Watts Theater

This month has been a little crazy with all the press and activities around The Clone Wars, but I still hope to get out to DragonCon. Hope to see some of you out there!

Thanks so much for stopping by, take care!

Matthew

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

And thanks for keeping everyone up to date on your activities...

I think you may be the only blogger I know who blogs once a year. ;)

Not sure what your exact role was on it... but There Will Be Blood had the absolute best sound design of any movie I've seen lately. It made the film much, much more intense.

Oh, and WALL-E's the best movie of this year, but everyone knows that!

Happy birthday!

Matt thanks for all you've done and continue to do in the realm of sound production for my favorite franchise, Star Wars!

If any fans would like to hear an interview with Matt, we've got one up online right here from the Force-Cast that was conducted at Celebration Japan.

Happy Birthday! I thought we would see more of "you" in this movie, we needed some more General G if you ask me.

Happy Birthday! Great job with the sound on Star Wars: The Clone Wars!


@ The Stooge: Wait, WALL-E is the best movie of the year? It might have been yesterday, but in my opinion, as of today, Star Wars: The Clone Wars takes that spot! I've seen it twice already. :p

Happy Birthday! It's great to see you here blogging.

I'm going to see the Clone Wars tomorrow. I'll be sure to remember you whenever I hear the battle droids talking. ;)
