00:01 Frozen Celery and Bell Pepper!
These are pretty useful for bone-cracking and fleshy sounds. We had to clean the sounds up quite a bit and also processed them by distorting them to make the sound pop up!
00:40 Lightsaber Buzz
This was pretty fun to record, and it is just feedback sound! What a fantastic idea from Ben Burtt!
The tutorial we followed:

01:10 Blanket Sounds
A pretty basic whoosh recording. Go ahead and grab all the blankets you can find to record!
01:25 Sources of inspiration [Sound Redesign]
We love referencing Animes and Japanese games for our sound libraries! We were also so awed by the original sound design of this Overwatch video that we wanted to try to re-create something similar. We used Serum to generate most of the sounds heard in the Overwatch video.
