2004 TEC Awards Hall of Fame Inductees George Lucas and Elliot Scheiner
 George Lucas, celebrated around the world as producer/director of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones adventure films, and the force behind the creation of Industrial Light and Magic, might be less widely known for his singular impact on film sound. His revival of the symphonic film score, and improvements to theater sound with the development of THX have changed the way we hear movies. He has also championed new technologies behind film sound creation by financing SoundDroid, an advanced touch-screen digital audio workstation; building Skywalker Sound; popularizing LCRS Dolby Stereo and 6.1 Dolby Digital EX; and pioneering long-distance ADR sessions over T1 lines.
