Pet Peeves - Sound Recording

[Bama Llama 1450]

1. Dubbed fanfares. Four scrawny extras raise long horns and pretend to blow.  Out comes a loud, majestic sound like the entire brass section of the London Symphony. What bullshit.

2. A metallic "shing!" sound when a sword whips through thin air.  Air!

3. Metallic "shing!" sound when a sword is inserted into a leather scabbard. Leather!

4. Ricochet gunshots have had the same sound for sixty years.

5. One nervous horse nickering at night - always the same sound.  You know the one I'm talking about.

A production company spends millions to make a film and won't pay a few bucks to record an original sound or two.  It is an insult to the ears.

I love this scene but hate the bubbling cauldron sound effects when he pours the molten gold over his head.

 

 

[Parliament 14272]

The sound of just about every punch landing.

Mythbusters did an episode once comparing movie sound effects to actual sounds, it was pretty interesting.
