Alright, play that way [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was breifly a part of a scheme involving one of those on the list but something about it just smelled bad. I'm glad I got out before it fell on its face.

To start a totally random discussion to help pass the time at work...

**Spoliers??**

For those of you who saw Avatar, did anyone else notice, and were extemely bothered by, the giant ant eater horses used the same sound effect as the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park? Everytime I heard that noise it really took me out of the film.

What you're noticing is either formulated or stock foley sound.
It's an industry standard in the post-production world to use samples from a common bank to add in sound effects or to create sound effects using a method. When the same sound is used, it is obvious why they sound similar. When a method is used to produce a sound effect, it may sound similar because a similar technique was used to produce the sound effect. Often, the source of an effect is very dissimilar from the action in the shot supposed to have produced it. Spend some time working with sound effects, and you will hear like 7 or 8 of these effects that get used OVER AND OVER again in movies, tv, radio, advertisements, etc., and it will drive you absolutely batty.

Oh I am aware of that, Hasbinbad, and it does drive me batty! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think the thing that bothered me was not the fact that they reused sound effects, it happens in every movie, but the fact that they reused such an iconic sound. The kitchen scene in Jurassic Park is arguably the most memorable scene from that movie, and it just seems like... all of the new technology was invented to make this visually spectacular film, but they couldn't be bothered to make up their own anteater horse sound.

I guess I'm just nitpicking.
