How the Sounds From Your Favorite Movies Are Made | WIRED
@ 1:32 “It could be a bird”
That’s because it was once part of a bird…
IS that Adam Savage’s dad?
I love this guy and I dont even know him irl
That’s amazing
Wow. Excellent! Cool stuff.
“i hear the sound in my head and think about how do get it on paper” that is absolutely incredible i wonder how many people alive have this ability
Could you please tone down the “shwing” sound we hear every time someone puts a finger on a blade ?
Funny, that is one of my pet peeves also besides weapons movement. I would NEVER use a gun that sounds like what we use gun movement!

My wife uses the same excuse for her hoarding…they make sounds!!
1:42 yooooo
It’s kinda sad that how much love we show to actors while these artists are doing lot of brilliant works.
Stunt doubles, risking their lives. When considering action movies, most of the scenes are fighting/stunt scenes and stunt doubles are doing it, while the character hero/heroine taking rest and getting paid more and more. Also if you consider the superhero movies there are lot of script writing, story writing, Character design, environment design and many, but do we know who did all the works? No. We know who’s the actor of the movie, but we don’t know who wrote the script and who designed all these designs/animations, etc… We’re praising, recognising and giving so much love for every single actor/actress like Rock, Vin D, Robert D Jr, Chris Evans, Scarlett J and many… but we’re not praising or recognising these kinda brilliant artists. Rick stunts, this man, and many talented artists are becoming unknown to people.
1:36 “q u i e t g u y s t h a n k y o u”
this is my music homework💀
Does he buy everything himself?
The slightly rolled up sleeves is doing what exactly ? It wont cool him down.
To be a fly on the wall for 1 project/movie.
Lost in the film two thumbs up regarding
0:34 so that is how you do sounds of weapons or props being grabbed. Though there is another way you can do something like that. Using an old garden glove or a garden glove grabbing or tapping a metal crowbar or something metal rod or stick.
Watch To Live and Die In LA (1984), a classic cop and bad guy movie. If you listen closely, almost the entire movie’s sound is done in the studio, as well as the dialogue.
My students love this video! What a great way to show them the art of live sound effects!
