"peter said the balrog was not a physical being, it's made out of shadow and flame" "it's made of lava, so we thought we should go for natural rock sounds!"
Damn, so dinosaur experts say the t rex would probably sound more like a bird with indigestion? that would've been a crappy reveal, glad they designed the now famous sound of a t rex we all know today.
28:23 you could hear him get more and more excited at the idea of him doing a cameo in a Star Wars movie as if he was a fan and not a guy who’s been working on these films since the beginning.
Fun fact: the reason why we find this sound really creepy is because it's made with the sounds of some of human natural predators or murderers (elephants kill humans as much as hippos, lions, crocodiles), it's in our psyche, plus big animals like whales
Shout out to that one random baby elephant for looking at sound designers desperately trying to gather noise clips for a T-Rex, going "I gotchu", and dropping the most recognisable sound in cinema history next to the Wilhelm Scream.
The T rex today is definitely not this elephant because it sounds much creepier in real life plus no dinosaur speaks mammalian languages not even rexes
space is literally an audio black hole... seismic events and sounds are vibrations and they need matter to push to propagate. its like a domino effect.... now imagine space represented by an empty domino slot....
