For my album, I had to simulate a flame. I started by getting up close to the mic & blowing into it. Then for the crackling flame, I recorded that crackling of fire, I recorded Pop Rocks popping in my mouth. That was rewarding.

On the topic of famous monster roars, let’s talk about arguably the most famous monster ever, Godzilla. His roars were created by rubbing gloves covered in pine tar resin on a double bass guitar, and then the rest was very much history

I'll never watch a high action movie again without picturing some guy screaming into a bucket.

Frank Welker is the real GOAT of voice acting. If there’s been an animal making sounds in film, tv or animation you bet you see him in the credits❤

Fun fact: the foley artist who mimics bugs bunny eating a carrot at the beginning of all his shows hated carrots, so once he was done he would spit them out😂

The iconic sound of the Doctor's TARDIS materializing and de-materializing is made by a key being dragged over piano wire. ("Doctor Who" in case y'all didn't know who the Doctor and what the TARDIS are.)

Don't forget the greatest sound effect of all time: banging two coconuts together to make horse sounds as you gallop to Camelot

My favorite example of sound "design" is in a Backstreet Boys song. The synthy sound that carries the beat in 'The Call' is actually a modified version of one of the members accidentally ripping one in the studio.

I love it! The more I learn these cinematic things, the more I long for more!

Fun fact: the sounds of the TIE Fighters from Star Wars used the sounds of cars and elephants going through puddles of water

The thing about the T-Rex though, is the real thing most likely used closed mouth vocalizations and low frequency sounds. Your body would feel it before you’d ever hear it. There’s videos on YouTube on that. If you have any sound system with a decent subwoofer, the low frequency sounds will cause the hair on your arms to instinctively stand on end and a chill to go down your spine. I’ve heard the experience is more intense on a high end PA system.

Really appreciate that you recreated the sounds yourself for some of these, it's neat to see it in action.

Thank you again BeAmazed for teaching me something new and amazing! This has blown me away! And great job on your foley skills! I knew sound effects were in movies but didn’t know how much Foley Artist do for everything. I know some of these people win Oscars but they should be highlighted more on tv!

The tie fighter sound coming from elephants reminds me of how the game developer five nights at Freddy created the famous jump scare scream. A lot of people think it’s an overdriven sound of a child screaming, but it actually comes from 1980s sci-fi movie, from the scene where a woman is giving birth to an alien. And dude… I can’t believe that sound came from human vocal cords…

These people are incredibly creative with their props!

[jmtimmons]

Now I want to watch Star Wars and The Terminator 2 again. Incredible video. I never knew what went into making sound effects. Though, I could have done without the fart info.

Once upon a time (1980s?) EPCOT had a booth where you had to guess what you were hearing. That's when I learned that sizzling bacon and heavy rain sound remarkably similar!

Since a kid up to now, i was always fascinated and interested in VFX. Many years later as i grew up, i discovered the awesome art of SFX, and so i practice it at home for my own creations
