How Animal Sounds Are Made For Movies And TV | Movies Insider

Foley artists use objects to create sounds based on a character’s movements and interactions in movies and TV shows. Sometimes, they will find themselves making sounds for animals. Marko Costanzo is a veteran Foley artist for c5 Sound, Inc. He has who worked on movies like “Ice Age,” “Life of Pi,” and “True Grit.” Costanzo explained how complicated it was to make the sounds of a dragonfly flapping its wings in “Men in Black,” and how he captured the footsteps of a dog at different ages in “Marley & Me.” Then, we showed him an animal clip he has never seen before and had him come up with the proper sounds on the spot.

Love how happy this man is doing his job

"How animal sounds are made in movies"

Me at 1 AM: I don't need sleep, I need answers

[novineux]

It is kinda sad how much focus we put on the actors and actresses when so many people doing different things that make a movie great are behind it.

[kamaalhasan]

Why no one is talking about the man who mixed all these sounds and produced that work.

[airynod]

Friends "The cat in the movie was cute."
Me after watching this "There were no cat, just a bald man."

[lowerthanthefloor]

Did I search for this? No.

Was I entertained? Immensely.

Youtube: "Are you not entertained!?"

[eazzycheesy]

The bird flying sounds are legit, just realize I’ve never paid attention to sound of real bird flying and prolly been hearing fake bird sound my whole life.

[bagelboy]

“So what does your dad do for work?”
Me: “It’s complicated.”

[KitsuneFyora]

Sound effects career: The only time that being a hoarder is acceptable.

[westnilesnipes]

This man has a truly fascinating job. When you watch the film you don’t ever think “oh that’s just rocks beating on the ground”, you just hear horses galloping. Very cool.

[fonzi]

Imagine showing this guy's work to someone with no volume or context.

[ulfricstormcloak]

I used to think that all these special sound effects in animation movies are computer generated.

[isfp]

the sound maker dude looks like a mad scientist with spare parts everywhere

[xuexingjie]

*_why did I think the noise just came out of the animals naturally_*
edit: why are people still growling at me for this comment 7 months later please it was a joke D:

[RedGhost]

He has that kind of "I dont know what I'm doing they just keep hiring me" kind of vibe

[BobbyMulqueen]

Now when I watch a film, I will just imagine a guy in a basement making the noises.

[Aggouric]

So you're telling me a panda is some 50 year old man

[lee-xyvz]

0:09 the mic got tired and wanted to lay on his shoulder but was sadly shooed away :(

[rahmatjulianeljon]

it sounds so realistic that no one even knew that this job ever existed

[SuperUsername]

You have to be so creative to do this job. It’s like a combination of a child’s curiosity and wonder with some really impressive problem solving skills.
