Azi'll never get over the intense special interest required for someone to post this on imdb
Mx. Aria Stewart@az Extremely my jam. Gonna notice that if it's wrong forever now.
Adam ♿@aredridel @az I can't find it now but there's a great video about how lots of telephone sound effects in movies are Wrong
felix@aredridel @voltagex @az frog sounds in movies are often wrong due to the recordings of frogs generally being taken in California.
dragonfrog@felix @aredridel @voltagex @az The father of a friend of mine in high school was an ornithologist. I remember watching Robin Hood Prince of Thieves at their house, and his dad couldn't bear to watch any more when they used North American bird song as background sounds in Sherwood forest.
Sleepysod@dragonfrog @felix @aredridel @voltagex @az I couldn’t bear it when they landed at the white cliffs of Dover and then went past Hadrian’s Wall on their way back to Sherwood Forest
Ethan Harvey@dragonfrog @felix @aredridel @voltagex @az Oh, goddammit, I was laughing about the original post until I saw this.
It annoys the hell out of me when movies use a red-tailed hawk scream for other birds. Bald eagles, especially -- they don't sound anything like that!

@cavedueller @dragonfrog @felix @voltagex @az Nobody understands our big trash chickens of a symbol :P Gotta keep up the mythos :D

This bird really gets around. Its distinctive wail is heard not just in movies set on nearly every continent on this planet, but also on some distant alien worlds

Why Hollywood loves this creepy bird call
Seb@aredridel @dragonfrog @az @felix @voltagex That’s great. Like criticising the seasoning on a dish made entirely from wood carved to look a bit like food.
@dragonfrog @voltagex @aredridel @felix @az A comment on the otherwise accuracy of the Costner classic.

potpie@felix @aredridel @voltagex @az likewise every large bird gets the red tailed hawk noise, and guns are apparently filled with loose spinning ratchets
impossible ortolan@felix @aredridel @voltagex @az as an Australian, a fave of mine in that genre is that every establishing shot of a jungle includes a kookaburra call
JdeBP@fingerless @felix @aredridel @voltagex @az
Has Larrikin Music sued for 60% of the royalties of every Aussie film?
BeeCycling has moved@felix @aredridel @voltagex @az Watched a whole video on YouTube once about the way movies and TV use the call of loons all the damn time, even when there's zero chance of seeing a loon in that setting.
b_rawr.tar.xz@felix @aredridel @voltagex @az so many movie sounds are annoyingly wrong because producers think that everything has to make a loud sound.
