Film is pure magie, en soms wil je niet weten hoe deze gemaakt worden. Omdat deze de magie en het beeld die je er over hebt kan verpesten. Maar de website Cracked.com heeft nu de oorsprong van vijf legendarische film geluiden gevonden. Want eigenlijk is de Balrog zijn grom gemaakt met een slepend blok beton en de dino's uit Jurrasic Park is een mix van diverse dieren. Dus bij deze kan je nu nooit meer normaal naar deze films kijken.

#5. The Star Wars Blaster Sound Is a Guy Smacking a Cable with a Hammer

The Effect:

This one is instantly recognizable. The wonderfully distinctive "pew-pew" of blaster fire in the Star Wars films sings through the action, whether Greedo is shooting first or the Stormtroopers are missing everything in sight.

One would assume that the sound effect for a deadly piece of future technology would be made with ... well, technology. A computer mixing board or a synthesizer or some other engine of bleep-bloop witchcraft has to be responsible for creating those wicked laser sounds, right?

The Reality:

Legendary sound designer Ben Burtt (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, E.T., Willow ... basically, this guy made the soundtrack to your childhood) decided to eschew the old sci-fi cliches of synthetic beeps and buzzes when he worked on Star Wars. Sure, he could've just used a synthesized oscillator to make the laser sounds, but he went above and beyond the call of duty. Way above, as it happens.

Burtt, armed with a tape recorder and a microphone, climbed a nearby radio tower (this was before 9/11, when people could do things like that for no reason). Then, presumably while trying his very best to look like he knew exactly what he was doing, he beat the ever-loving shit out of one of the guide wires with a hammer, recording the sound of the strikes. After a little bit of cleanup in the production studio, voila! Laser sounds! Subsequent generations of nerdy children could now be kept safely indoors.
