Deranged Rhino Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Once you know what to listen for you hear it in everything. Sound guys have weirdly awesome senses of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I learned about the Wilhelm scream several years ago, and once you've heard it and know what it is, you'll be amazed at how often you hear it from then on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cat Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Spielberg and Lucas the two main perpetrators of squeezing the WS into movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Spielberg and Lucas the two main perpetrators of squeezing the WS into movies? They (or their sound editors) have used it a lot, absolutely. They probably were most responsible for the cultish use of it today but it predates both of them by a bit. Compared to some of the things on TV and in the cinemas now, they're quite restrained in their usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right?f Obviously it's older than them, but they picked it up and ran with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, them or their editors. Their movies made it cultishly cool and is probably why it's so overdone now. But they had the integrity to use it once per film, nowadays it's once per action sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I think it's in the new Jon Lovitz GoDaddy.com commercials, specifically the one where a shark jumps on top of him and starts slapping him with its fin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
