Скачать или смотреть How Monster Sounds Are Actually Made For Movies

Dinosaurs don’t exist… but their sounds do. And someone has to invent them.
In this video, I sat down with Tim Nielsen — an award-winning sound designer who has worked on Jurassic World, Avatar, Lord of the Rings, and pretty much every major franchise you can think of — to figure out how movies decide what dinosaurs, aliens, and monsters should sound like.

Because here’s the weird part: most of the creature voices you’ve heard on screen aren’t animals at all. They’re car engines. Trees in the wind. Cardboard. Oven mitts. And sometimes… Tim’s own voice.

From gathering a library of almost 2 million sound recordings to layering 25–30 elements for a single T-Rex yawn, Tim walks us through the real craft behind creature sound design — the emotional mapping, the problem-solving, the downright bizarre experiments, and why the best sound work is the stuff you never notice.

We talk about everything — identifying a creature’s “voice” from concept art, sourcing rare sounds (including five hours of baby bear recordings), building the Quetzalcoatlus scream from alpacas, and why a dinosaur’s breath can be harder than its roar. It’s basically painting, but with audio… and the stakes are whether an audience believes a 12-ton reptile is asleep.

This was genuinely one of the coolest conversations I’ve had. I hope it gives you a new appreciation for the people who make the impossible feel real — one roar, screech, and slobber at a time.
