Otherwise, it might, if I put it on the cement, then it might sound too thin. Surface makes a huge difference.Īlicia: I put the parts against the car door so that it would sound connected, like it's connected to a whole robot. Narrator: If these two sounds were recorded at once, the sound mixer wouldn't have as much control balancing the two sounds. For this part of the scene where Bumblebee hits his head on a lamp, they needed to record two sounds: first a helmet hitting a car door, then a lampshade swaying back and forth.ĭawn: Sometimes something as simple as that lampshade could be five tracks, easily. The individual sounds usually get recorded separately and then layered digitally. What's more complicated are the multipart sounds. Here, Bumblebee tries to open a soda can. Narrator: They often use these "rain birds" to get the sounds of Bumblebee's hands. Riding this over the car door, paired with a little hit of a seat cushion, helped them create the sound of Bumblebee sitting on the couch.ĭavid: Bumblebee still needs to sound heavy, but you can play with weight, and you can play with attack, and sometimes those little things can give a sense of aggression and clumsiness. Narrator: The team had a lot of interesting objects at their disposal, like this very old lawnmower.

This is Dawn Lunsford, Alicia Stevenson, and David Jobe, the Foley team behind the movie.ĭawn: Bumblebee's a car, so it seemed logical that we would use car parts, car doors, car hoods, depending on what part of his body we might be doing. Many of Bumblebee's movements aren't different than what you'd expect from a human character, but he's made of metal, so he's going to sound different. Usually that means human characters, but it can also apply to the sounds of animals, and, in this case, big metallic creatures. Foley sounds are any sounds based on a character's interactions and movements. To learn more about how the sounds you hear in the movie are made, we talked to the film's Foley team. "Bumblebee," the latest entry in the franchise, was no exception. To make all that feel real, the sound has got to be just right. Narrator: The "Transformers" movies are known for explosions and giant Autobots that crash into buildings. To create Bumblebee's movements, they used objects like car seats, helmets, and sprinkler heads.įollowing is a transcription of this video:.We sat down with the movie's Foley team to learn how they helped bring the Autobots and Decepticons to life using sound."Bumblebee" is the latest "Transformers" movie.
