Audio Acquisition, and Pulp Fiction.
There was a scene in "Pulp Fiction", that sticks in my mind.
Ok, almost all of them do, but one sticks because of the audio that was captured. When Butch comes back to his apartment to retrieve his Kangaroo watch, he pauses at the door, with the key at it's intended orifice, and takes a breath. Next, he shoves the key into the doorknob that opens his own apartment door. I have always been curious as to the equipment that was used to acquire the insertion (key) sound. Any ideas, or experience? Thanks, Tobiah -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Any ideas, or experience? You can be sure that it was done after the fact in a Foley studio. Perhaps with some completely different kind of lock (and maybe not even a lock and key at all). Foley artists select objects for how they *sound* :-) If you asked this question over in the film sound newsgroup news:rec.arts.movies.production.sound you might even find someone that worked on that film. IMDB says that Catherine and Joan Rowe were the Foley artists for that production. |

Any ideas, or experience? These specialized sounds are called "Foley", named after a real person. They're recorded separately from the movie by folks who do just that. It's a specialized art, and sometimes doesn't even come from a related source - kinda like cocoanuts for horse's hooves. Beyond that tidbit, I know nothing. Thanks, as always, Chris Hornbeck |
