Pod race in episode I...

[homercles337]

Anakin's pod sounds like a race bike, and when they are ready to start the race i hear an internal combustion engine? WTF? Is that really the best they could do? Why not use different jet sounds or something?

 

[notfred]

Because if they were all just jet engines, which sound pretty much the same, it would be boring.

 

[Taggart]

because lucas is a douche who sold out a long time ago

 

[Aves]

I suppose that they could use something that sounded less like a regular car engine thought it didn't really bother me.

I think that the entire pod racing scene from TPM has an impressive audio mix.

 

[Kadarin]

Because it's just a movie, not real.

 

wtf are you looking into the movie that much?

Heh..now you're going to make me want to watch it on my home theater again, damn you.. 🙂

 

[ironcrotch]

IIRC they sampled those sounds from Indy cars.

well they spent like a gajillion dollars making the movie you'd think they could atleast do the little things right

The spaceship sounds (in space, no less) are MUCH less realistic than the pod racer sounds.

Like having all the space battles be silent, right?

ps. "right" is a subjective term.

Also the movie is sci fi, applying mechanics and physics from earth is pointless.

Actually, Star Wars is NOT sci-fi, technically speaking. It's pure fantasy, just set in space.

Yes, they could be indy cars--i didnt think of that. But they sounded like race bikes to me. Nonetheless, its really lame that they thought their audience would think that JET engines sound like interal combustion engines. WTF was their budget on this movie?

Whatever you say.

Are they jet engines.. I think not. Play Podracer.. those don't look like jets to me.

And how many people have heard an explosion in space versus how many people have heard a jet AND an interal combustion engine? Thats sound logic you have there. :roll:

$115,000,000 USD

I'm sure the pod racer sound design was an intentional throwback by Lucas.

When anakin fires up his pod that is clearly a jet engine with afterburner and all. Maybe all of them are not technically jets, but why does anakin's "jet" sound like an indy car/race bike?

ps, sound doesn't travel well in space, if at all.
May want to make a mental note to yourself in your sig to cut down on english and focus on some science.

Space is a vacuum. Sound travels by vibrating stuff.
Space has no stuff to vibrate, hence no sound in space. So no, I doubt anyone has heard an explosion in space.

No sh1t?! Really? So sound in a vacuum == no medium to transfer sound? Are you serious? Wow. Thats just some crazy ass sh1t. No, really, thank you for enlightening me AND totally ignoring the point of this post. Thanks for playing...

Am I the only one who came into this thread, and now feel just a bit more dumb having read through this pointless observation and resulting discussion?

Playing what, your mama?

Your post really has no point. You're arguing over the logics of the sounds a completely imaginary craft makes in a fantasy movie. Reexamine your "logic".

Listen asshat, and listen closely since you clearly missed my point. Im questioning the CREATIVITY of Lucas Arts, not the reality. Get it? More people know that something that looks like a JET engine will probably NOT sound like a race car since race cars do not have JET engines. Get it?
