FilmSound.org
Often  taken for granted by audiences, a film's sound effects can add just as much to the final product as any slam-bang visual effects. Here to explain the finer points of moving mouths, barking dogs, and rousing orchestras is FilmSound.org. This cinematic hub for all things noisy features plenty of goodies that are sure to be music to your ears. Some highlights include a history of the sound design for the Star Wars films (Who knew an elephant held such a key role in Lucas' masterpiece?), a humorous section on those illogical movie sound clichés we hear all too often (ever notice how every front door, car door, and barn door seems to squeak?), and an exhaustive area illustrating how far the art/science of sound has come since the first "talkie," 1927's The Jazz Singer. An engaging resource for those in the biz as well as casual fans of flicks, FilmSound.org reminds you that it's in your best interest to silence those cell phones and listen closely.
