RE: SV: "African crane" sounds-Jurassic Park

["Dino Guy Ralph" <dinoguy@sbcglobal.net>]

Like David Krentz said, there was a lot of layering of sounds.  The raptor
attack sound incorporates both low frequency walrus noises and the high
frequency scream of a dolphin in heat, for example, but many animals were
used for the full repertoire of sounds the dinosaurs produced (especially so
in the case of the raptors).  Unfortunately, I don't know offhand how big a
part the crane played in the complete sound mix.  The  recorded sounds were
chopped up, sped up, slowed down, played backwards, combined and altered in
pitch on a Synclavier keyboard (among other things).  So yes, the sounds
were indeed "treated" for the movie.

mentioned in my previous post.
