I'm going to play three videos of a rainy day.

But I've replaced the audio of one of the videos,

So I want you think carefully which one the clip with the bacon is.

My point here isn't really to make you hungry

but it's to show that our brains are conditioned to embrace the lies.

I wanted to quote one of my favorite authors.

In "The Decay of Lying," Oscar Wilde establishes the idea

that all bad art comes from copying nature and being realistic;

and all great art comes from lying and deceiving,

It's been added later in postproduction in a studio.

When you watch a movie and you see a bird flapping its wings --

It sounds a lot more realistic if you record a sheet

That's often done by sticking a knife in vegetables,

Making the right sounds is not always as easy

But it's often a lot more complicated than that.

One of my favorite stories comes from Frank Serafine.

and a great sound designer for "Tron" and "Star Trek" and others.

He was part of the Paramount team that won the Oscar for best sound

they were asked to produce the sound of the propeller of the submarine.

they couldn't really find a submarine in West Hollywood.

and Frank performed a cannonball, or bomba.

and an overhead mic outside the swimming pool.

So here's what the underwater mic sounds like.

So now they took the sound and pitched it one octave down,

And then they removed a lot of the high frequencies.

And then they added a little bit of the splash

So, creativity and technology put together in order to create the illusion

you want those sounds to live in the world of the story.
