Just wanted to get the opinion of fellow DVinfo members. Canon's new slogan is "The only thing that gets blurry is the line between amateur and professional." This is used for their VIXIA line.

Sounds subliminal to me.

As an employer in this industry, is someone with a college education more valuable to you? ]]> The TOTEM Poll: Totally Off Topic, Everything Media Devin Termini http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/totem-poll-totally-off-topic-everything-media/467207-university-education.html http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/totem-poll-totally-off-topic-everything-media/466631-damned-falcon.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 06:08:59 GMT About 6 months ago I started to notice just how often that damned red tailed hawk screech would play in movies and the more I heard it the more I realized that it's used in almost every single film out there. One series that really flogged it to death was The National Parks: America's Best Idea by Ken Burns. Now it's gotten to the point where it is so pervasive in any film featuring nature and such a cliche that I end up rolling my eyes every time I hear it.

The Wilhelm scream scream is funny because it's an inside joke. This damn hawk is just annoying. I was just watching Last of the Mohicans and as they pan across a British fort that has just had the you know what beat out of them you hear the hawk screech twice. How many birds would actually hang around an area with canons, guns and explosions going off for days on end?

Just had to get that one off my chest. I need to get out more. :) Any other sounds that are used so often that they are cliche as opposed to being effective?

Here's a funny compilation of the Wilhelm Scream.

It's pretty peculiar:

Behind The Scenes, The Making of SD (10 minutes)
BBC SD Feature (10 minutes)
Material from the SD Laserdisc:
- Strange Days storyboards & stills (5 minutes)
- Strange Days "Featurette" (10 minutes)

Does anyone know where to start looking for these? I'm doing a POV sequence for a project and would love the insight Bigelow offers from these. I remember seeing them maybe ten years ago on Laserdisc and TV, but haven't seen them since.
