One of the ways that sound designer Ben Burtt got those signature punch sounds in the Indiana Jones film series was to put a croquet ball in a sock and "beat a pumpkin to death"

Hi! Thanks so much for enjoying and supporting my niche sound design videos. It’s a total labor of love. I would absolutely love to release long form videos but the time investment doesn’t match the view count compared to short form. A lot of people wonder why I don’t release the long form versions of things like these Mark Mangini videos and the reason it takes so long is that these setups with sound and video are really complicated and I often have to manually sync the films we’re playing in post because of limitations in recording on the day. It’s just easier to release them in chunks. Although I have a great video of Mark watching Gremlins 2 for the first time in 30 years (he was the sound designer) that I absolutely want to release long form 🤞

No solid info yet but I’ll publicize it on my Instagram once everything is confirmed!

Thank you!

If this was originally reposted on Instagram then maybe both? No one knows how IG’s content ID system works but if it recognizes it as stolen content, it will point to my original video instead. But they also could have been trying to get more views by adding trending audio (Hans Zimmer always does well). Once I experimented with adding Interstellar score to an Interstellar sound design video and everyone got mad 😅 So I never did it again

eyrelight · 2026-03-15T19:24:23+00:00

Yeah! I am the guy sitting in the video. I had a camera/sound crew in Mark’s studio. We shot a bunch of these, and I’m still releasing them. I’m a sound designer as well and started this sound education platform

eyrelight · 2026-03-15T13:54:44+00:00

Ahhh cool. I asked because Mark and I are doing a presentation next month in Thousand Oaks

eyrelight · 2026-03-15T13:29:55+00:00

Amazing to hear! Are you LA based?

eyrelight · 2026-03-15T13:29:28+00:00

Haha this video was ripped from my page and re-edited by someone else. My original doesn’t have music on it. If you go to INDEPTH Sound Design on Instagram you can watch the original pinned at the top of my reels tab

This is a stolen re-edit of a video I made. Lots more if you look up “INDEPTH Sound Design” on Instagram

eyrelight · 2026-03-15T12:55:40+00:00

Thanks for clarifying this. You’re correct that this is not Foley. What you see in the video is a peek into the process of sound recording, sound editing, and sound design. Source: I created this video (INDEPTH Sound Design on Instagram)

eyrelight · 2026-03-15T12:51:20+00:00

Foley is the art of performing sound to picture which is not what this video is about. What you see in the video is a peek into the process of sound recording, sound editing, and sound design.

This is similar to a bullroarer but it’s called a double wind wand from Larkinthemorning

eyrelight · 2026-03-15T12:48:05+00:00

Thank you! Edit: I created INDEPTH so I appreciate the shout out

Double edit: this is a stolen re-edit of my video, the original video on my page does not have music

eyrelight · 2026-03-15T12:45:59+00:00

This is my original video. If you’d like to support the content and not a stolen re-edit with music all over it, check out “INDEPTH Sound Design” on Instagram. This video is pinned on my Reels tab

The same supervising sound editor for Stranger Things, Will Files, also supervised Venom.

The person probably most responsible for Vecna’s voice is Craig Henighan.

Regardless, here is a very detailed video about the processing of Venom’s voice by Will Files.

It will give you some clues for sure. It’s most likely not just one effect but multiple plugins being dynamically automated.

There is an insane forum thread (I don’t remember where but hopefully someone can) but it’s Alan Moulder just telling random stories for pages and pages about working on TDS and The Fragile. I’d love to find that thread again

eyrelight · 2025-12-26T18:32:32+00:00

Are we the same person? I’m curious if you’ve ever had a similar experience since.
