#465 โ€“ Robert Rodriguez: Sin City, Desperado, El Mariachi, Alita, and Filmmaking

I used all gun sounds for the sound of the key, instead of key sounds, because it wasn't sound close enough. So if you listen to it, you hear... You hear all these sounds from Gunn to do the key. It's like that conveys the sound better. I'll use different kinds of sounds that just have impact and put it somewhere, like when he hits the ground.

So I like playing with all that in post when I'm editing because it makes my editing job easier. Sometimes it's like, oh, the sound is covering me. I don't need to keep trying to massage this. The sound is actually selling it. And so I keep those sound effects into the final movie. So it's just all part and necessary. It's like being a chef.

You're there cooking and you're going like, I know the recipe says this, but I think it really could use jalapenos and some extra pepper and maybe a little more salt. And then it needs an acid of some kind, so I'm going to add some lemon juice.

but then i replace it with real car sounds and it just your brain links the reality of the real thing crazy and you realize how unimportant the visual is and how important the sound is actually sound is everything that's what i was really lucky in mariachi that my camera didn't work for sound because then i got really good sound that i would have gotten with a shitty mic out of frame because that's the first telltale sign of a low budget movie is bad sound
