OMG THE MORITA FIRING SOUND FROM THE CREATOR HIMSELF! Did you perchance also create the shotgun sound and still have it? I tried getting it from the movie itself but there’s so much bug noises in the background that ruin it. I need this for a Starship Troopers video game mod project.

Thanks!

Hi Soundeffects guy- usually it is not something you want- all the time, but as Randy Thom once said- “Distortion = Art” in the case of Twister it was a convenient wy to imbue the sense of scale the winds of an F5 category Tornado was supposed to have.

Look at the signal from the wind in “twister” that is sick man! I never thought distortion was so wildly used in sound effects, now that I think of it, it makes sense…

I absolutely love both Twister and Starship Troopers, thank you for sharing this.

1000 tracks! That gives me a headache just thinking about it.
