The Sound Design of Jurassic Park

The podcast explores the creative sound design techniques employed in Jurassic Park to bring the dinosaurs to life.

Each dinosaur in the movie had its own unique voice, achieved by layering different animal vocalizations. The sound designers focused on creating believable and emotionally impactful sounds that enhanced the storytelling.
