When Mad Max: Fury Road won the Academy Award for best sound editing, I admit I was a little surprised. The way I remembered it, the movie's soundscape could basically be summed up in one loud engine rumble and a handful of gunshots. But this supercut of the film's sound effects from Zackery Ramos-Taylor does a nice job of showcasing the range of sounds that come throughout the movie. Check it out below:
First supercut of my "Best Sound Editing Oscar Nominees 2016" series focusing on the various uses of sound throughout Mad Max: Fury Road. This film uses sound to enhance and add texture to the story in order to create an auditory post-apocalyptic world full of chaos, adrenaline, and suspense. From hearing the sound of the protagonist slowly rising from the sand to mechanized vehicles exploding one after another, this film seeks to add sound to every action shown.
