Watch this video all the way through and you will never miss another Willhelm scream.



The problem I have with it is it completely takes you out of the moment of whatever you're watching. It makes you realize that yes this is a movie or TV show and you're not immersed in the environment of the scene.

Frankly although the Wilhelm Scream bugs me I'm more irritated by that "big rig passing by and honking twice and the second one changes downward in pitch because of the Doppler Effect" clip that everybody always has to put on every single clip of a truck ever made

As though you have more than a 0.01% chance of hearing a big rig honk when you see it in the first place

Not exactly a squee, but more like a nervous whee from Twilight in this well known scene:

I actually have seen big rigs honk a few times. I was on a bus trip a long time ago and a little boy sitting across the aisle with his dad was always trying to get every truck that passed by to honk. A few of them did.

That's my incredibly pointless and boring anecdote for November 1st.

The "squee" noise doesn't really take me out of the show, but the record scratch you heard in every bad comedy trailer for years does. The Wilhelm, I can ignore.

In some older cartoons, they used a stock AAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH sound. Apparently done by Mel Blanc, but used in other studios' cartoons.

This is what I'm talking about.

I found the scream familiar from other media, but I never noticed it in MLP :starity:. I had no idea it was used until I saw these posts.

I can't think of a single instance in MLP where I've noticed a Wilhelm scream, to be honest.

I guess my brain has some kind of Wilhelm immunity because I've watched that video twice before and I still miss it like everytime.

The only times I've ever caught the scream were in Magic Duel and the first Equestria Girls.

Same: I've literally never heard it without specifically looking for it. It was funny during s4 cause I'd go to the episode threads, see people complaining about it and be like :v:

It's a shame because a whipcrack really is a neat sound effect. It's all in moderation.

No, Johnny Test ruined whip cracks. RIP whip crack, you were overused by a mediocre cartoon. Bless you for your many years of service and such :jingo:

Getting a bit antsy on S5 announcement. It probably won't start in 2014 at this point. Could it stretch out until February?

That would be awesome but we'd probably know more by now if it were going to start that soon. :ponder:

What Octavia said. We were told it was coming in 2015 and I believed them, because if they knew S5 would be ready sometime this year then why the hell wouldn't they air it when it's ready? Gotta keep that gravy train rolling.

I guess I got overconfident with November from the beginning. It's true S1 had 2 eps in the can, but it went from early May to mid-September. This is a bit meh to stretch it potentially 8+ months.

Actually, I take back what I said earlier, as I just remembered the whole Discovery Family business and how Hasbro could've been holding back on S5 just in case a deal did not work out. This of course assumes that Hasbro's higher-ups knew about the Hub's impending demise well enough in advance, though.

At least it'll be exciting when it does air and hopefully, we'll have enough episodes to last us for a while.

That seems like a fair assumption. The Hub's demise affected their core business. I know business people can be clueless at times but they'd be pretty shoddy executives to not have been aware of potential problems. There was also a "2015" teaser with Pinkie on it iirc so I have been guessing it will return midseason, sometime in the winter.

Well, the animation on the songs gotta fit the songs, so it's more complicated than that.

Yeah, the songs definitely require more work to fit into the show, especially considering that Daniel Ingram now seems to have a fair amount of latitude in writing the lyrics for them. It's the background music, made by William Anderson, that seems to be the last step overall.
