Hi Richard! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

In a past Soundworks Collection video (I think for Inception) I remember you describing the process of stacking the separate moments of a recorded gunshot, placing the gunshot itself, the whiz by and impact all on top of each other. This creates an impossible sound that could never be heard in real life.

It seems like this is one of those moments in filmmaking where a subtly unrealistic approach results in an almost more realistic sounding track, possibly to due audience expectations built through decades of "movie magic".

Off the top of your head, can you think of any other instances like this where a creative and "unrealistic" design approach results in a more effectively perceived sense of realism by the audience?

Thanks again for doing this! No doubt this thread will be used as high quality inspiration material for a lot of people.
