Gary Rydstroms sound work on Jurassic park gave us the iconic sounds of the
dinosaur. These dinosaur sounds where crated by mixing together numerous
different animal vocalizations to make the audience feel as though giant
bellowing prehistoric beasts surrounded them. Now whenever you hear these
sounds you straight away know what those sounds are meant to represent.
