Supervising sound producer Al Nelson breaks down the Mach 10 sequence.

One of the most exciting things about Top Gun: Maverick is their emphasis on practical effects. Most times, when you see the film’s actors struggling against high-level g-forces, that struggle is real. The actors spent months training to be in planes doing their own stunts, and the whole film feels grounded because of it.
Most times these sequences were shot practically … but not every time. In the film's incredible seven-minute opener (also known as the Darkstar sequence), nearly everything we see is completely fake. The plane used to go Mach 10 doesn’t really exist yet. It’s a prototype for a plane that will exist in the future, built by Lockheed Martin. While a prototype of that plane was used for taxiing around the runway, anytime we see the plane in the air it’s entirely VFX - impeccable VFX. But beyond the VFX, the thing that makes it feel so real is the sound design.
In this video, Top Gun: Mavericks supervising sound producer Al Nelson breaks down the Darkstar sequence. He explains how his team made a plane that doesn’t exist sound real, and, more importantly, how they leveraged the sound design to be just as emotionally impactful as a piece of orchestrated music.
Note: The headline on this piece has been updated.

@MikeHarris1984 Жыл бұрын

I watched a behind the scenes doc about it and the roof flying off the building and such was complete accident. That was a set piece they stood up and roof was not bolted down, was to be used for that quick shot and then folded back down, and the explosions they used to mimic the flyby of the Dark Star ended up being too much and blew the roof up and as Ed was hit by the wave, he stood still. They loved the roof flying off so much, that they didn't re-shoot any of it, that single take was perfect in its un-perfectness... EDIT: And I get to the end where they said the roof was accidental and Ed just standing there, lol. But I forget what I saw that was the full behind the scenes but it was amazing.

Ed Harris's character withstanding the jet's power while the roof flies up actually took me out of the scene. Firstly, it's weird that a structure (that's not just a prop in the movie's fictional setting) almost comes apart but a 70-year-old senior citizen manages to barely be pushed back. Secondly, the scene is supposed to be about the Darkstar; it's supposed to showcase this elite of the elite jet that's so powerful that it can reach Mach 10 and make the viewer want to root against the Navy Admiral who's coming to shut it down. Harris's character not being affected by it just made the Darkstar look terribly weak to me in that moment.

I watched this movie on a plane. I started watching before takeoff and as we started taxiing to the runway for takeoff this scene starts to get going, then literally as the pilot slams the throttle forward the plane in the movie started approaching Mach 10 and I'm there in my seat getting shaken around and pushed back in my seat. It was one of the most surreal movie experiences like I was in a simulator experiencing the movie!

I wonder if there were any 'reality is unrealistic' issues in the film.

There’s an fan edit of the last dogfight in the movie with actual realistic warning sounds and correct gun sounds, and it’s a lot different and SO much better than the original. It’s really surprising how wrong the movie got it, and how much more intense the realistic sounds make it feel. I guess they might have done it for the reason you say, that they didn’t feel reality was good enough, but it was a very wrong choice in my opinion.

I have worked in film & tv for decades as composer and have done my share of sound design, and now I’m teaching the craft to the next generation of sound designers at the University of Silicon Valley. My students will spend the next week with dissecting some of Maverick’s audio. Award well deserved (imho TC should have gotten the other one).

I always found that awards for best sound were hard for me to understand because I'm no specialist, and that was also the case for this film. This video helped me understand why: when it's done that well, it works so naturally that you don't even realize there was work behind it, it feels like it couldn't have sounded otherwise. But then you made me realize that every little noise in that scene had to be made up, and suddenly giving it an Oscar seems obvious.

The "He's the fastest man alive" comment instantly made me go "nah, that's gotta be an Apollo astronaut." Sure enough, Mavericks mach 10, or 12 000 km/h, is easily beaten by Apollo 10's Thomas Patten Stafford (and fellow crew, if alive): 40 000 km/h!

Exactly! Even a Space Shuttle on re-entry did Mach 22-23 (27000+ km/h) if I am not mistaken.

Should have won more than just sound at the Oscars. It was a masterpiece all around....

Lol no. It was only at the Oscars because of popularity, not for its merit.

@@Omnamorudraya23 Me? For voicing my opinion about a poorly written and rehashed movie? Calling me an attention [seeker] is just detracting, deflecting, and dismissive. If you want to offer an alternative opinion then do so. If you're just going to attack me personally I suggest you go harrass someone else. Top Gun didn't belong at the Oscars whatsoever. If you look it up you'll find that A LOT of people agree with me.

By far and away the best sonic experience I've ever had in a cinema. Went back to see it three more times. They absolute nail the sound, from the 1986-homage intro all the way through the jet fighter sequences.

Well, if you can make a rival superpower redirect their satellite to try and get a photograph of the fictional aircraft, I say you've done pretty well.

They created a masterpiece. I was so blown away by it, that I went to three different kinds of cinemas to see which one would be best. Dolby Atmos was the best experience for me, as I found that sound was the core of this movie.

I have to say we as an audience are taking for granted the quality of sound design, vfx and overall filmmaking.. most people don’t even realize how much work is put into creating such amazing movies. The most talented people from all around the world contribute to creating such an amazing piece of art and I appreciate your channel! It shows what it takes to make something like this and I love it!
