The name's Bond

Having been on more film sets and in more post productin suite that I care to remember I can say without a doubt that less than 0,0001% know what period vehicles should sound like .'
Then ther are producers who know even less.
To them a "motorcycle sound " = A HD and nothing else .
I ever rode mu Wm20 onto a set one time to show then what it should sound like but again it was overdubed with a HD .
The actual bike did not run so it was winched across the set ( lcation actually ) to get the shot .

It's annoying when post production, (foley) sounds don't match the video

My pet hate is a clip / clop of horses hooves - when galloping on sand or the like.

Having been a UK telephone engineer I'm quite expert on telephones. It bugs me to see American style phones used in a UK setting, or vice-versa, or the wrong period of phone used.

If you've watched the new BBC drama, The Inside Man, you'll see a chap in an American death-row cell using a British style telephone handset. I'm likely to be the one person in a thousand that noticed or gave a damn.

Another one is car tyres screaming when skidding on mud.

Speaking of Foley. The sounds that wild animals appear to make in the likes of a David Attenborough wildlife film presumably are added in post production in a sound studio. We see a lion eating an antelope, we are actually hearing some bloke smacking his lips into a microphone. I find this hilarious! How about grunts from a copulating Rhino!?

Woo, this has gone waaaay off topic

G'day Fellas.
We can't talk of Bond without the girls https://www.007james.com/articles/list_of_james_bond_girls.php

I was never into the Bond movies   ,   I was a Roger MOORE The SAINT man..

I saw one of those dreadful TV movies some years back, where during WW2 the handsome US pilot falls for the daughter of the local aristocrat. During the inevitable row she drives off in her pre-war MG sports car down the gravel drive, but the sound was of a huge V8 monster doing tyre-squealing doughnuts on tarmac...

The bit that I always find amusing is for a movie or TV series they will have several wardrobe designers to get the cloths right + a costume historian.
They will have a colour continuity artist  who makes sure all the colours are period correct and rmain consistant
There will be a props purveyor and a historian all devoted to make an authentic period scene
And they will have a "transport historian" to make sure that nothing on set is too late
Yet they are happy to edit in totally wrong sounds
I used to keep a summary of vehicle registrations that I would produce when I ws being used to transport props to a set cleary showing that 1/3 of new vehicle registrations were for motorcycles and back then in Sydney bikes under 150 cc did not need registration so they really needed more than 1 motorcycle & 2 pushbikes to make an authentic scene
