This video confirms two things. Firstly, sound is just so crucial to the atmosphere and feel of a movie. Secondly, 8-bit sound effects are like a ready-made portal to my happy place. This video is exactly what it says on the tin: it takes one of the best scenes from The Matrix Reloaded, and replaces all the sound — all of it — with sounds from 8-bit video games.
It’s really cool how, back in the day, hardware limitations ended up producing a style of sound design that is so distinctive even to this day. It’s a perfect example of restrictions breeding a sense of creativity.
Someone should do this for the whole trilogy. I’d rewatch the hell out of that.
