Relating to or concerned with the addition of recorded sound effects after the shooting of a film: a foley artist
We record all effects to picture in sync. We feel this provides a better 'feel' for the scene. Using a mix of microphones we provide a perspective that provides depth to the screen
We don't move on until it sounds right
Isn't that what you deserve
The art of Foley is named after a filmmaker named Jack Foley. The art itself goes back to the end of the silent movies era of the early 1900’s when sound became an integral part of moviemaking. In those early times microphones weren’t good enough to pick up all the sounds on a movie shoot. These sounds were “added” to the film during a later process and had to be “preformed” live to picture by an “artist” whose timing had to be just right. Haunting door creaks, spooky footsteps and other Foley sounds give films life. Technology has changed over the years but Jacks process is still used to give a project a “natural” or “human” feel to it.
