Latest Screenshot from my Foley Session after 3 days, what you don’t see here are the multiples and multiples of takes in the ‘Playlist’ view in the track inspectors!
Into the den 2! More Foley footsteps and cloth tracks, this time with Oktava MK-012 for footsteps, and Neuman U87 for cloth tracks! 👣👣👞👠
An awesome article worth reading on microphones, artists and techniques straight from the higher end US/Hollywood tiered studios.
Great interviews with great Foley Artists!

FOLEY- THE SMALLEST SOUNDS IN FILM
The Foley Artist is probably the most unrecognised person in the film industry. But without him/her films would be very, very different. The name comes from a Mr Jack Foley, who invented the process of adding sound effects to film. The process is to record sounds to screen, such as footsteps, clothes rustling, or a “BISH, BOSH or KAPOW” (technical terminology) to a fight scene, to name the few more obvious examples.
But why? (I imagine you would ask if you were sat here with me)
Well, there are many reasons for Foley. One reason is to beef up ambient noise, giving a scene more oomph and therefore enhancing the story. From an editorial perspective, It also gives you more control over the sounds in the scene, enabling you to focus in and draw attention to certain, specific sounds in a scene or character. For example, the heels of a charismatic Cowboy walking into a quiet bar in a Western and the creaking of his leather jacket.
Little fact for you, did you know that up to 90% of audio in films is recreated in the studio?
Anyway, back to this stream of consciousness of a blog post, that I sincerely hope you’re enjoying.
I’ll leave you with a short video of a Foley artist hard at work creating some of the sounds for Jurassic Park, it’s only a minute long and they could do with the recognition.
