Now, let’s see these two videos about Foley, viewed at PolyPink. There, they call Foley “The Art of Lie”, “because you have to use something to create sound and make the listener think it’s something else.”
Foley is totally an art, a really hard work given by creativity and experimentation with several objects and tools to create many sounds in many ways. The videos speak for themselves…
Great job on this post! That top video was quite beautifully shot and nicely informative for how short it was. I’m still reading “The Foley Grail” after having seen a recommendation for it here, and I’m really glad I took your advice.
Iit seemed to me that the guy in the second video was not a happy person, and that he was a really not excited about all the clichés he has to reproduce He gave some ironic answers too.
So I wonder: ¿Are these foley artists frustrated musicians? ¿All most people in backstage is sad?
