I would like to see a 5 hour version of this guy showing his stuff.

Foley artist must be a thankless job. If you do a bad job people complain. If you do it right nobody notices =)

[ericketeer]

Is it me or does that guy looks like George Lucas? Amazing Job and an amazing artist

I havent seen it yet, but if they don't have the lightsaber sound I will never forgive them.

[RR-ttof]

I get it if you want to mimic the sound of a bird flapping its wings or a robot walking. but, if you want to mimic a skateboard, why not just use a skateboard?

[PersonMan-qfom]

So i can play with objects and make sounds and get paid I’m working there when I grow up
