This is something i dont necessarely want to do for living, but i would like to give it a try

[robertbrown]

Мій син займається цим. Цікава тонка робота, йому дуже подобається. Здорово! Я бажаю йому успіхів.І схожим хлопцям)

I compose music, create sound design and record Foley for various short film productions in my area and it is great fun. This job really lets your creativity and imagination flow, especially when working with animations since there are no reference sounds captured on-set. But impeccable timing and an open mind are essential with this job, otherwise 1, it wastes more time due to additional resynchronisation required and 2, the final results are not realistic/believable.
Being a Foley artist is a continuous job, constantly building a sound library of even the stupidest sound effects such as pouring water into a cup when making tea or the sound of a clothes hanger being placed on a rail in the wardrobe. I carry a portable recorder with me like my phone because you never know when you stumble upon something unmissable to add to your library.

I completely understand and get how artistic foley is. Oh my goodness, I love this topic! I now see why awards are given out in the motion picture industry for best sound. I would imagine an element of what you do is to also be conscious of not overselling it too. "It" meaning each sound you perform. In some cases the scene calls for a little less or a little more. I picked the wrong career field. I sell insurance by the way. Ugh!

i could watch this guy make noises all day

[miaouew]

Foley artist studio looks like a Texas pawn shop

[Erodam]

It’s gotta he kinda fun having this career. You could just drop something by accident and suddenly be inspired by the noise.

[matanfox]

It says he does it at Todd ao studios but I saw his room on a tour of Sony studios.

[drawingangel]

I don't get it... why can't the movie producers use the authentic sounds that the horses make and stuff. I get it for the video games and make believe movies like superman, but horses and swords?

[GiratinasRisingRenegades]

I take it this is how he provided background effects for Doomsday.

[luisqsk]

Hoarders would make a good job in this career.

I wanted to be subtle about looking at this for asmr but when I searched "foley artist" the first alternative was "asmr" and now I feel called out

[Poop-]

Why did I get sent this for school work..

[guilhermebarataa]

What about the mic used to record these foleys?

[pcxdrone]

Your 10 year old brother called. He wants his T shirt back.

[langestock]
