Week 10 - Foley Studio

In one of our workshops, we went down to the foley studio and were shown how it worked. We each had a turn to use the mixing controls as well as create the foley sounds.

We were told about how in order to get some sounds, we must think of completely different ways in achieving this sound. For example, biting a carrot would be an animal biting a bone or a feather duster could be birds wings.


Later in the week, me and 4 others book rout the foley studio in order to get some foley sounds for our chosen clip. At first it proved difficult as we didn't manage to connect it so that as the sound was recorded it synched up to the project. It was also difficult as we had 4 projects to get done within 4 hours.

However working as a team we managed to get it done. The sounds I needed for my project were footsteps, puppy footsteps, general noises of a puppy etc.


















A few days later, I booked the studio and 4 of us went to create the foley sounds we needed for our clip. We set up both the Senheizers but couldn't manage to set up the mixing control.

This meant that the foley sound would not automatically synch up. As we only had 4 hours to get each persons foley sounds done, we decided to watch the clip and recreate the sounds as they come.

To make it easier in the edit before starting the clip we spoke into mic mentioning what this sound would be. We also did multiple sounds at once, for example I was one set of footsteps and someone else created the puppy footsteps.
