Foley and Sound Effects for Film

     Ever since the beginning of film, sounds have been imitated and recreated.  As explained sound and music has driven actions  in live action and animation for decades. When recording a scene for  live action the main purpose is to record dialogue, which at times does not come through the mic so good and needs to be re-recorded.
     Foley is a technique used in post production in which sounds are used to replace the poorly recorded sounds on set. Foley sounds can be bought in a library or reproduced but either way are essential to the addition of new sounds.
     There is no denying in my opinion that foley sounds are essential to the production of movies. The video really shows in depth the history of foley and how much thought goes into the process.  What really interested me was the foley studios with props and different surfaces to walk on.
