How Foley Is Created

Foley is created by the sound artist mimicking the actual sound source in a recording studio. Often there are many little sound effects that happen within any given scene of a movie. The process of recording them all can be tedious and time consuming. Foley art can be broken down into three main categories: Feet, Props, and Cloth.

To illustrate these categories, we will use the following example:

Two actors are walking down a marble staircase in a film, having a discussion while fishing in their pockets for their car keys.

Famous quotes containing the word created:

    Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it.... He directs angels, man, animals, brute matter, in sum all created things, but each according to its nature, and man having been created free, he is freely led. This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
