A few summers ago I was working at a summer camp and the heads of the camp brought in master foley artists to come in and teach the chillins about what they did. I got to sit in on the class and it was really very interesting. Foley is used to enhance sound in movies and cartoons. A lot of times it is used to replace noises that were lost during the filming process. I feel that there is a great deal of creativity that comes with this job. They guys we worked with at the camp has built many machines to make different noises. There was a rig with chains on it to make the sound of a draw bridge going up and down and things as simple as the first aid cold packs were used to make "splat" or "thud" noises. It is really a cool thing to explore further. I found an interesting video of a top foley artist explaining his craft. Hope you enjoy!
