Foley Recording

Week_5_ "No Foley for old men"

Learning about foley recordists. This lesson we got a scene from the movie "No country for old men" and were given the task of remaking the audio, which was just a man walking on a cliffs edge in very rough dirty terrain. So it's lucky we have that type of terrain right here at CDU!

We set off with a role given to each student.

• Boom operator
• recordist
• scribe
• walker
• visual aid(holding laptop with scene playing)

Mr Jack Foley, the inventor of "foley" recording

Mr Foley re-created the sounds of walking footsteps along with a scene that was first thought to be unusable due to the poor audio quality.












Foley recordists use any means necessary to get the desired sound, no matter how dirty or uncomfortable it may get.
