I completely understand and get how artistic foley is. Oh my goodness, I love this topic! I now see why awards are given out in the motion picture industry for best sound. I would imagine an element of what you do is to also be conscious of not overselling it too. "It" meaning each sound you perform. In some cases the scene calls for a little less or a little more. I picked the wrong career field. I sell insurance by the way. Ugh!
You'd be surprised how few qualifications you need to get into this line of work. Or maybe you wouldn't. Either way, it's never too late to change careers
I compose music, create sound design and record Foley for various short film productions in my area and it is great fun. This job really lets your creativity and imagination flow, especially when working with animations since there are no reference sounds captured on-set. But impeccable timing and an open mind are essential with this job, otherwise 1, it wastes more time due to additional resynchronisation required and 2, the final results are not realistic/believable. Being a Foley artist is a continuous job, constantly building a sound library of even the stupidest sound effects such as pouring water into a cup when making tea or the sound of a clothes hanger being placed on a rail in the wardrobe. I carry a portable recorder with me like my phone because you never know when you stumble upon something unmissable to add to your library.
Hey man, I read your post, I am also working on the same sort of thing as far as film scoring, foley. I don't know you but if you ever want to throw something my way or vice versa, I'll be glad to help out. Please check out DreamRust on you tube, to see a general idea of what I do. If you are not interested, then please discard this message. All good. Thank you. I've not been involved with a lot of work but perhaps you will have an idea.
I don't get it... why can't the movie producers use the authentic sounds that the horses make and stuff. I get it for the video games and make believe movies like superman, but horses and swords?
There are a lot of reasons. Mic placement is a big one; how are you gonna get a nice sword sound recorded through a large-diaphragm condenser mic without sticking it in the shot? It also gives a much higher overall sound quality, and much more control to the mixers. Having a conversation beside a waterfall may be more "realistic," but that doesn't change the fact that you've got a waterfall bleeding into the dialogue. Much better to record the two separately, where the waterfall can be as loud or quiet as you want.
Also because a punch to the face sounds like a stick hitting a Mellon and is boring and not as action packed...but hitting a head of lettuce with a tennis racket sounds better.
It's explained in this other video, starting at 3:05 ruclips.net/video/UO3N_PRIgX0/видео.html They call it a streamer, and it's there to help synchronize the start of the sound
alberto hernandez You often wouldn't hear anything in a scene. And the actors can't be bothered with the right sounds because they have to fucking act. “Your acting was perfect, but we didn't get the perfect sound of those two pieces of cloth rubbing against each other, so we have to retake that scene. Again.“ That's just stupid.
The purpose of Foley is far from "BS", Alberto. The audio produced on set, or in studio is often muffled by things like ambient sounds, wind, airplanes flying over head, jet engine/wind fan motors and much, much more. So, while they do use boom mics on set; it is equally necessary to reproduce sound; the same way that actors have to come into studio to do ADR (automated dialog replacement) to re-dub some of their lines, due to those same sound distractions.
Why do I love watching these
This is something i dont necessarely want to do for living, but i would like to give it a try
Grab a metal ruler and a metal spatula, boom; Instant sword unsheathing sound
Begin to take out a sound of a video and do it yourself
now I have to watch movies and figure out if they left any sounds out.....thanks
Robert Brown you won't find many sounds missing, that's the great part
I’ll def be paying attention to the sounds now. Damn haha
Мій син займається цим. Цікава тонка робота, йому дуже подобається. Здорово! Я бажаю йому успіхів.І схожим хлопцям)

No, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a character.

It’s gotta he kinda fun having this career. You could just drop something by accident and suddenly be inspired by the noise.
I wanted to be subtle about looking at this for asmr but when I searched "foley artist" the first alternative was "asmr" and now I feel called out
Kink shaming is real and happens for a reason, even the robots know this.
I take it this is how he provided background effects for Doomsday.
superb sir m also Foley actor..
*artist**
Hoarders would make a good job in this career.
You are fantastic
This is better than asmr
It says he does it at Todd ao studios but I saw his room on a tour of Sony studios.

MockRockTV Ahhh okay, that makes sense. Thanks.
@@drawingangel2 timing is another HUGE issue, maybe the biggest one.

Why did I get sent this for school work..

His last name reminds me of *doggo*
Your 10 year old brother called. He wants his T shirt back.
Nice
what did he use for the hoof sounds?
What about the mic used to record these foleys?
does anyone know what they use for those green cue lines in the video playback?
It's explained in this other video, starting at 3:05 ruclips.net/video/UO3N_PRIgX0/видео.html

Its a start/stop que

For horse galloping right?
ASMR

CAN YOU DO IT WITHOUT TALKING PLEASE!
I thought they used a mic when filming movies,I guess not but honestly I prefer real sound not this bs but these people do a really good job
How is this not real sound
goku0warrior because is not the same as in the scene, the edit and fix it to make it more real

alberto hernandez You prefer real sound? You've never heard real sound in a movie. Because there's no movie without Foley.

MAKE MUCH JOY
