    Okay, time to go watch the episode (again) and be completely blown away by all the tiny sounds.

    One scene done, 200 more..
    i really appreciate his hard work, he look very exhausted doing it by himself going back and forth to the warehouse on every single shot. but the result are world class level. 👍🏻

    This is probably one of the most interesting videos I've seen on RUclips. So much work!!! The footsteps seem to be something difficult to do, as they are not regular. Brilliant work!

      Thanks for the kind comments. yes indeed the footsteps are the single hardest element of good foley.

    It's always a pleasure to watch others talk about their craft and watch them work. Great video.

    It's fascinating to see just how much work goes into something that's often completely overlooked by the viewer.
    I've always found foley to be a very interesting area. Thanks for putting this up.

    I did a lot of audio for radio theatre/commercial audio and always dreamed of doing Foley work. So wonderful to hear the Foley Artist explain his work!

    I was really blown away by your footwork. I have a lot of trouble performing steps. The cloth and spot fx were kinda an ego boost after that, as I recognized many techniques that I use in my work at play here too. I should probably invest in some kind of baffles, cause I'm ALWAYS having room issues in my home studio when it comes to medium-loud foley work.
    One thing I really wanted to know, though, is what Keith was actively doing while Barnaby was performing. Was he actually riding levels and EQ on the board to match perspective, for instance? Or did you do that mostly after the fact, in the mix, through the board? Realistically, I don't have a board or an engineer so that info won't be directly applicable, but it'd be nice to know :)

    • @barnysmyth4
      @barnysmyth4 7 лет назад +16

      Yes Keith does alot of fader work, eq-ing, compression etc. He is a vital cog in the whole process. He just didn't like being filmed!!!
      Glad you all seemed to like the film. I may do some more.

    • @randomencounters
      @randomencounters 7 лет назад

      Thanks! Maybe convince Keith to let himself be filmed too lol ;)

    • @trigger_me_timbers
      @trigger_me_timbers 6 лет назад +2

      I would do levels and EQ after. Doing it in real time leaves you with an audio file that would be extremely inaccurate. Just mimic what you can and do the syncing, levels, and EQ in post to make it perfect.

    • @lisagreenawalt4354
      @lisagreenawalt4354 6 лет назад +1

      I totally in awe of this work. I always wanted to work in this field but never pursued it as a profession. Just out of curiosity, how did you get started?

    • @keenanmcleod1193
      @keenanmcleod1193 5 лет назад +2

      @@lisagreenawalt4354 You need some sort of post secondary music education usually. Once you have that you can take a year of schooling in a specific field. This field would be Audio Post Production. You wouldn't only learn Foley, but all the areas of audio post. Re-recording, Sound design, ADR, Session management, and deliverable's. After that, interning at a post sound facility would usually be the way to go.

    4:02 for anyone else wondering what these are I think RX is used for noise removal & TransMod is a transient processor

    • @barnysmyth4
      @barnysmyth4 7 лет назад +2

      You are correct. We use RX denoise and declick alot. Transmod is used to soften the sharp transients in sounds, mostly feet.

    I am a beatboxer this is very interesting video. The editing is all wonderful , which I can do in the form of graphic arts From the UICA CHicago 1 north state street, it closed down and my finanicla aid was cut off . So I went back to Michigan and then , run these streets. Im just wondering , with my scion Tc 2011, if I'm driving it just for the phase of Foley?

    Interesting, the mixing console actually seems to be in the same room with the engineer wearing headphones. He better not eats any beans the day before then! :D Love the video, i record foley myself. Seems the sound designers found your cart too squeaky, it got replaced in the final mix. Greetings from Berlin!

    • @barnysmyth4
      @barnysmyth4 3 года назад +1

      Yes indeed, it was a demo of the process. Not all was in the final mix. I recommend an open plan setup. Speeds up the process. Glad you enjoyed it.

    • @barnysmyth4

      I made tea and answered phones for a post house in Camden, London. Then became an assistant mixer then moved into foley. That was about 20 years ago now!

    5:16 why is he recording on 3 channels?

    • @Audientworld
      @Audientworld  5 лет назад

      Those other channels you see on the console meters are actually the returns from previously recorded elements coming back from Pro Tools, so it could be some of the ambience tracks or other parts of the foley track that have already been recorded. There is only one mic actually being recorded in this situation.

  • @rolardnb
    @rolardnb 7 лет назад +1

    great work! guys, what shotgun mic do you use?

    • @Audientworld
      @Audientworld  7 лет назад +1

      They used a Sennheiser MKH60-1 for this video, but they have a selection of other mics as well.

    • @barnysmyth4
      @barnysmyth4 7 лет назад +1

      We use a Sennheiser MKH 60, great mic for spot fx mainly but also some feet

  • @systematic-sound
    @systematic-sound 7 лет назад +1

    Recording all Mono with a MKH 60 I guess :)

    • @barnysmyth4
      @barnysmyth4 6 лет назад +2

      yes, although we do occasionally shoot stereo atmosphere tracks. We use a range of Sennheiser mics aswell as contact mics and dpa miniatures.

    • @patrickgasda3447
      @patrickgasda3447 3 года назад

      Why do you use shotgun mics instead of cardioids? I’d really like to know the reason behind that because it seems to be quite common for Foley recording, but I can’t make any sense of it yet.
      Amazing video, thanks for sharing.

    thought foley artists worked in their undies? pants/shirt create unwanted noise.

    • @randomencounters
      @randomencounters 7 лет назад +7

      Eh, not all the time. For certain things, yeah, it MAY be necessary, but when you don't have a crapload of time, it can be more cost effective to, for instance, do footsteps with long pants on to create a bit of additional white noise, even though it's not in the "right" track. It can help glue the steps together.
