Bear Left TV Foley examples

LOTR TT Sound Design

As you can see, it is about listeiening to sounds and matching them up to movements on the screen. The listening is essential, as what creates the sound in the studio is not the same as what we see on the screen.

In class we will work with footsteps and clothing sounds – this is the mainstay of the foley artist. However, I excpect you to explore sounds for your own sound designs – and rememebr to make notes of what you find!
