Foley: the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to films, videos, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality.

-“it’s like memetics, you have to recreate the characters that are on screen, and put them into your performances”

-Everything is planned once footage is received, so it becomes a “huge map of sound”

-Not all the foley recorded is used in the final mix, but recording it all is recquired to “give the mixers as much ammunition as possible”

-Foley is broken into 3 main sections:

       -Feet: Foley artists will select a shoe that matches the characters, and will walk in time with the character on the screen.

       -Moves: Cloth movements are recorded with fabrics that match the screen.

       -Spot: Anything interesting that happens on screen that needs a sound.

-Foley has to follow and be stylistically compatible with the rest of the sound in the film.
