How Movie Sound Effects Are Made

- Our ultimate episode is here - the foley episode! This time on Sound 101 Andrew heads to the Sync Tank to meet with foley pro Jody. She gives him the full rundown on the origins of foley, what a foley studio looks like, what kind of props are lying around, and how the process works. We even got a look inside the booth with audio engineer TJ!
Buckets, springs, gloves, phones, shoes - you name it, they have it. Foley is the re-creation of sounds for emphasis in movies and TV that they are unable to grab on set. Production audio doesn't always cut it so sometimes you need to supplement with specialized sound effects. Foley is the recording of those SFX.
We examine resonance, prop choice and even the cue sheets that the foley artist gets when analyzing a scene. Be sure to check back next week when Andrew tries his hand at a scene from Night of the Living Dead!

What's your beginner's foley tip?
Deity Microphones the toilet tank lid sounds a lot like a large rock being moved
Record noise from your computer/laptop, dup a few times (out of sync) and use for ambient large space or IT room tone.
@@federicobanos624 Nice. Or dragging it across the top sounds like a street sewer plate being dragged open.
Walking through mud: get a bowl of wet and fresh macaroni + play around with one or two spoons!
Peter Slegers squishing wet popcorn for stabbing sounds works too!
Thanks Andrew - very cool to get a look at a real foley stage!

Great work Andrew! Was a pleasure listening to Jody and TJ. And TJ hits the nail on the head. The most important tool in your arsenal is your ears and developing those listening skills is the craft!
Awesome, TJ!
It would be SO MUCH fun to be on a Foley session.
Shhh... Let this be our little secret. I don't want the rush of ASMR peeps to ruin this for us.
Best video yet, Andrew! Can't wait to see the next one
Awesome video as ever Andrew đ always super informative, interesting, insightful & fun to watch keep up the stellar work!.
Very cool. Love this episode. I would like to see your suggestions on how to create popular foley sounds that someone can mimic at home without elaborate gear.
This is an old art, and a joy to play with! When you listen to old radio plays, you can learn how they tell a story and highlight important parts with just one or a few noises. We might not be Stuart McLean, who didn't need a boost, but we all tell stories. And by scripting and highlighting them, and listening to feedback, we might learn to feel how little sounds we need to make our videos special.
I'd love to see an episode with tips and tricks to record sounds at a sports event, let's say a mountainbike race. How do you emphasise or play down the event's speaker, noises from the public, noises from wheels, chain, breath of the riders, etcetera? How can you elevate the flat, average home video or tv footage sound, to a filmic experience?
I did the BBC Studios tour in London and we got taken to the radio department and we could play around with all the sound effects stuff they had there, it was fascinating! Its truly an art in itself.
Awesome info! I would love to see a video crash course to teach your friend (with no location sound experience) to help them stand in on a short film/ CZcams project doing the sound.
Great job Andrew, Enjoyed it.
This was fascinating and super informative to see how pros do this. And I thought I had a lot of "gear." Ha!!
But do they have that special garden hose?
@@peterslegers6121 WOW! Even I didn't remember that!
@@BasicFilmmaker Lol, it's a curse. ^^
@@peterslegers6121 Ha! đđđ
Wow! Thanks. That was quite an insight into the sound of movies. I have seen other videos also on the subject but the resonant bit was totally transformative. How about sync sound recording next?
Loved this week's episode. I had commented about making a video on how to make sound effects. Another good one would be on different ways to record the sound if cars moving and there exhaust. Just all a out cars. Thanks for the great videos guys!
Strong signal to noise ratio, my dude... Unless you can get a car inside of a treated room :-). Otherwise, I would recommend wide open parking lots or fields.
great content thank you sir
Watch out world; Deity is finally learning how to make sounds without using their mouths!
Stay tuned, everybody, soon they'll show us all how to turn some knobs on a mixer board to make everything sound better!
I can't wait, Deity!
It would be so cool to see how they create sounds for objects or creatures that donât actually exist in the real world.
semi-unrelated: but if you have the money to spend, Dehumaniser is a cool plugin for creature voices. something cool I found.
I'd love for you guys to cover micing for live theater in a small (100 seat) theater where the actors aren't mic'd. So often it just a single shotgun mic or an XY, or maybe you're lucky and you'll get to place some hanging mics in the rafters, but often the sound is hollow and missing dynamics, especially during singing. What would your approach be to get the best sound possible?
as podcasting grows, we producers are always trying to translate these videos into specific knowledge for our needs. how about a video dedicated to the guys hunting for stories aout in the street with a shotgun mic... thanks!!
It was very interesting about FOLEY'S FOLEY'S RECORDIST. Very good job. My question is: How to setup the HF ANTENNAS TO GET A LONG DISTANCE CONVERSATION ON FILM'S LOCATION ? Usually I use different wireless microphones. Thanks for your understanding. God loves you all.
Really insightful video as always :) Thanks all!
I think a run and gun audio tips video would be really useful for vloggers and beginners. It can be a bit overwhelming for newbies like me to keep track of audio quality while shooting. So a few tips from the pros would be awesome!
Always refer to your VU meter! Don't find yourself relying on if it sounds loud or quiet in your headphones or speakers, check your VU meters to make sure signal comes between -16 to -8 db. (Some people say -12 to -6 or -18 to -12, but you'll figure our what works best for you given your recording chain.)
@@insanejughead i'll have to look into one!
Hi, this is really interesting. Can you recommend a good mic please? I have good ears already. Thanks so much will subscribe to your channel for sure.
How about a whats the best way to match all of your sound through different microphones, between a lav, shotgun and so on. Nothing worse then your sound moving all over the place during your video.
