foley artists

Movie noise makers

Foley artists create sound effects for film, television, and other media by physically performing actions in a recording studio.

They walk on various surfaces to produce footsteps, rustle clothing, break objects, and manipulate props to generate sounds that sync with on-screen action.

The craft is named after sound-effects pioneer Jack Foley.

The foley artist crinkled cellophane to simulate fire crackling.
