History of Foley
Foley artists have been creating sound for radio, broadcast and cinema since the 1920s. Audio recorded onset wasn’t sufficient so the name Foley was born. It was the job of the Foley artist to create sound effects to enhance the final production.
Lift your next movie project
Foley or sound effects can be added to a film to bring an animated character alive. Steven Speilberg’s – Jaws would have never had the blockbuster impact if all you could hear was the sound of people pulling strings.
