Short Film Foley

Christmas and New years have been and gone already and we're back into it!
With January coming to a close already, I managed to spend the last two weekend performing foley for 3 short films. Always fun doing shorts, as there is a lot of variety in a short space of time.
Cheers to A.Barber and M.Logie for the recording....


Busy times!


The art of Foley writing.....

Atomic Falafel

The last two weekends have been spent hard at work, performing foley for Atomic Falafel!
Car door grabs/touches, car seat movements, steering wheel grabs, couch sit downs / get ups, gravel walking, van tyres and a trusty dog have all been foleyed, under the guidance of A.Barber.
Much fun was had and a lot of different surfaces were used and abused:)


Car door / Seat action!

Couch action!

Dirt and Gravel feet 


Odds and ends - tools of the trade!
