2 days a week in at The Foley Room!!!

Wooooohooooo!!!
After convincing my current employer to allow me to drop my day job hours back to 3 days a week,
I will now be able to take up the offer of 2 days a week training at Tone Audio, under the watchful eye of the talented and very generous Amy Barber!!! Starting today!! Hell yeeeeees:)

Located in the Foley Room facility in Ellerslie, the work will include general session preparation, foley performance, foley editing, track laying and dialogue editing. Having had over 10 years of Post experience (incl 5 years at Reade Audio), Amy is passionate about high end audio for film and tv, and will be an amazing person to learn from. Bring it on!!!!!

Deathgasm - Teaser Trailer Debut

DEATHGASM FOOOOOLEY!!

As the foley for Deathgasm is falling on the 2 weeks I'm in Europe on tour, the very kind and generous A.Barber allowed me to get a head start and crack out a day of foley on it this weekend!!
Horror, gore, chainsaws, bogans and bullet belts - it doesn't get much better than this!!!!

Only Tools and Corpses - props from the film

Hacked in the back and dumped in a sack.... 

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.....

Wiiiiiilllllllsssssssooooooooooonnnnn!!!!

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!

Gore and Bones Foley!!

A full weekend was spent in the Foley room this weekend, doing more foley for Turbo Kid.

Saturday was weapons and a heap of body falls with A. Barber on record, which was great fun.

And Sunday was G-Tech and myself performing props in the morning and gore in the afternoon.

The gore foley was produced with a secret recipe of fruit (at peak ripeness) and gritty objects,

and was amazing fun. Under the watchful ear of A.Barber, we managed to produce some truly  cringing bone breaks, splatter impacts, face blending and an epic 'lower jaw removal then re-insertion into face'.
Epic mess - epic times!!

I also reached a personal milestone - I got to foley bone rattle with an actual dog skeleton from my bone collection. The rattle of the Cadaver Dog.....It does not get much better than this:)

Big thanks to Amy and G for an excellent weekend!!

The rattle of real dog bones

Gore is best!

Additional foley for 'Turbo Kid'

Another day in the studio today for more BMX action and weapon battles!!
