Very cool and informative. The historical lesson with the tutorial made it even more interesting, and as I have been looking for a way to record sounds this way, I will definitely be using this in the future. Thank you for yet another great tutorial, Mr. Guelzo.
Awesome! Thanks for the intro, Jonah!
I work in a studio creating music for commercials, and we often handle the sound effects for them too. It’s a shame we rarely recreate sound effects (we mainly use a sound effect library), because sometimes the schedule/deadline just doesn’t allow it. But I’ve always been curious whether all the sounds in a movie are re-recorded, or only some – and judging from your explanation: to enhance or replace – it makes sense.
Love the picture of the foley studio you showed in the video (which looks like a completely different beast altogether from a recording studio), and never knew the term “foley” is derived from a man! Just like Faraday.
Cheers,
Endy… thanks for your comment. Makes me happy to know hopefully someone is gaining some insight from some of the different aspects of production sound I’ve done my best to teach. I’m actually up right now plugging in a bunch of sfx I recorded for a TV show. Very time consuming! And I’ll be in that Foley pit come tomorrow! Sounds like you’re doing some neat things… keep it up!
