Why It’s So Hard For Foley Artists To Make Footstep Sounds | Movies Insider | Insider

According to Foley artist Stefan Fraticelli, who’s worked on TV shows like “Parks and Recreation” and “Fargo” and movies like the “Conjuring” series, footsteps are the most challenging sound for a Foley artist to master. Finding the right footwear, surface, and sync is not always straightforward. For example, if he has to match a pair of high heels on-screen, real heels will produce an unpleasant sound against rocks or dirt, so he’ll use sneakers instead. And if he wants to create creepy creaking sounds on a wood floor in a horror movie, he’ll have to do it with just socks on so the sound fully comes through. Meanwhile, Stefan needs to have a really sharp ear for the subtle differences between the sounds of different types of rocks, because it won’t sound right if his Foley materials don’t exactly align with what’s on camera. Finally, keeping up with all the action on-screen involves a lot of practice in everything from rhythm to proper weight distribution. Sometimes, it sounds better to create tap-dancing sounds with your hands instead of your feet.

@8BitByte_ Год назад

For anyone wondering why they don’t just use the footsteps recorded on set; A lot of the time they aren’t even being recorded at all. Voice performances are always prioritized on a shoot. In fact, when it comes time to edit the sound, often only the dialogue is preserved from the scene. The background sounds are completely stripped away and created new. A sound edit is typically broken up into: Dialogue, Foley, Backgrounds, Sound Effects, and Music. I’m in my final year of film school and hope to become a sound designer/Foley artist soon :)

@heidicakessoapco5343 Год назад

Thank you! I was wondering why foley was necessary. I figured it was because the sounds were muted in recording so they needed to bring them out more. Didn't realize they completely stripped them out and start over. That's a lot of work!

@sandrasanders706 Год назад

@Aerodave11 Год назад

@CounterfeitDragon Год назад

I was surprised to see that the foley artist is actually performing the footsteps in sync with the source video! I was under the impression that nowadays, one would just sample a set of the appropriate noises and then composite them into the appropriate rhythm later, during the sound editing stage. I guess the former method allows for more subtle nuances in sound texture, while sacrificing absolute rhythmic accuracy.

@OgdenM Год назад

Just because that is currently how it is done doesn't mean that it is HOW it has to be done. It would be simple AND easier in the long run to just put tinny wireless mics everywhere and sync and edit the sound with the video in post. Put a mic on both shoes. We have the tech to make mics with wireless connectivity so small these days you won't even notice them. For stuff like say on a table, put mics on the table etc etc.

My favorite "we couldn't afford foley work" example is a scene from an episode of the ultra-low-budget Brit show, _Doctor Who._ The action takes place in a cavern that has been turned into some kind of temple. The Doctor is standing atop a stepped altar supposedly carved from a natural rock platform. He runs down to ground level and out of the cavern. Every step is the hollow booming of a very obviously wooden platform and floor. It's actually kind of charming, like watching your kid's middle school play.

@johanneshalberstadt3663 Год назад

It's so crazy how much work goes into this, yet it's something that most of the time people don't recognize consciously. Also, it's amazing to me, that it is still done this way. You would think that all possible variations of all possible sounds can be found in a digital stock sound library and mixed in placed at the right time.

@OddioStudio Год назад

It’s true that they could be, but this way is much more time, and therefore cost effective, as well as being a better fit than trying to edit everything together from libraries.

@pdrgallo Год назад

For a short, and small production, you might get away with library foley. The thing is, you are matching a performance that was made with a specific cadence of movement, with a specific shoe material, on a specific surface, that it would take you a LOT more time editing the library foley to get a convincing sound. If you work with foley artists (like the one in the video) they solve all those issues (performance, material, surface) in one, or several, tidy takes.

@GregHolmesMusic Год назад

Good point, although stock libraries don't have all possible variations, so it's important to manipulate them. For a recent film, I recorded some new sounds, but many were library sounds with digital alterations, including pitch shifting, equalization, time stretching, plus combining with other sounds. Each character had their own personal set of footstep sounds, for consistency and to tell the story. I started doing creature voices and "digital Foley" in 1985 for the Lucasfilm Ewoks and Droids cartoons, and can say that the tools are better now. 🙂

@rizahawkeyepierce1380 Год назад

It's probably a combo of improved foley work, improved recording technology, and improved sound mixing technology. My guitar teacher was just telling me that when artists recorded their songs in the 60s or so they'd be recorded on tape, but in the mixing process it wouldn't come out exactly the same speed, so the recording often ends up being a quarter tone flat or sharp (which you wouldn't necessarily notice unless you were trying to play along).

I wonder if this work affects enjoyment of movies, etc. Not completely, but always noticing sounds that no body else notices. (Like for me... I've done proofreading and editing professionally and on a volunteer basis, on both print and subtitles. I always struggle to not compulsively start editing things in my head when I'm, for example, watching something with imperfect subtitles , which isn't an uncommon thing.)

If I’m enjoying a film I become completely immersed in it without analyzing the sounds. If I don’t like it I start to listen critically.

I like that they are called foley ARTISTS, because that’s what they are!

Love this topic! Can you do other aspects in the entertainment industry? I'm an animator, so I don't really know what other roles are there to make a finished product.

all this work to make footsteps sound believable, yet hollywood still haven't figured out how cars sound when speeding off on different surfaces.. always the loud tire squeal even if they somehow manage to find themselves driving on top of the ocean...

I like his terminology, slidey, impactey etc

@OddioStudio Год назад

They’re descripty terms

Fascinating! So outside of work, is his brain still working? More concepts, more ideas, listening to the public moving around.. or is he with his airpods and just off the clock? Such a cool industry.

As if there are no wave editors around... I used to transform a haircomb teeth sound into a T-Rex roar, and a fork+knife hit into a sword clang with a wave editor!
