What is a Foley you ask? Well a foley is a person who is in charge of imagining the elements that are made up of a sound to replicate it for actions in film. You’d never think that they would have to recreate all of the sounds you hear when you are watching a movie, but in fact, most of the sounds you hear are not recorded while filming the actors. They make all the extras whisper to capture the dialogue. To find out more about what a foley has up his sleeves, check out the great short documentary of foley artist Gary Hecker after the jump.
