Foley

Foley fills the gaps production audio can't carry — every footstep, sleeve rustle, glass set down, key in lock, body fall. The artist performs synchronously to picture in a dedicated foley stage (concrete, gravel, wood, water, sand pits, prop wall), recorded by a foley mixer and assembled by a foley editor. The end result blends invisibly with production dialog and the design-side sonic content.

Foley credits often sit in the supervising sound editor's roster on awards; the MPSE Golden Reel sound-effects & foley category recognizes the work explicitly. Foley artists are listed here when CineCanon has a citable credit for them on a specific production.
