Rodger Pardee, professor of recording arts at LMU School of Film and Television, was interviewed for this article about AI and Foley artists – the sound designers who craft the everyday sound effects that occur in a scene: footsteps, squeaky doors, swishing cloaks, the slap of leather reins.
“Foley is a key element in this magic trick we do of convincing the audience to believe in the movie they’re watching,” Pardee said. “Foley is not for explosions or jet engines. It’s for the footsteps of someone running through a forest or rock climbing, or the swish of a superhero’s cape, that kind of thing. Foley gives you the details. It’s the sound texture that anchors the sound mix.”
