Foley in the great outdoors(?!)

Another great video that my students have enjoyed recently about sound design and the art of Foley sound effects is this - explaining how faked sound effects even need to be added to wildlife documentaries. I observed ruefully to one class that this is a bit like having a magician show you how a trick is done; it tends to compromise your enjoyment of the rest of the show. It is an excellent tutorial on the use of sound in TV and movies, though. (And the scene where a cameraman gets cornered by a lioness is priceless!)


This production company, Earth Touch, have several other fascinating videos on their YouTube channel.
