What is Foley Effect? • Foley is creating and recording 'live' sound effects to be added to a film, video and other media program in the post-production stage, providing a controllable background layer of sound that produces a rich and realistic audio environment.
These reproduced sounds can be of anything from the clothes rustling, breaking glass and footsteps to squeaky doors. • The real Foley art is so well integrated into a film that it goes unrecognized by the viewers. • It basically helps to generate a real sense of reality within a scene. • Without these crucial background noises, films feel unnaturally quiet and awkward.
Why is it called Foley? • This technique is named after Jack Foley, who created the basic modern techniques which is still used. • Like most terms that are named in honour of a person, it is common to spell Foley with a capital "F".
