Sound effects person in post

The person who creates “Sound Effects” for a film.  This very specialized “Post Production Work” is recorded on a small sound stage with a recording engineer.  These Sound Effects are added to the soundtrack by adding Sounds that weren’t picked up by microphones on Set.  The Foley Artist also “sweetens” recorded sounds in order to make them much more effective…such as enhancing the sounds of a fist fight by breaking items such as glass or by “thumping” on watermelons or “cracking” bamboo.

The sounds effects of everyday sounds

 

Foley refers to the sound effects of normal, everyday sounds. Though it is sometimes used interchangeably with the term “sound effects,” Foley specifically refers to the sounds of everyday noises, which synchronize on screen. Foley typically does not include sound effects created by computer, which are typically considered part of special audio effects. Foley also does not typically refer to background sound effects.
