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 term is named after Jack Foley, who began his career as a Stand In and later became a Screenwriter during the Silent Era and later helped Universal make the transition from Silent Film to “Talkies.”  BTW ~ The majority of films shot in “Bollywood” are filmed without any Sound Recording on Location. Everything has to be “Dubbed in” later during Post Production.
