Our Foley pit
APRIL NEWS FROM OUTPOST STUDIOS
The definition of Foley: Sound from a source other than the tracks
bearing synchronized dialogue, narration or music: sound effects
commonly introduced into a master track in the rerecording step,
usually with the idea of enhancing the illusion of reality. The
reality of Foley: It is part art, science, and perfect timing.
Marnie Moore is such an alchemist she brings her balletic movements
in time, producing beautiful sounds, all to enhance the story
telling process. And this month we were lucky to have her come
in several times to work with a variety of clients.
Filmmaker Claudia Leger’s "traces"
presents a series of cryptic and dreamlike encounters between
a woman and a younger man at an American roadside motel. Working
with cinematographer Walter Kotkowski, Dave Nelson, on Sound Design
and Marnie Moore, providing Foley, Claudia Leger was able to bring
this beautiful short to fruition.
Director/Producer Paul Wood produced two commercials for a large
high-tech company. Dave Nelson provided, Sound Design and Marnie
Moore, Foley.
