Here’s An “Inside The Movies” Story
The Academy Awards are this Sunday night. Millions in America, and, around the world will be watching.
I have always been fascinated by the "movie making" process, so thought that this story and video was very interesting.
Sound, of course, is such a huge part of any movie, from the music, to effects. It literally brings it to life.
When a Hollywood movie is shot, the microphones are only focused on picking up the dialogue. This means most of the background noise is lost, and it is up to an artist called a “Foley artist” to go back and recreate this background noise in post-production.
In this clip, Foley artist Gary Hecker, who got his start working on “The Empire Strikes Back,” demonstrates the fascinating techniques a Foley will use to make movies sound right.
