No Norse weighs 5,000 lbs; around 1,000-1,500 is more typical for non draught horses.
I thought why Ben Kingsley is doing foley
Whoah. Pretty cool
This seems like an SNL skit.
ASMR
0:21 you know what else is massive?
certainly a passionate way eating celery 😊
Cartoons I get, but the Live-Action stuff? Why not just use the audio from the boom mike?
This guy is different
AI will eliminate Foley artists' jobs.
I love how every foley artists recording studio looks like a messy barn
I am doing my life wrong
We have musician but he is sound engineer..
Narrator ruined it I'm out
Shoebill sound in movies=dragon puppets closing and opening their mouths
Okay, that's enlightening. But can anyone explain to me pls why not record some of these on-stage. while filming it? I mean they record actors voices and all, but can't take the sound of a lion scratching a carpet?
Really cool, did not even know that was a job. I'm glad for this as a movie buff, thank you for sharing this info
😆🤩💗💗💗
Having done some foley work for a friend's video I can confirm that rubber gloves are great bird and bat wings.
Ive never seen a 5,000 pound horse lol.
I WANT THIS JOB
I'm so glad he considered the weight of the horses in creating the foley for True Grit! It's one of my favourite things about watching a horse run; that thundering through the ground. With how important horses are to the setting and story of that film, it's good to achieve thet kind of detail. It sounds wonderful!
The thumbnail is probably the greatest image I’ve ever seen
So they couldnt use a microphone to capture the actual sound of the horses gallop?
If you see a film in the cinema stay for ALL the credits.
You get to appreciate ALL those who put their input into the making of the film.
Give them the respect they deserve.
Wake up one morning and he realize there IS a way to make a living😗
He gets paid $400k and he spends $17.50 on his equipment. Genius.
Use animals
God forbid they record an elephant walking…
Yes
NoI love passionate people.
This is man is greatly working hard, he is a motivating man for all this facts🎉❤
Why do they still need to make these noises? Shouldn’t they have enough recordings made during the last 70 years of film making? Is there any noise in the world that hasn‘t already been recorded? 🤔
Huge respect for this guy :))))
