Oh no…she’s hot
Damn They Hot 🎉
4:11 no wonder why those sword sound from sound ideas and hollywood edge were made, it came from meral shovels, machettes and butterfly knives.
I always thought krabs walking was made with a sped up metronome
Mr krabs walking sound is one of the funniest cartoon sounds😂 it’s up there with Tom from Tom and Jerry screaming lmaoo
Thinking about the smiling friends lollypop scene now
why r u lying. spongebob is like entirely stock sounds
They surely have to consider good microphones to pick those sounds up properly. 🙂
So bad !
What a crazy way to make a living. It's fascinating to see what makes which sounds.
Does anyone know what SpongeBob episode it is at 0:36 and 0:49 please ?
Remember seeing it as a child a fascinated me at the time
Do Not Try These At Home
That's not how Mr. Krab walking sound I remember
Start with nothing, and end up creating ages of entertainment and inspiration. Invader Zim was a favorite of mine. GIR was just amazing! Thank you for what you do!
Foley’s not quite what it used to be.
6:43 That's what she said.
Once the sound effects are recorded, they go into the library and can be inserted during edit assembly. Foley is not used nor necessary to do for every cartoon. You will notice that the effects are the same. This is why. What you are seeing is the creation of new and original effects, which are necessary since the effects used over the past 60 years have become cliche's and worn out.
I'm not interested in these crap cartoons I'm looking for real cartoons. `30's, `40's and `50's.
Some thimes they do amazing job but other times its crappy one
Very goooooid joiooob
It makes you appreciate animated movies even more
Looks like a fun job. I just wish they'd stop using squealing tire sounds when the car's on gravel or mud, and stop with the gun cocking every time someone points a gun or waves one around. Other than stupid film conventions like that, Foley is awesome.
She’s sexy AF 😍
If I could turn back the clock 30+ years I would be a foley artist. It’s seems like such a fun and challenging profession.
Foley artistry seems to be very fun work, but often difficult job to do. I like how it requires abstract thinking as well as considering the character shape and it’s features. My favorite film sound is the one with the slide whistle!
This looks like a stressfull job if you don't have imagination, but super fun for the right person.
every cartoon is hand tailored by a “foley” 🎉 👍🏼🏆
I need these Jordans.
THIUUUUQ
I could definitely see this becoming entirely ai generated at some point
This lady single handedly made all our childhood favorite tv shows a reality.
