Foley folly
Typically “foley” (the re-creation of sounds for film) is done at the very end of the film process.
During the editing phase, though, I often want to use sound to initiate or ease a cut, or to bridge two separate moments into one.
That requires having the right sound in place to test if that cut will work or not. If the appropriate sound wasn’t captured in the field,
and I can’t find it in my sound effect library, then I do my best to make it myself, orthodoxy be damned!
Above, the shuffling of flip flops. Below, trying to recreate the sound of glasses being folded
and unfolded in the hands, as seen on screen.
