Actually the 2 foley artist in the this film which was done in and around 1979- Terry Burke and Andy Malcolm are Canadian foley artists NOT Hollywood foley artists like the opening voice over had mentioned. They both have done their fair share of Hollywood productions and continue to do so. Bot are amazing at their craft.
Hi Chris the film they're foleying was shot in Jorgenson and Kerr Halls of Ryerson, correct? The school would have been a Polytechnic at the time if so.
I saw this short years ago and was fascinated by it. The guys creating the sounds is way more interesting than the movie, and that is the whole point of this delicious short. These guys are amazing, and I had to d/l this just to watch again and again. Glad it's available!
The Great Agitator That's not what I meant, looking back on what I typed I see I wasn't clear. I know they still do this I watched the making of the Lord of the Rings etc.. I meant in regards to the fact that they have to do absolutely everything in real time they couldn't record the sound in the studio and sync it to the movie afterwards.
+Twinsen You think you could just "sync" the sound and it still sound realistic? No. Foley artists watch the footage as they make the sounds to maximize the effect and the timing. The more accurate you make the recording, the less time is spent trying to change it around to fit in with the footage.
Hooded ★ "You think you could just "sync" the sound and it still sound realistic?" Yes, of course. What the fuck? That's common practice nowadays. Most DAW's have video importing capabilities just for this reason. People record in real time but they shift and add sounds all the time in post processing lining it up with the video so they don't have to re-record every time there's a mistake, it's more accurate. I understand if foley artists get it good enough while recording it's less work but how would it sound less realistic if they line up the sound perfectly with the action after it's recorded?
+Theresa Laureta Well its a little different. Nowadays, people record each sound individually, rather than the whole thing all at once. They layer the sounds as they happen.
+TheHoruru To my understanding yes, in varying degrees. We might have scenes where sounds are coming from a variety of locations at the same time. These cannot always be recorded at the same time by the movie camera. Maybe some of the sounds coming from apperantly farther away want to be amplified, such as a sword coming from it's sheath. It might be up to the directors discretion.
While a soundman and a mixer were doing stuff like the two guys in this video, they had troule finding the right things to create a "realistic" sound for a small curtain that was abruptly opened. They worked for hours and couldn't find a good sound. The studio was getting colder as the hours grew shorter, and eventually the soundman's nose was starting to run. Instead of blowing his nose into a hankerchief, he just sniffed. Voila! The perfect sound, the curtain opened...
As an audio student studying foley at the moment i wanna say, besides the fact that this video blew my mind, it was also f***ing blew my mind as well. Absolute Gold!!!
Great example of Foley Artists at work, very difficult to do, that robber was very lucky at end to have that bottle there...and who could dislike this? This is how films are made.
I would think that the video of the foley artists here was recorded specifically for a documentary or something else. Any bits of foley work I've witnessed tended to split the different sounds into separate recordings, not one long sequence.
It was soooo cool! That's how the sounds were made in the movies such as in 90's. I think the foley artists are more interesting than the artists in that movie.
That was one of the best and most funny things I have ever seen. Not how it really happens, but this extreme version is great to show to the classes I teach! Better than listening to Ben Burtt ramble in his (ironically) monotone voice. :P
Back then they did not yet invent on-set sound recording. It wasn't until Stanley Kubrick made The Shining that film studios began to create their recordings on set. In this film, they show you how back in the day, the sound of two men destroying objects in a studio was acheived by two technicians (one of whom is an actual police officer) running around and beating each other up.
The fun thing is, what you are hearing is not the actual sounds the foley artists on the right are making--------they actually "foleyed" that part of the film after the fact! The illusion worked again!
I literally saw this exact video the other day (long story shot, I was on Kieran Culkin's wikipedia page and noticed he married a foley artist, so I checked it out). The weird thing is, now Dan has suddenly put it on his mystery video... Is there a link between me and Dan? AM I NERD³!?
It's actually far more accurate if you do it bit by bit. Doing everything at once is outdated as hell. The editing that is required for doing it one sound at a time is infinitely easier today than it was in the analogue days. Maybe back then it works best in one take, but today you just need to take your time and get it right one sound bit at a time.
Watching the Foley artists destroy the studio was more entertaining than the actual film clip.
Transient Wonderboy ...😂😂😂😂😂....ikr...was laughing at them wrecking the place up..
Prince Jraxson god damn it. i laughed so hard at them wrecking their props.
Transient Wonderboy I WAS THINKING THAT TOO
HOLY CRAP those guys are talented
and fit? LOL ^^
Being a film student and now learning Sound Foleying, and seeing these guys do this all at once is beyond me. These dudes are pros.
The scene where the foley artist smash the cabbage with his head GOLDEN laughed myself a sixpack
this is one of my favorite videos on the internet i hope it gets recommended to everyone by the algorithm one day
One take? That's an insane amount of memorization and coordination!
When someone says "what's foley?" This is the clip I show them. Absolutely brilliant and hilarious at the same time
Try watching this video with the foley artists only and you get to see two crazy guys.
haha yes but this is beautiful
My career consular obvious didn't knew about Foley art when he asked me what I wanted to be. Happily I found out myself. School sucks!

We agree... they truly are incredible foley "artists"!
+SoundIdeasCanada "thanks" for sharing this video
So wait, this is real and not a skit? I thought it looked like it could be fake, but really hoped this was actually the kind of stuff they did.
Andy Malcolm and Terry Burke have been doing this for years and continue to do so. Check out Andy's studio webpage

They're real artists. That was brilliant!

my mouth open up while watching. this is amazing
They had to record it in real time back then? Damn.
Twinsen
Foley artists still work that way. Only bad artists pull everything from stock libraries.
The Great Agitator That's not what I meant, looking back on what I typed I see I wasn't clear. I know they still do this I watched the making of the Lord of the Rings etc..

+Hooded ★ aren't you a fucking dumbass
So happy this was posted, I remember seeing this on SuperChannel in Canada way back in the 80s, and I still love seeing it
they are just like a bunch of gamers with oculus rift
"Cut! We're out of synch!" hahahah
Amazing! I found the Foley artists more interesting than the real actors. Do sound effects get created like this today?
yes they do :) amazing, I agree with you
+Theresa Laureta How else would they be created?
+Theresa Laureta Well its a little different. Nowadays, people record each sound individually, rather than the whole thing all at once. They layer the sounds as they happen.
+Colby Pierce So are foley artists still used? Or do they just have a massive database of sound effects at their disposal.
+TheHoruru To my understanding yes, in varying degrees. We might have scenes where sounds are coming from a variety of locations at the same time. These cannot always be recorded at the same time by the movie camera. Maybe some of the sounds coming from apperantly farther away want to be amplified, such as a sword coming from it's sheath.

hahahahahh
Best Foley video ever since not interrupted by host voices
As an audio student studying foley at the moment i wanna say, besides the fact that this video blew my mind, it was also f***ing blew my mind as well. Absolute Gold!!!
this is the most impressive thing ever, hands down!
These guys are incredible and funny as heck 😂
Holy heck this is cool. The art behind the behind of the scenes.
I enjoyed that immensely
Stuntman in a recording studio booth hahaha ^^ this is amazing and hillarious ^^ !!!
absolutely amazing talent why am I so impressed and facinated by this?!!
I remember seeing this on telly as a kid nearly 40 years ago and always thought it would be a cool job.
Wow, great video! This was certainly a true performance. Very clever, very creative!
This is absolutely hypnotic
Old school! Now they record each sound individually then layer it all together.
I didn't realize they did the whole scene! wow.
This is just epic edutainment at it's best! Thanks for uploading this informative video!
Incredible!! It's more difficult this, compared to the acting!!
Great example of Foley Artists at work, very difficult to do, that robber was very lucky at end to have that bottle there...and who could dislike this? This is how films are made.
I would think that the video of the foley artists here was recorded specifically for a documentary or something else. Any bits of foley work I've witnessed tended to split the different sounds into separate recordings, not one long sequence.
That's how it is with movies today. Not back then.
Wao first time I knew behind sound, fabulous job without sound nothing.great
Now if only I could record all the foley for an entire film in one take and on one track like these guys.
This is hilarious! ahah I wouldn't mind doing this for a job! ahah :D
lukesuperflyjones It's harder than it looks. After watching this I have grown immense respect for the people behind the scene.
This is so cool!!
MIND BLOWN!!
the funniest thing I've seen in ages!
This made my day 😂 😂
this is so amazing I just wanna try it haha
That looks like it'd be such a fun job.
this is amazing.
Wow, EPIC!!!
This is ART!
I found the whole thing cool and interesting but I busted out laughing after the freeze frame
Super, great. Thanks for the hint. Most of the benefits of this movie.
perfect!!
It was soooo cool! That's how the sounds were made in the movies such as in 90's. I think the foley artists are more interesting than the artists in that movie.
Retired Stein Koffman Yeah I heard that they are still doing the foley...
Plot twist: they weren't recording foley, they were trashing the studio for not paying.
That was so cool. Seems like a fun career. Might be stressful at times but seems really interesting.
It's like a whole staged drama production in making the sound for a movie.
That was one of the best and most funny things I have ever seen. Not how it really happens, but this extreme version is great to show to the classes I teach! Better than listening to Ben Burtt ramble in his (ironically) monotone voice. :P
Really cool stuff
Awesome Job!
That's so cool
Looks like fun!
Incredible!
i cant imagine having to make all the sounds at once in sync with the footage, its hard enough doing each sound individually
Was that a piece of meat on 2:42 ? OMG
I was sent here by a man who made himself laugh.
the lettuce headbutt was awesome!!! hahaha
cool it looks
hard to do
Damn, they go IN!!!!!
what movie is this because i need to see people do this again
Superb❤😍

i was sent here by a hitman, icing his victims
in a creative way :D
lemon up the ass?
J
I wonder if there's any foley on top of the foley
Why, i had no idea!!
What do horses vote for in an election? A STABLE economy.
yet they always vote NEIGH
NerdCubed!!!
Who is this cube of nerds? He sounds like an idiot
oVerTheToP 5o So do you.
The name is stupid.
He is. But he's the smart kind of idiot.
Any bibliographical information for this video? I plan to use it in a presentation, and need to reference it. :-)
imagine the amount of work juz making a simple movie...and we are like...fuck torrent im downloading for free.... such savages
This is hilarious!!!
just great
This rocks!
Damn ive been a Foley artist this whole time? who wouldve thought the Bathtub was a good recording studio
amazing
I literally saw this exact video the other day (long story shot, I was on Kieran Culkin's wikipedia page and noticed he married a foley artist, so I checked it out). The weird thing is, now Dan has suddenly put it on his mystery video... Is there a link between me and Dan? AM I NERD³!?
i think dan gets a few of his random videos from reddit
i just want to know what microphone did they use in this?
I thought it was going to turn into a sketch where the fly artists start fighting as well.
i was sent here by a horse not a man but a horse who's top priority when voting is a stable economy
I was sent here by a british man that laughed about a horse pun for a full minute, started crying then ended his video.
Why do a separate production of the sound effects to the actual shooting well in fact you could just shoot it together while filming?
damn just think nowadays they probably record and drag and drop where needed.
It sounds like a Foley Technician made sounds to the Foley Artists making sound to the action sequence.
It's actually far more accurate if you do it bit by bit. Doing everything at once is outdated as hell. The editing that is required for doing it one sound at a time is infinitely easier today than it was in the analogue days.

Dope!
impressive
Nice......
That so cool
The guy punching the beef in this clip is my father. He was a mean drunk who loved to punch things in real life too.
What is the name of this movie??? Please tell me.
I like this haha
What film is this?
wow!!😂
Foley artists also fighting in that studio with a meat
