Foley Sound Research-
The Sound of COS from Lernert & Sander on Vimeo.
The Secret World of Foley from Short of the Week on Vimeo.
I am very interested in making my own sound for the short films, these two short films have given me a wider understanding on how to make the sound and what sort of impact it makes on the short film. The smallest things you wouldn't know are Foley sounds have been created using everyday objects, using this sound technique makes any short film feel more alive and busy and increase the level of emotion that the imagery is trying to portray.
Good website for how to make specific sounds-
