My experience
In this project I learnt about working with a team of foley artists and being really imaginative with the types of sounds we were trying to make. It was really fun to experiment with materials and clothes, and getting the desired outcome was extremely fun.
This was a very fun project to work on and the team were very easy to bounce off of. We had lots of different ideas and I really enjoyed finding a good rhythm for recording the audio. I found that foley is an easier way to record fabric and footstep audio, saving time by finding a custom material. I hope to experiment more with foley to see what else I can use to add extra layers to a sound design.
