| Wikipedia: Jack Foley |
Jack Donovan Foley (April 12, 1891 Yorkville, New York – November 9, 1967 Los Angeles, California) was the developer of many sound effect techniques used in filmmaking. He worked on the pictures such as Melody of Love, Show Boat (1929), Dat Ol' Ribber, Spartacus, and Pink Submarine. He is attributed with inventing the art of Foley, which is the process of adding sound effects such as footsteps and environmental sounds to films. His crucial founding role in the development of Foley is documented in the 2009 book The Foley Grail. [1]
Those who create physical sound effects for films are often called "Foley artists".
