Foley artists create realistic sound effects for films by manipulating everyday objects. The document lists several sound effects and potential Foley artist techniques for replicating them, such as snapping celery to mimic footsteps in snow or squashing a box of Rice Crispies to mimic galloping horses. Foley artists precisely control everyday materials to bring sound effects to life for movies.

Kissing in a

The people who generate sound effects for films are known as FOLEY ARTISTS. Look at the sound effects in the
boxes on the left of the sheet and take a minute or two to select which of the assorted techniques (jumbled up with
some fake techniques on the right in italics) is the real one used by professional Foley artists. Draw an arrow from
the technique selected to the box.
thumping a watermelon clicking your tongue against roof of mouth
hitting a bamboo pole with a drumstick flicking the microphone softly
slicing a cabbage with a knife playing the spoons
peeling apart two sheets of wet cellophane hitting your hand
treading on polystyrene packaging playing coconuts stuffed with cloth
snapping celery crunching grain held in a glove
hitting wood with an axe lifting a raw steak from a plastic surface
squashing a box of Rice Crispies kissing the back of your hand
