Foley artists use objects to create sounds based on a character’s movements and interactions in movies and TV shows. Sometimes, they will find themselves making sounds for animals. Marko Costanzo is a veteran Foley artist for c5 Sound, Inc. He has who worked on movies like “Ice Age,” “Life of Pi,” and “True Grit.” Costanzo explained how complicated it was to make the sounds of a dragonfly flapping its wings in “Men in Black,” and how he captured the footsteps of a dog at different ages in “Marley & Me.” Then, we showed him an animal clip he has never seen before and had him come up with the proper sounds on the spot.

Now when I watch a film, I will just imagine a guy in a basement making the noises.

I used to think that all these special sound effects in animation movies are computer generated.

The bird flying sounds are legit, just realize I’ve never paid attention to sound of real bird flying and prolly been hearing fake bird sound my whole life.

Imagine hearing a dog yawn in a movie and thinking “oh my god! That’s so cute!” But it turns out it’s just some dude who made the noise.

“So what does your dad do for work?” Me: “It’s complicated.”

Why no one is talking about the man who mixed all these sounds and produced that work.

Does his wife ever walk into his work and say "WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING WITH THE GROCERIES?!?!"

The sound of a sword or knife stabbing someone is always that iconic metal sound or swoosh sound - even though in real life there is no sound.

You have to be so creative to do this job. It’s like a combination of a child’s curiosity and wonder with some really impressive problem solving skills.

It's weird how once I'm aware of the foley sounds, the clip with the lion cub feels fake. But if I didn't know I probably wouldn't suspect a thing.

Did I search for this? No. Was I entertained? Immensely. Youtube: "Are you not entertained!?"
@isfp5220 3 years ago

the sound maker dude looks like a mad scientist with spare parts everywhere

I'm glad that this underappreciated art is being highlighted more often
