I just returned from directing my first bonafide Foley session with my good friend and audio wiz Jason Young. Jason's got a great little studio and runs his own little shop called Invisible Strings. In addition to doing film sound and mixing, Jason's an accomplished composer and musician. He's also got a blog he runs called The Big Think.

Doing Foley work was the coolest. Jason and I had so much fun. We recorded newspaper sounds, a laundry basket sliding on the floor, footsteps, punch being poured from a ladle... If you haven't done any Foley work, I highly recommend it :). We're finishing up our latest Programming Pack, Church Volume 1, and the short we're working on is called "The Body" (You can check out our other Programming Packs by hitting the Volumes tab on our Home page). It's a funny piece where all the actors are playing body parts. They've got shirts that say "Eye" or "Ear" or "Appendix." Eye, Ear and Foot live together and Ear is arguing with Eye about how there must be more to life (Eye has seen it all don't you know), when they get an invitation to a party where the whole body is invited. No spoilers here. You'll have to wait and see what happens. Suffice it to say that the shoot was fun, post is going great, and we can't wait to have it done in the next couple of weeks!
