BBH LA Special: The Art of Foley

"

Have you ever watched a movie and wondered how the hell did they make the guy jumping out of a plane while shooting a semi-automatic weapon, deploying his parachute and landing in a river, sound so incredibly real? Well, that’s the genius of a foley artist. One of Hollywood’s best kept secrets. Tara Blume has been a freelance foley artist in Los Angeles for the past eight years. She studied voice at Boston's Berklee College of Music, majoring in music production and engineering. It was there she took a visual media course that opened up her eyes to foley. Over the years, Tara's built up an impressive foley arsenal, not limited to a Holy Bible, a machete, and an impressive coconut collection. You’ll be amazed to see what actually goes into capturing the essence of Hollywood’s sound effects.
