To create great foley, it’s important to set up a good work station to capture it. Find a quiet area and keep your headphones on to monitor your results. And don’t be afraid to get creative – sometimes the wrong item can be the right item. Test out different objects to see what sounds they make and remember, you can always manipulate the audio in post to enhance your track.
