- I've been an artist of sound for maybe like
13 years now.
- And, I was always very passionate about umm
sound, music um,
The Sound of Music was always my favorite musical.
Hello. I am Carol Bisset and I am
a professional foley artist.
- Some sounds that I like are crunching chip bags,
(crunching chips sound)
squelching sound of, of
feces on a sidewalk,
in May.
A spoon full of yogurt being slurped to by an elderly man.
(sound of man eating)
- Something like that.
I think the thing that
separates me from other
foley artists is,
many use a big studio.
right?
For the sound, they're using crushing walnuts
for broken bones, coconut for the horse hooves
But me, it's not a,
I don't do that style, maybe it's me, for me is
more traditional style.
So I use only one tool, in the toolbox
My mouth.
(music begins)
(gun sounds)
(motorbike sound)
(helicopter sound)
(stepping on dry leaves)
(swimming)
- We are the true unsung heroes of the film.
If my work is exquisite
you will never know I was there.
I want to show you a clip I am working on right now,
this is a little,
a little kind of blast or bomb,
which we have here.
So I can show you maybe how I,
how I would, I can show you how I would approach this clip.
So I will play it in the three, two , one
(explosion sound)
- Cause, there is a lot of wind after,
and you see lots of little
fragments that come off.
I'll do it again.
(explosion sound)
- Big fire.
Then I will put this in my program here.
I like to keep it the natural um
how the sound came out of my body is how
I want the sound in the film,
but I will put maybe some
reverb on it and maybe compress it a little bit.
So that was my, that is my natural voice.
But, with edits,
little bit of edits, okay? Here we go.
So this is what for the film,
what it will sound like.
(explosion sound)
- It's not bad.
So it is, you do not need other tools to make this sound.
(explosion sound)
- I mean, come on. That is perfect.
This is the art.
This is where the art comes in,
and you see the difference between the people who, oh
(clapping pens)
- You know, I,
horses
jumping and running
This is not a horse.
What is this? This is two pens.
This is not foley
Let's say, let's roll it, okay.
We get a
here we go.
We must provide a conduit for the sound
to move through our bodies,
unhindered.
Flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap.
I do not judge the sound,
the sound judges me.
(owl sounds)
- There is a moment when
the sound
disappears and becomes part of the fabric of the film.
(explosion sounds)
- These are the moments I live for.
This is what it means to be a foley artist.
