Inspiration: Foley
Foley is the audio production in filmmaking. Foley artists reproduce sound and enhance sound effects in post-production. The making of sound effects can be surprising. For example, the sound of a ticking clock might come from a pair of clipping scissors! Foley artists need creativity and observation. Let's use the audio recording feature in Animation Desk to reproduce the sound for your animation!
