Foley Stage

Welcome to our new Foley stage. Designed and constructed in-house for the UK Film Council short film 'Frequency' (Gurchan Singh - writer/director. Hank Starrs - producer) which is scheduled to premiere at the Encounters International Film Festival in November this year. The Foley stage will allow us to create and record 'every day' sounds that are required as part of the sound post production process. This, coupled with our sound effect libraries and experience within the film industry, will add depth and enhance the film soundtrack. Our stage is very practical and efficient currently incorporating six neatly designed trays that allow us to expand surfaces as and when required. We have a selection of microphones and our isolated room facilitates accurate recording of sounds with an incredibly low noise floor. Coupled with fantastic visibility and talk-back communication, a great Foley performance is only a step away!

Mark says, "Using the Foley stage on our latest short made a real difference in the mix. The Foley recordings, combined with well selected room tones, atmospheres and sound libraries gave us complete control, providing all the necessary elements for great sound design and a dynamic mix. We have achieved a fantastic soundtrack which we are very proud of and the clients are extremely happy with."
