The Art of Foley
Foley is the concept of making sound effects using objects. The objects may be different than the sound that they are portraying. For example, stepping on sand or cornmeal may sound like a person walking through snow. Watch the videos below to see Foley in action.
Video Game Sound Design
Video game sound design and music composition is very different than that of traditional music composition. In a video game, the player is in charge and the environment and sound must adapt to whatever the player does. Watch the YouTube videos and read through the PDF to get a better idea of sound design and music composition in video games.
