Her Secret Weapon Is a Wet Chamois Cloth

About this episode

Have you ever wondered who makes the sound of a footstep sound sad, or a pomegranate sound like something you'd rather not think about? Foley artist Laura Dale joins the Why Am I Podcast to talk about the invisible art of building a movie's sounds by hand, from a wet chamois cloth to a broken Colt .45 that has appeared in nearly every gun scene she's done. Along the way she shares how a dancer's sense of timing became her craft, how a lucky last-minute call led her to a master Foley artist, why indie filmmakers should never skip room tone, and why she believes there's no such thing as a small project. And yes, she makes a very persuasive case for New Mexico.
