Foley Recording Session

Session Review

Proceeding from the peer review in the last session, the feedback received was surprisingly positive despite the entire narrative in the audio piece not entirely clear.

Moreover, after taking out the sound recording equipment the funny thing was physically setting up the shotgun microphone to the rest of the equipment was done with little trouble, however, figuring out like an alien how to even turn the Tascam DR-40 recorder on despite using it for other tasks such as the Motion Graphics sound design workshops was tedious.

Moreover, once I discovered how to operate the Tascam, the first order of business was to re-record most of the indoor foley sounds I recorded with a phone such as a rifle loading and additional sounds I needed such as the static radio, concrete footsteps and various other sounds I recorded for future use.

Overall, despite having to work quickly and improvise several of the intended sound effects I deeply enjoyed using the shotgun microphone and pistol grip since the quality of sound recorded with it is good enough to be placed in the existing noir audio track and stored in a sound library, for future projects requiring foley.
