ABSTRACT

Ask a Foley artist who his or her best friend at work is, and almost invariably you will be told it is the Foley mixer. An artist can be gifted, professional, and ef cient yet create disappointing Foley for a project. The reason is simple: the mixer is the partner in crime, and both artist and mixer need to have similar philosophies about the work and compatible personalities on the stage or the process will be laborious and unful lling.
