I honestly didn't know they used foley in docs o___o

You can only get true sound by hearing and not hearing. I am going blind and hear a natural beat in nature and nothing else feels quit as good! I understand the ambiance as I worked in Los Angeles. You mentioned Arnold , I was in the Terminator and after watching the the movie I saw the way sound was instrumental in the end product.

I always find these fascinating. These people, behind the scenes, really ought to receive more credit than they do. Keep up the great work, all of you who help build the beauty of production!

I never realized there was that much sound desien behind documentaries !

Awesome! Nature doco Foley is always so creative, love it

Props to Richard Hinton on his excellent foley work for Planet Earth II.

amazing, finally i have found some ppl that take sound serious, if not, the recource of EVERYTHING

The exaggeration might be a bit too much here for some tastes (i.e super close grass crunching), but he clearly describes why sound replacement is needed generally. When the narrator is informing of what's happening and setting up the scene, having distracting and incorrect sound is going to pull a lot of people out of the moment. Imagine if you heard all of the background banter of the film crew and tourists (as he shows here) when trying to get a sense of the danger a lioness poses to prey when in hunting mode. It will just jar and it isn't natural to hear all of that human activity. Also bound by the limitations of the time of day where they were able to capture shots, having an erratic switching of ambience feels jumpy. I personally much prefer the concept that documentary is an interpretation of what happens as best as they could capture on the day (or days) of filming. There's plenty of real-life human interaction from peoples camera-phone films on youtube, this is about a descriptive presentation of nature. If they can capture more usable audio in the moment - awesome! but it's going to be extremely difficult to do that for your average documentary show I'm sure.

So interesting. I Normally work with audio and music in video games. Film is so inspirering. It's the same audio process, but still a whole other world! :)

His Expressions at 1:45 ... Hahahaha...!! So True..!

Haha 3.46, the relief on the camera man's face!

Seeing that the information contained within these videos and sites has given us a proof of what, where and when we should stand corperatly and act upon these vital issue that continues to grow and destroy the planet Earth, the home for the entire living beings including plants, animals, fish, birds, human being and others Too that living around the surface of the earth. We all need a healthy environment that is able to provide us a healthy lifestyle that is not harmful with the effects of pollution and especially the human development of high business technologies and methods that were designed and applied in the land and the waters. We can be happy together when our new home is Pollution Free or else generations is continuing to suffer our individual business plans and attitudes. This is an important call for all nations to come back together to join this clean up compeign for tomorrow generation. Is going to be a war nations of the earth to fight in all areas of businesses activities, cultural activities and must involve our differences in age levels and so to bring peoples be a people as we will work together with every possible force and energy towards climbing deeper valleys and higher mountains in front of us. It is a tough task but clear and must in our clear thoughts and must acceptable in our measures. My appeal to you leaders and everyone together with generations to come to give in our efforts in contributing information and ideas to carry out the job as earlier as possible in order to save our lovely and beautiful home, the planet EARTH from dangerous pollution. Since I was a fisherman working for the last 12 years on the Pacific waters, it fully proved to me that the ocean should be in higher concern of pollution acts. Thanks. Tavake Bazil. Pacific waters industrial concerned.

You can tell that they added a fake burnt-in timecode for show. Any footage under an hour is reserved for identifying the shot, directors notes etc. Anything going towards the final cut begins at 01:00:00:00, and that is an industry standard for both film and broadcast. And about the on-set microphones, it sounds like they're using cardioid microphones instead of shotgun. It would explain the amount of bleed they get.

Hi, great video. Can you tell me which surround microphone and recording device you are using ?

In the past I had learnt what moves on screen has to have sound associated...

Next part please...

love it!!!!!!!!!!!

Muito bom!!!

amazing

To be more accurate, the 1920s did not add Foley because the mics did not pic up sound. There was no sound in the 1920s, until The Jazz Singer, so this explanation is not correct. My book, The Foley Grail, gives the correct history of how Foley began.

Good straff

Mind blown

amazing!!!

i will never watch animal planet again without thinking is this the animal breeding or a man behind a mic

Lol it's a kind of deception, isn't it? :)

Really Interesting! ;)

Hey! Wich kind of surround mic did you guys use to record those ambiences? Thx!

amazing! :)

How do you make an orange decaying sound?

420 is at 4:25

More episodes?

I can understand using this stuff in films and movies, but in real-life documentaries i'd rather just hear the real sound, not fake sound. the whole point of things like wildlife documentaries is to capture everything as it is, even if the sound does sound a little off, its real, and thats the point.

This felt like learning about santa 😔

Was the sound of music needed as well?! Sick of hearing music in every damn video!

nice

I want to be real space sound designer!

"Film Vehicle. Do Not Follow. Foul smell lingers. Driver needs a change."

What kind of mic / recording device was that at 2:07

Anyone else read nick Foley?

I thought they would put bananas in the tailpipe..

So. Fucking. Cool.

3:45 hahahaha

I feel like my whole life has been a lie 😩😩. Why do they want to fake noise of a documentary. Kinda takes the authenticity out of it!

their work really needs creativity. imagine movies without their help, it may be boring af

never use guitars and whistling when trying to be an audio expert

Why mess up the foley with shitty music??

oh man thats mean i hear fake sound at NatGeo wild and animal planet....
