Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Unlike live-action movies, creating sound for animation starts with nothing, giving Foley artists more creative freedom.
- •
To create sounds for animated characters like Gir from "Invader Zim" or Appa from "Avatar: The Last Airbender," Foley artists use a variety of objects to match the character's movements and texture.
- •
In animation, sounds are often exaggerated to match the exaggerated movements and visuals, requiring Foley artists to heighten everyday sounds like footsteps, mouth noises, and fight sequences.
