The first video I was shown on Foley is by Gary Hecker, and his contribution to the film industry with his Foley art. I found the fact that he describes the art as a skill that must be practised very realising to the task we had ahead of us. I'm quite inspired of the idea of Foley and it allows our imagination to take hold of what different objects could be used to represent different things. Foley, named after Jack Foley (1891-1967) is a skill that requires a good realisation of time scales, making sure that the audio can be easily aligned with the other media forms.
Looking more into the aspect of Foley, I have researched other videos that describe the technique, I watched this video that also describes in an interview, how Foley is important in production, like the use of small sounds, the touching of skin, and kisses can't be picked up properly by the small microphones that the actors may wear, therefore it's easier both in the past and present day to insert the Foley afterwards.
