Killruddery Film Festival Foley Workshop

A one day Foley Workshop with Caoimhe Doyle and Jean Mc Grath.

Supported by Ardmore Sound.

Sunday 14th March at 12pm in the Killruddery Arts Studio, Killruddery House.

Suitable for young people from the ages of 10 and up.

What is Foley?

The workshop begins with an introduction to foley (definition-  all filmic sound effects which are produced manually) in which foley artists Jean Mc Grath and Caoimhe Doyle will provide an entertaining walk through the history of foley highlighting some of the best examples of the form. This introductory section will end with a screening of some great sound/foley moments in film.

Building a scene

The second half of the workshop involves an actual Foley session where each member of the workshop helps recreate an entire soundscape to a sequence from Sergio Leone’s One Upon a Time in the West. The group will use a variety of props and tools to slowly build an elaborate sound design for a sequence, getting right inside the process of foley (all props supplied). Each foley performance will be recorded to make up one final single piece. This part is a lot of fun.

The Final Screening

The final sequence including all contributions by workshop members will be screened in the mobile cinema before a live audience including family and friends.

Full Duration 2-3 hours. Final screening will take place at 3.30pm and will last about twenty minutes including presentation by Caoimhe Doyle.

Tickets are €26 and bookings can be made at the Mermaid Arts Centre Box Office @ 01 2724030 or book online here
