Foleysoft have release Foleysoft Footsteps, a foot step soind generator, available at the intro price of $129¿99, increasing to $149.99 after the promotion.
Create great sounding foley footsteps for any scene with a collection of 6 shoe types and 14 surfaces. Round robin and front step vs heel variation options creates a flexible approach to any scene to match production or international M&E. Assign different cloths to each shoe type for greater realism and blending.
It took forever, but every step of every round robin and mic position is edited to be only “heel” or “front” of the step, in addition to the full step and scuffs. For walk, medium pace and run. It might seem like a small feature but this enables a wide range of variety and realism. Sometimes a character is far away walking and a full step (front+heel) will not sound realistic, but only the heel will get closer to a desired sound that matches the envirnment of an actor or can work for a more realistic international M&E. Or mix and match between Full Step and front for a more natural sound.
Foleysoft Footsteps works for Movie Post, also for Game Cinematic Cutscenes and any work involving syncing footsteps to a character movement.
With many years of experience doing “finger foley” for many FOX, Disney and Warner TV shows and movies at times when the foley artists where busy, or using their own custom samples, Foleysoft learned that for footsteps there are other inherit things that happen besides a normal footstep sample, like moving a little away or closer to the microphone or adding a small “tok” between a step instead of a full slow step and scuff all the time. We wanted to capture some of these smaller details and be able to perform it via finger foley. For this product Foleysoft recorded all new samples using different mic tecniques and positions.
