SCENE 01 / FOLEY RECORDING
Foley Recording
Precision foley artistry that brings authentic human presence and tactile realism to every scene through masterful sound performance.
Foley recording creates custom sound effects by performing and recording physical actions synchronized to picture. Foley artists recreate footsteps, clothing rustles, object handling, and environmental sounds on a specialized stage, adding layers of realistic, intimate audio detail that production recordings cannot capture.
We connect you with Foley stages and experienced artists who bring scenes to life through precise, synchronized sound performance. Our team coordinates session scheduling, prop sourcing, and technical recording to ensure your Foley tracks add rich, authentic texture to your production's soundtrack.

Custom foley performance on Korean stages
Here is how this works in practice. Foley recording in South Korea takes place primarily on dedicated stages clustered around Seoul's The DMC hub and Yeouido districts, where rooms at Live Tone Studio, Tigertail Sound, Mediaslash and Sonokine keep wide surface libraries. Concrete pads, hanok-style wooden floors, gravel pits, sand, tile, carpet and specialty surfaces tuned for both today's urban scenes and period drama. Our team sets up spotting sessions with the foley artist and watching sound editor, sources character-specific shoes and clothing.
Here is the short of it. Books stage time around the project's mix schedule. Footsteps are recorded surface-by-surface to match the visual context: the wet asphalt of a Hongdae alley, the polished marble of a Gangnam office tower, the loose stone underfoot at Bukchon Hanok Village. Each performance is captured at frame-accurate sync to picture so the final mix engineer can drop the foley stem straight onto the timeline without retiming.
Here is the breakdown. Beyond footsteps, the work covers cloth movement — the rustle of a hanbok sleeve, the creak of leather tactical gear, the slide of a wool coat against an office chair. And prop handling across the full range of objects a production needs replaced or augmented. Korean foley artists working through our network bring wide experience matching character physicality across Korean drama, feature film and global co-productions.
They study reference cuts before performing so weight distribution, walking rhythm and emotional state read on the recorded track. We deliver ordered foley stems split by category — feet, cloth, props, specifics — labelled per scene and ready for the dub stage. Remote-watched sessions are ready for global clients who want to direct via video link rather than fly to Seoul.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is foley necessary when you have production sound?
Production sound primarily captures dialogue. Foley adds the essential human sounds - footsteps, clothing, object handling - that make scenes feel real and complete. These sounds are often missing or inadequate in production recordings due to microphone placement focused on dialogue rather than movement.
What surfaces and materials can you record?
Our foley stages include extensive surface libraries covering concrete, wood, gravel, grass, sand, carpet, tile, and specialized surfaces. We also maintain comprehensive collections of shoes, clothing, and props. If your project requires specific materials, we can source or create custom surfaces to match.
How do foley artists match character movements?
Our foley artists study character movements, personalities, and physicality to create appropriate sounds. They match walking rhythms, weight distribution, and emotional states. A heavy villain walks differently than a nimble hero, and our artists capture these nuances in their performances.
Can foley be recorded remotely?
While we prefer in-house recording for quality control, we can conduct remote-supervised sessions where you provide direction via video link. We'll share reference recordings and works-in-progress throughout the process to ensure the foley meets your creative vision.
