A&D P.2 - Artist Research

Date: April 14 2016

Artist/Designer/Maker you are researching:

Introduce the artist/designer/maker.

Discuss the artist's background/history, the kind of work that they create and in what area (i.e. architecture, performance, fine art, shoe design etc.
Dean Minnerly is a Foley artist for Universal Studios. His job is to take anything that on the screen and recreate the sounds that goes with it. If it was a sci-fi film he creates sounds that would go with the film. 
He is known for his work on Momento (2000), Ted (2012) and American Wedding (2003).
He has been working as a Foley artist for about 35 years.  


Discuss one piece of the artist's work and relate it to the work that you are doing: 
He creates the illusion of movement by rolling his foot to make it sound as if he is covering distance, the microphone doesn’t move. He rolls his foot to the inside then the outside it gives the illusion that he is actually walking backwards or forwards or sideways. (Tracy, 2012) 
I want to record footsteps and wanted to have good understanding of how to do so. So after watching the video of him demonstrating it I went ahead and started to record footsteps.
