These were the videos that helped me the most with understanding foley, the art of foley, how it started, how to record it and how it is made and added to films.

This video helped understand the software and the way you use it. Also I learnt some tricks that I used in my editing as well.
This video explained the art of foley and the process of it. It also talks about how foley is what fills the gaps between the dialogue between characters and the music in the scenes. Also the foley artists mention how you have to feel the character you're walking as so you can convey their personality and the way they are feeling with their footsteps. Because if someone is angry they walk in a different way than a happy person would walk in They as well mention how you start to analyse and listen to so many things in the real life and you start to notice sounds you haven't noticed before.
This video shows more than it tells. Basically it shows the moving image we see in the film and the video of how the sounds are actually recorded behind the scenes and in the studio. It shows the real sounds behind those heard in the actual film.
In this video they talk about the making of the sounds in cartoon or animated films. The sound effects bring the pictures to life. "While you're doing a cartoon sound you have no sound to start with so you have the entire sound track to play with and create from scratch". Sound can gives music a sense of character. After the animation is in place, the sound effects and foley artists start to add the sounds to the moving picture.
This video was the most helpful regarding the props and surfaces used in a foley studio and on a foley stage. The foley artist mentions the surfaces they have to walk on and how the surfaces actually extend to a couple of meters under the ground to give it more of a natural sound while recording.
He also says that in most foley studios there has to be more than 10,000 prop for the foley artist to have more options with the sounds they can record and the sounds that they can make using many different props.
The priority on the day of the shoot is to get the dialogue between the actors rather than the sounds. In most high budget films now a days around 80% to 90% of the sounds are recreated, completely. "Sound is a very persuasive tool" With some sound effects foley artists use more than one prop then layer it over each other to give the final effect.
