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.

Foley performance at Tecnison Madrid, Mediapro Post Barcelona, and Sonoblok with the Almodóvar emotional-foley tradition
Here is how this works in practice. Foley recording for productions finishing in Spain operates on dedicated performance pits at Tecnison Madrid (the heritage Dolby Atmos stage whose foley team has cut the bulk of El Deseo / Almodóvar features). Mediapro Post Barcelona (full Dolby Atmos certified site with multi-surface foley pit), Sonoblok Madrid, Dasara. Cyo Studios Barcelona, and Asuntos Pendientes Barcelona. The Spanish foley custom — shaped through decades of Almodóvar collaborations where intimate. Character-driven cloth and prop performance carries emotional weight equal to dialogue — emphasises detailed character-specific footstep recordings. Fabric and clothing performance scored to picture beat-by-beat.
Here is the short of it. And physical prop handling routed through pit walls finished in concrete. Ceramic tile, parquet, gravel, sand, water tank. And the regionally specific Spanish surfaces (cobblestone calle, terracotta azulejo, esparto matting) that authenticate Iberian-set scenes. Performance artists work alongside foley editors trained through the Tecnison and Mediapro pipelines, with foley supervisors setting up asset turnover, spotting notes, and per-shot performance briefs.
Sessions are booked matching the project's release ambition — theatrical Dolby Atmos features routed through Tecnison or Mediapro Post Atmos stages. Prestige series for Movistar+ / Netflix Spain / HBO Max / Disney+ / Amazon Prime / Apple TV+ run as multi-day foley packages with split character / cloth / prop reels. And broadcast features for RTVE. Atresmedia, Mediaset España, TV3, ETB, TVG. And À Punt cut to CNMC loudness compliance. Foley stems are delivered frame-accurate at 23.976 fps cinema or 25 fps PAL.
Here is the breakdown. With full M&E layouts ready for the multilingual Castilian Spanish, Catalan, Basque (Euskera). Galician (Galego), and Valencian dubbing pipeline. A key Spanish deliverable since the heritage 1,500+ films-per-year Spanish dubbing industry needs clean dialogue-free footstep and cloth beds for every language pass. Surface library expansion, custom prop sourcing through Madrid and Barcelona prop houses. And bespoke creature / sci-fi / period foley performance are arranged on a per-project basis with detailed creative briefs reviewed against picture before performance begins.
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.
