What do Foley artists state in first-person interviews about prop choice, performance in sync with picture, layering and the relation to the mix?

Partially verified: the curator re-read S34, S35; S36, S37 were not re-read by the curator and rest on the producer's pinned reading. Foley practitioners describe performing each effect as a separate cue in sync with picture (moves/cloth, footsteps with chosen shoes, then spot effects), judging success only in context with dialogue and music, layering unusual sources (e.g. a damped piano string with copper wire) and choosing props to suit characters; one UK account gives about three days to record effects for an hour of drama. Curator qualifications: Partially verified: the curator re-read S34, S35; S36, S37 were not re-read by the curator and rest on the producer's pinned reading. Curator GET 2026-10-23 of the sources not re-read (mechanical source evidence, not semantic verification): S36: HTTP 200, bytes differ from the producer pin; S37: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin. Interviews and specs read 2026-10-22; no audio made. Pulse College and Designing Sound interviews (S36, S37) not re-read. Limitations: Interviews and specs read 2026-10-22; no audio made. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
