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.
