Foley Artist

I've never understood the metal on metal sound of a sword being drawn from a wood and leather scabbard. Now I know that it's actually the sound of the sword scraping against the knight's spatula.

My favorite foley moment is the jar being opened in a toilet to make the sound of the martian cylinders unscrewing in War of the Worlds. Second place to hitting power pole guy wires with a wrench for Star Wars blaster sounds.

I have freaked people out by crinkling stiff cellophane near the phone and telling them that I'm using my psychic powers to disrupt the phone signal.
