Foley, Foley, Foley!

It always seems like I go missing for a while.  I guess helping keep the theatre going keeps me busy....  So for our December Show - "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play" adapted by Joe Landry, we brought all of the light and sound equipment down stairs and are doing our best to use no digitized effects.  Every sound effect will be made live, right in front of the audience.  So we have a table full of glasses, and beans to spill on metal cookie sheets, and a wind machine, a thunder sheet, and my favorite a bucket full of water and a plunger.  There will always be 3 of us, and at times 4.  It takes a lot of hands to make foley work out with a live show.  We have a couple of weeks and things are coming together, with a couple of things to go.  Having a hard time doing a good 1940 car noise.  I also would like to see us improve our door noise by using an actual door.  Mostly for the visual as much as anything else.

I'll put more up here as we get through Turkey Day and closer to opening on the 2nd.  Maybe even whatver we do to make a car noise (we tried a trombone, a little too much).

Stay Techie my Friends!
