The foley-lounge / Germany

The foley-lounge is one of the few state-of-the-art foley studios in Europe.

Located in a quiet backyard in Flingern, a quarter of Düsseldorf/Germany, these fives studios has been purpose-designed -principly- in conjunction with Ted Swanscott, George F. Hapig, and the grand old lady of foley - Beryl Mortimer.

The recording area has been acoustically modified to provide varying sound environments, e. g. from "inside a hall" to "outside dry". It is equipped with several pits for different walking surfaces, a collection of doors (wooden front door, cupboard door, iron door, etc.), a specially designed "wet stage" (which is one of the biggest in Europe), and thousands of devices for generating any possible sound our clients want to hear (...and sometimes even didn`t expect ! ).

In our foley sessions we recreate the "live" atmosphere of the pictures and capture everything as if it had been recorded "on set". All our foleys are recorded directly to Protools 7.4 or NUENDO for instantaneous capture and playback, with separate control rooms supervising the huge foley recording areas.

We deliver our foley sessions throughout our "Digidelivery" account or DVD by courier.

This is what John thinks about our foley work :

Hi George,

I've just been doing the International M&E's for Mutual Friends and I
have to say the Foley is sensational when you hear it in the mix
alone. I'd say it's the best I've ever worked with, everything is
covered and works with very little mix effort, great distance. Here's
hoping for lots more work together so don't go bust or retire!

All the best,

J

This is what Max thinks about our foley work :

Dear George,

Just wanted to say many thanks for the great work you two have done.
We are all impressed considering the time restraints that you and I have had
in getting the locked cut and it all sounds great.

So, again thanks really for the great work we are hearing.

With warmest regards to you both

Max
