The term "Foley" goes back to the film pioneer Jack Foley, who developed a method for creating realistic sound effects for films in the early days of sound films. Foley began his career in the 1920s at Universal Pictures and developed an innovative technique in which he worked with various objects and materials to create sounds for characters' movements and actions. His contribution to the film industry was so significant that the technique he developed was named after him - "Foley work" or simply "Foley". Jack Foley was an American sound engineer and film industry pioneer known for his pioneering contributions to the creation of sound effects in films. He began his career in the early days of talkies at Universal Pictures, where he developed his innovative Foley technique. Foley realized that the natural sounds created by filming are often not enough to create a realistic soundscape. He therefore began imitating and creating sound effects using objects available in the studio. For example, he was able to simulate the clattering of horse hooves with coconut shells or the rustling of leaves with paper. His method revolutionized the way sound effects were created in films, and his work contributed significantly to improving the audiovisual film experience. The term "Foley" became a staple of the film industry and is still used worldwide today for the art of creating sound effects.
