Jack Foley

Jack Donovan Foley (April 12 1891 Yorkville, New York – November 9 1967 Los Angeles, California) was the developer of many sound effect techniques used in filmmaking. He worked on the pictures such as "Melody of Love", "Show Boat" (1929), "Dat Ol' Ribber", "Spartacus", and "Pink Submarine". He is attributed with inventing the art of Foley, which is the process of adding sound effects such as footsteps and environmental sounds to films.

Those who work on sound effects in films are often called "Foley artists".
