Work Overview:
We partnered with renowned sound designer and supervisor Renganaath Ravee to deliver intricate Foley for the epic Indian film Malaikottai Vaaliban.
Objectives:
- Blend Eastern and Western Foley styles, crafting larger-than-life sounds for characters’ actions.
- Provide meticulously recorded Foley to meet strict M&E requirements and pass quality checks.
- Bring a diverse cast of characters to life with distinctive movements, footsteps, and sounds.
Approach:
- Cueing Foley with careful precision, ensuring each movement felt alive and immersive.
- Capturing sounds unique to Indian cinema, especially jewellery, expertly weaving them into musical sequences without distraction.
- Creating authentic vehicle Foley for four wooden carts, performed by two Foley artists simultaneously. Each sound captured character differences, social class distinctions, and historical accuracy.
The result: a vibrant Foley soundscape that enhanced storytelling, captivated audiences, and exceeded rigorous industry standards.
