iFootsteps

big_icon_37809.png The iFootsteps app contains 21 different sound of footsteps. Walking on the beach, runing, stomping, walking in heels... Made by a Jack Foley fan?

From Lost and Found Sound: A Brooklynite of humble origins, Jack Foley makes for a rather odd Hollywood hero. His face was never seen on the silver screen, nor was his name ever up in lights. Yet Foley's legacy breathes life into every film and television program you see. It is there every time you hear a footstep, a slap, or the rustling of clothes.

Foley perfected a method of projecting a film and adding all these sound effects in sync with the moving picture, slamming a door when a heroine stormed out of the room, clanking swords when gladiators fought.
