SCENE 01 / FOLEY RECORDING
Foley Recording
Precision foley artistry that brings authentic human presence and tactile realism to every scene through masterful sound performance.
Here is how this works in practice. Foley recording creates custom sound effects by performing and recording physical actions synchronized to picture. Foley artists recreate footsteps, clothing rustles, object handling, and site-level sounds on a specialized stage, adding layers of realistic, intimate audio detail that production recordings cannot capture.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with Foley stages and skilled artists who bring scenes to life through precise, synchronized sound performance. Our team sets up session scheduling, prop sourcing, and tech recording to make sure your Foley tracks add rich, authentic texture to your production's soundtrack.

On Location
Croatia's Zagreb audio-post community delivers custom foley for film, television, and documentary, recorded on dedicated stages and built into mixes that meet EBU technical standards for HRT and international delivery.
Here is how this works in practice. We deliver foley recording for shoots finishing in Croatia, performing footsteps, cloth movement, props, and specific-action effects to picture so each on-screen movement carries a believable, synchronised sound. Our team books foley stages in Zagreb with different surface pits and a deep prop inventory, working with skilled foley artists and recordists who perform to the cut in real time. We record clean, isolated tracks — feet, moves, and details on separate stems. Labelled and ordered for the re-recording mixer, with alternate passes preserved.
Here is the short of it. Foley fills the gaps that production sound and library effects cannot cover, replacing unusable location audio and giving the mix the tactile detail that sells a scene. We match performances to the perspective and energy of each shot. Prepare deliverables to the broadcast loudness and tech specs the final master needs. Whether the project is a feature, a broadcast drama, or a documentary, the foley package integrates cleanly into the surround or stereo mix.
Here is the breakdown. Foley skill in Croatia rests on a post sector that grown with global service shoots. The edit and sound infrastructure developed through high-profile shoots — 'Game of Thrones' across Dubrovnik and Split, 'Robin Hood' in Dubrovnik, 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' on Vis — widened Zagreb's stage and recording capacity, while HRT sustains steady foley work for domestic drama and documentary. The historic studio Jadran Film, founded in Zagreb in 1946, anchors a long Croatian production custom that built craft depth across the sound disciplines.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. As an EBU member, Croatia applies EBU R128 loudness and EBU tech specs, keeping foley-inclusive mixes compatible with European broadcast delivery. We advise on the 25 percent 'Filming in Croatia' rebates administered by HAVC. This can apply to qualifying post-prod spend. Make sure the foley package meets the tech specs of its broadcast, theatrical, or streaming destination.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is foley necessary when you have production sound?
Here is the breakdown. Production sound primarily captures dialogue. Foley adds the key human sounds - footsteps, clothing, object handling - that make scenes feel real and complete. These sounds are often missing or inadequate in production recordings due to microphone placement focused on dialogue rather than movement.
What surfaces and materials can you record?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Our foley stages have extensive surface libraries covering concrete, wood, gravel, grass, sand, carpet, tile, and specialized surfaces. We also keep full collections of shoes, clothing, and props. If your project needs specific materials, we can source or create custom surfaces to match.
How do foley artists match character movements?
Here is how the picture comes together. Our foley artists study character movements, personalities, and physicality to create appropriate sounds. They match walking rhythms, weight distribution, and emotional states. A heavy villain walks in new ways than a nimble hero. Our artists capture these nuances in their performances.
Can foley be recorded remotely?
Here is what we have to work with. While we prefer in-house recording for quality control, we can conduct remote-supervised sessions where you give direction via video link. We'll share reference recordings and works-in-progress across the process to make sure the foley meets your creative vision.
