Foley Artist
As a kid did you like to bang pots and pans together until your mother screamed? This could be the job for you. Foley artists are responsible for creating and recording the "everyday" background sounds in movies (i.e. snow crunching under foot, doors squeaking open, a child sneezing). To try your hand, thump two watermelons together-- no seriously, try it. What does it sound like? Like someone just got socked in the nose! Now snap a crisp piece of celery in two... hear that bone breaking? Believe it or not, the sound of sliding doors in Star Trek was made from someone pulling a piece of paper from an envelope.
What You Get: Up to $80,000/year, or $400/day
