The Art of Foley

The Art of Foley Synopsis

Commissioned by Channel 4 for its Comedy Blaps season, The Art of Foley launched online in January 2015. A comedy series about two Foley artists, both called Roger, who haven’t had a hit in years. Alongside their studio engineer Jeremy, Roger M’s wife Pippa and their only fan Jacob, they try to rekindle their career.

Over the course of the three short episodes, we see Roger and Roger head to the studio to record effects for a remastered horror movie, try and capture the sound of a depressed crow, and in the final episode, Roger H goes on a date, leaving Roger M at home with Pippa.
