Foley as
Storytelling

Foley is often perceived as an invisible phase of post-production — technical, separate, delegable. In reality, it is one of the most powerful tools for giving body, weight and intention to images. Every step, fabric, object, gesture or contact can modify the perception of a character, the tension of a scene, the physicality of an environment.

This masterclass is designed for directors, filmmakers, animators, game designers and sound designers who want to understand how Foley works as a narrative tool — not as post-production, but as a creative decision that begins in the development phase.

No specific technical experience required: every hour of this masterclass is designed to expand your sonic vocabulary and raise the perceptual quality of your work — whether for cinema, animation or video games.

An immersion in Bastian Gerner's method — 15 years of practice between Bavaria Film Studios, Ubisoft and Warner Bros. — that opens the Foley process from the inside: how to work on a character, a creature, a stylised environment, an interactive world.

Two days in residency in northern Sardinia, in Gallura, in a regenerative setting. A place where sound gives shape to stories.

Meals, accommodation and transfer to and from the airport/port to the residency are included.
