BAFTA and Emmy nominated sound team, creating award winning Foley for Film and Television.

After graduating from Bradford University in 1996 with a BSc Hons degree, Barnaby worked at Videosonics in central London from 1997 where he learned every aspect of sound post production. Barnaby was a dubbing assistant, ADR recordist/editor, dialogue editor, FX tracklayer and finally found foley was where his real passion lay.

Barnaby was initially a foley engineer and editor, but he added to this by becoming a performer of his own foley. Barnaby has now been a foley artist for over 15 years and combines expert performing skills with technical and engineering expertise, which puts him in a unique position in the industry. For all Feet First’s projects Barnaby will perform and supervise the foley, before undertaking the editing. This clear workflow has huge advantages for time efficiency and for achieving exactly the sound Barnaby envisages for each scene.

Barnaby has worked on a large number of major television and film productions, including Downton Abbey; This is England 88; Jane Eyre; Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy; Pan; Suffragette ; The Night Manager and many more. He received an Emmy Nomination for his work on The Night Manager.

In recent years, Barnaby has added to his repertoire by taking part in media and theatrical events. Barnaby has appeared several times on BBC Radio 4’s The Film Programme to discuss aspects of foley recording and his latest foley projects; he has been involved in live foley talks and demonstrations before large audiences (The Sound of Story and The Story); and he has performed in theatre and opera, in The Hush at the National Theatre and The Crackle  at the Royal Opera House.

Live performance has given Barnaby’s foley artistry a different energy and insight into how to deliver sounds that an audience can understand and appreciate.

Keith graduated from Staffordshire University with a degree in Music Technology in 2007. He began his career in post production as a runner in Soho before progressing quickly to foley engineering at award-winning post house Hackenbacker in 2008. Keith successfully ran the foley studio for seven years and picked up two Primetime Emmy Nominations for his work on Downton Abbey and Any Human Heart.

Keith has been responsible for recording and supervising various projects including BBC’s Musketeers and Dickensian, and ITV’s Thunderbirds Are Go.

Keith has worked with the top UK Foley artists, across television, film and video games. His film credits include, We Need To Talk About Kevin, Les Miserables, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and most recently, Suffragette.

Keith’s obsession with trawling car boots and charity shops has filled the studios he’s worked in with an array of quirky and interesting sounding props, and he is always on the look out for additions to his ever-growing collection. As well as the technical aspects, Keith also enjoys the creative nature of foley, and, with a keen ear, relishes experimenting in order to create the perfect sound.

Rebecca graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2009 and spent the next 9 years working as an artist: exhibiting and teaching art throughout the UK and Europe.

In 2014 she bought her first sound recorder, began obsessively recording everything and making experimental sound pieces for her installations. Through this, she soon discovered foley, became hooked and eventually found herself shadowing Sue Harding at Twickenham Studios then accompanying her to do Live Foley for Yorkshire Silent Film Festival.

In 2018 she went to Belgium to do a postgraduate in Sound with EPAS. Once back she started working with Boom Post first as a runner, then later joined their foley team. There she worked on Peaky Blinders, The Crown, Call the Midwife, amongst others, as a foley mixer, editor and artist in training.

In 2022 she briefly went freelance as a foley editor working on The Banshees of Inisherin, for which she won a Golden Reel, and some smaller independent animation projects as artist and editor. In 2023 she joined the Feet First Sound team as Foley Assistant and hasn’t looked back. Now working as our second foley artist Rebecca channels her creativity into everything she does. Along with the rest of the team she received an Emmy nomination for her work on
