Terminator 2: Judgment day - foley

Here are some interesting facts about the making of Terminator 2.

For the transformation sounds Rydstrom was spraying Dust-Off into a flour and water mixture, with a condom-sealed mic stuck in the goo. The Dust-Off would make huge goopy bubbles.

The moment the bubble is forming, it has this sound that is similar to a cappucino maker or a milk steamer.

The slowly forming bubble has a metallic quality to it. It also had an evolving quality. The sound seemed to fit because it had beginning and an end

The sound of the crushed skull is actually a pistachio beeing crunched by a metal plate.

Foley Studio

Today I went to record the sound for my clip. I totally failed!! A had to spend 20£ on pizzas for the 3 guys I've got with me, as I couldn't figure out why the sound wasn't enterig in Audition even if I was doing everything okay.
So I wasted 4 hours of booking and 4-5 hours of other people's time! I felt so ashamed! I even emailed my tutor at 9 p.m and put URGENT in the title so maybe he will respond. Well, he did but still nothing worked.
And after 5 hours of nothing it turns out that I wasn't recordin in 16bit, I was using everything else instead of 16.

This is the look of the guys that would've killed me as I wasted their time for nothing.
