ah ah ah, he's an unknown international superstar. the man behind the sounds and builds, everybody knows. okay, so the dragon is about to climb up the wall and bust through into a grin. got spank. so one of the 1st things that we would have done would be the large sam to fax, all the metal plate thing that he busts through with some pieces of glass metal plate. should we do a tank englishman? pete burgess is one of the world's leading foley artists. feats created sounds for

film such as sherlock holmes, james bond and slum dog millionaire. and if you remember hearing harry potter escaping through a glass roof on the back of a dragon. you're already familiar with the magic pete virtuous performs in his studio. barbara, working in the industry for 35 years, a worked on 100 even though the 1st harry potter i did is 20 years ago. it's phil hugely popular. and so most people recognize me for the high repulsive home i was flying up into the distance pete himself has also taken off in search of some calm after leading a hectic london life. tired of having to sink his studio hours to the subway time table. he decided to relocate to the mecklenburg countryside in northeastern germany. he and collaborator upon cisco toiler, have moved to a farm near her old home that since become a permanent construction site. yeah,

absolute does. yeah, totally. it's a big project. so it's going to take a while and i'm down because of to push to cover, we do it by bit. we've already done and not being a part of you for that i am from the agatha. when we started the construction 3 years ago, price was just an empty, stable home live of shy the wider hello. hello on and how may i direct began tearing down the walls here and had the roof fixed up in this land even if it sounds like a long time. if you something is upgraded every day, unfortunately into october noise fence then your window here will that noise and paint work. this is a, this is i want to stage d hm. we had it built exclusively to make recordings with water oh, batter of nam smile. and us, man, you can recreate the sounds of an open c for example, without it sounding out officials and my think as well. that's why we put up these boards which work very well. good folks, indian that mike van, they,

mike will afloat, also have this blue color. lavish treasure order, flash, the plan, everything here will be painted in this color super as it began. so grapes ice, so the whole lower part will be blue. that's nice. good. they had to dig 3 meters deep for the pool, making the boley farm. europe's 1st recording studio with a water stage of this size the how many of us we have some different levels here. the 1st, the uncles, the 2nd to here for takes in knee, deep water, the knob to the head. yeah. and the last one would be for when you're swimming, then you have to water and up to here it is. vasa, go. the opposite wall will have a big screen guns on the line one, when the and then we can perform the pieces quite comfortably in deep water without any chance a doubt, crating the acoustics. an open c requires and often is mere. the 1st

recordings are set to begin in 4 weeks, but the local construction team is facing even more challenges up from the last that they've discovered that a transformer in francisco studio creates interference in the background. lou and let's have a look. so if you feel how many did you install here, put deep on us both empathy and let him, i'm from every lighting tube has this small blue box. yes, this is the live and those are old transformers. elizabeth and that means we'll have to listen to each one school reform. yes, mother honda. this is the i assume that's it really feels like it's coming from the ceiling. this is from your kids, the transformers. i'm almost certain super elizabeth thought until i will have to remove anything with a transform ahmed in all the computers with fans are already in the next room. so there's space for some extra cables in latin windows. yeah, that's any have we can't have any sound in the background. no matter how quiet

because we record even quieter. sammons seem like somebody running my fingers through the hand and it's a very subtle sound, but we have to record that too. so it's really important that the studio is extremely quiet. extreme lies us. luckily, there are creative solutions and kind of sta, a small roof and some curtains that we can adjust. seen current if we doing a scene in the park or in a field, for example, we close all the curtains and seen the al flooring a compact. so there is a wide variety of flooring because recreating footsteps is a big part of any foley artists work. i'm so glad to learn this is like a smooth a footpath. it's a bit rougher and sounds like this. oh, yeah, my grandson is my pride and joy. cobblestone is fish high, play a movies. i'm happy sound film set in old times. hyde park footsteps in hyde park. reason up, tyler here. the meadow section. ready organization,

which we rearranged for every record and then have we had us and these are the different types of gravel. i know kind of 19 small pebbles and big pebbles. you ordinary, i sometimes go up here to at 1st we have the stairs here to make this hollow staircase sound. yeah, that's it. and hey, we have a hollow oak floor. perfect. the old berlin stores at me it's loud supply of it's really nice when you get such a special sound very different from all underwood. i'm a phenomenon hood burden as wont to recreate that. we put a, filling underneath the floor boards here. some sounds required extra work when most people yet unborn he polish these tiles all the time, mommy and in about half a year they should sound like a hospital flaw is on kong. francisca grew up and spare green but lived in london for many years. now she's back in mecklenburg with an international team consisting of a scotsman, a spaniard and an englishman. okay. today they're recording for

sounds in summer math. you need to somehow walk as low as possible. yeah. could you want to talk with you about what you thought the caveman for you know those? no, oh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. 5 ah ah ah ah, holy artists are a rare sight in the wild, but bringing a whole forest into the studio would be

a bit too extreme. and how do outdoor recordings compare to the studio? i english no, no 9 seats, white dead friend. i will. we still do the main work in the studio ventilation, but especially with forest recordings on us back. it sounds better when you couldn't make something reeling of us a same thing with recordings in the snow. we always do some takes in real snow and we have some pre recorded takes from my god and that one's gotten oh, ice skating is another example. and and when viewed as ice gay, do you have to skate to the image? but if you come at one or 2, why sounds from a live recording of what's even better, ma'am? i in my rooms who denzil possession, 2 weeks later and the pool is already filling with water. but the wrong kind of good and who it's filling up quickly because her container is small

to know this will be loud in the morning is there fed the ground here is very oily with lays of groundwater food to keep the water out. we're making this as dry as possible. the thing is with a new coat of paint will waterproof it. and then water conceit through from the outside is tabatha does, as was often always in the mo bushland gum. francisco brother is working on a special assignment, a creek box that can make squeaking sounds like an old door. as most mission shewn, it doesn't have to look fancy with just my get the job done. ah, that was so loud. finish out a shot. my sister was startled,

but i wasn't because my hearing aid reacted quickly, had gone smoothly. i could. her brother is hard of hearing, but for francisca hearing every sound is vital. my spot is missing. i used to be disappointed because we couldn't live together. i'm certain things, yes was, am i? but now i think it's great anguish also because we get to do what he enjoys owned is that the middle part of the team dennison is just the way it is besides. and it's never been any difference because he's been hard of hearing since birth. everybody has to find their own way. ah. but that happens to lease can't turn. it has to stay in place. i do wish i was also surprised when my sister asked me to build the alley,

stuff of mileage with circus zacky started by one. pretty sure. this is the 1st time i can hear what i've built, but it's up to town harbor. not bad initially, but it's like a toy or something like being a cool. nice one. but will the pros agree? oh, cool. yeah. vanka. yeah. that yeah. nice. did you try it? kristen? just a habit i did. i can hear the mid range. sounds good. yeah, come on, i says he can adjust it by tightening this lovely. lovely very nice. oh, well, put the box on top. it does have it will be louder. and so bit of the resonance of the word a little just improve and improve and improve. and as these ropes get older and

tighter, they'll be squeaky and squeeze her yet. it's fantastic. yeah. okay. let temporary pool has to be drained because next door pete studio is being remodeled. when does is it? and that's a really fitly job it. so the, with the gunslinger, the new studio will contain this big room name, the one next door. and that wall is also coming down aldrin so that the studio will be at least 20 meters long, long of the invite. so if i'm, if you imagine i'm making a sign to fight for a car crash, for example, i want to be able to pick up a car door iron, throw it, and really make some noise and smash things up. well, in a smaller room i could cause damage. so here in this big room, i can be able to just create much bigger,

more dynamics with me. hello, welcome to my video. perfect, going with . all right, let's make the most space. now, pete, can forget about getting any more work done in his studio today. oh no, i thank you, booked back. oh, uh huh. i think we're all right. working and living together as a group had always been francisco's dream. mission is, isn't the reason it's always been important to have a place where everyone feels comfortable, an international welcoming place where everyone can put that unique talents to use

this in unfelt. good about their work. the talent as it is here. i didn't drop my income, and when you can also say truth, i'd like to go away for a month. it's much that's also possible here. it's good. here, there are fewer constraints than in a normal workplace. it's by so much more about people liking every minute of the time they spend a minute. and though she might want to hang out a bit longer, the night ship awaits the deadline for a new episode of a german crime show is quickly approaching. and the construction noise during the day means night time is the only quiet time it's. i got a i've always that's good. okay. great. bear with

me, it takes them 5 nights to record and mix all the sounds for an hour and a half of film below and as all alone and pretty loud. i, i don't know. do you want to test? i think it's on it's going to be now into the it's a step on the mirror just, you know, device. well, what's happening now? with the frequency domain, i think it needs more shots image with

before becoming a fully artist for film, francisco worked as a musician and sound engineer said to work with the kids. i think that sounds like the stream right. or the base fits suzanne has and it works well together. maybe the crunching sound is a bit you loud flash number since loud ever. you feel at it that much? yes. later. the next morning, pete's the 1st person in the kitchen. as usual. first thing i have to do though, i have a cup of tea, little bit of milk, sugar, classic british cup of tea, and occasionally an english breakfast, which is what i'm doing today for everybody. hello, i do love sausages, but i have a little complaint in the u. k. the meat in sausages haven't been processed,

so it's not smooth. and here if every sausage is, is smooth and back for me a little bit with but these ones with some hub fin them. i really liked kaiser kaiser krakow, or sausage with cheese in is my favorite the smell of a full english breakfast, lures the others in good morning coffee on quick ha. the kitchen, not only functions as the farms main meeting place, but also as a trophy room for a collection of emmy statues and sometimes even an ad hoc studio way to find my right.

it sounds like rain falling on a roof or rain, a track of rain you could use for crying bacon. when you hit a melon it sounds like somebody having my head. but yeah, you know, all fruit invades have a lovely kind of lamb. fleshy texture tomatoes are great for doing little kind of explosive, juicy, noisy, somebody read, punched in the note, or something like that. so yeah. breakfast, i mean, breakfast could easily be a fairly fashion in it fell joke. you're cheating. lemmy. pete doesn't have time to play very long with the dogs this morning. francisco wants to visit a 2nd hand market. looking at a book. thank you. hello,

they just make this same weird sound. it's slightly disturbing if you see a running horse in a film constantly making the same sound corner from him and puts a bit off. but if he hold it tight in the halls and then you get different sounds more like a horse. the vauxhall from 9 little beeswax would make it sound. let's try talking with kings. okay. oh yeah. i like it was coming from a good. it's always good to have something like this in reserve, and this is actually a really good wouldn't container being a hoarder is just part of the job. anything could come in handy some day. but today they find a real treasure. some lovely old school bakelite switches really difficult to recreate that noise with modern technology, but that's fantastic. thumb kind of mechanical bring the time
