John Simpson - Award winning Foley Artist - Danny Deckchair, King Kong, The World's Fastest Indian, Australia, Mary and Max, The Hobbit films, The Lego Movie, The Water Diviner, and Mad Max: Fury Road

John started recording and performing Foley back in 1985 working for the South Australian Film Corporation. He went freelance as a Foley artist in 1987, starting his own company in 1997, FeetnFrames.

The FeetnFrames studio is set in remote rural South Australia. The remoteness gives them a great advantage as his team can easily record outside when required. With great recording locations nearby, they are able to do location foley when the film requires it and sounds that cannot be created with the same quality in the studio.

John's earlier projects include Foley walker work on Jane Campion's The\xa0Portrait of a Lady\xa0and Peter Weir's The Truman Show. Other Foley artist work included: Oscar and Lucinda, Babe: Pig and the City, Lantana, and Danny Deckchair.

John's diverse mix of projects for FeetnFrames\xa0have included: King Kong, The World's Fastest Indian, December Boys, Australia, Mary and Max, The Lovely Bones, The Hobbit films, The Sapphires, and 100 Bloody Acres.

More recent Foley projects for John's team include: Chef, The Lego Movie, The Babadook, The Water Diviner, Mad Max: Fury Road, and the upcoming film, Regression.
