In this third edition of The Foley Grail, I am humbled by the many professionals who have contributed their insights and experiences to this endeavor. As someone who now teaches and writes about film sound, I could not be useful in the classroom, nor be able to access the wisdom of so many wonderful film industry professionals, were they not generous with their time and graciously supportive of my mission to document film sound in general and Foley more specifically. There are some common misconceptions about those who work in film: that they are pretentious, entitled, or removed from the world most others inhabit. I have not found that to be true for most of my colleagues. They are hard-working people who realize how fortunate they are to work in an industry that makes art and to be able to raise families in a privileged environment. However, they also are like so many working professionals: they get up early, drive to work, make deadlines, coordinate with others, get critiqued by their supervisors, worry about their next paycheck, help their children with their homework, and are happy to watch a ball game in the evening or on the weekend.
I wish to thank, yet again, David Stone, who teaches sound design at Savannah College of Art and Design, who for 20 years was my husband and who is a great dad to our son, Nathaniel. His illustrations for The Foley Grail have added humor and a light-hearted playfulness that I treasure. Dave began as an animator and moved into film sound, where he was a valuable addition to both television and feature films. He won the Academy Award for Best Sound Effects for his supervision of Bram Stokers Dracula (1992), along with Tom McCarthy, Jr.
I want to express my appreciation for guidance from Dr. Rick Altman, film scholar extraordinaire and a motivating force in my desire to pursue the goal of a PhD after decades in the film industry. I want to also thank Dr. Ted Friedman, who is an inspirational thinker and tremendous teacher at Georgia State University in Atlanta. So, too, must I thank Dr. Jack Boozer, who taught screenwriting at Georgia State and, along with being my dissertation advisor, introduced me to the magic of adaptation in film. Additionally, I wish to thank Dr. Alisa Perren, who opened up the world of media industries and production studies, which allowed me to better understand where I fit in the scholarly world of film studies.
