Although modern movie editors can use software to create and edit sounds, they still face challenges when it comes to certain sounds. That is why foley artists remain an important part of the film industry. They come up with many creative ways to use everyday objects to produce the sounds that we hear in films. For example, breaking a celery stick can create a sound that is similar to a bone breaking. One of the most common tasks for foley artists is creating the sound of footsteps. Because these sounds are difficult to capture during filming, foley artists typically have to recreate them for each character in a film.
儘管現代的電影剪輯師可以使用軟體來創建和編輯聲音，但在處理某些聲音時他們仍面臨挑戰。這就是為什麼擬音師仍然是電影產業中的重要一員。他們發想許多有創意的方法，利用日常物品來打造我們在電影中聽到的聲音。例如，折斷一根芹菜棒可以產生類似於骨頭斷裂的聲音。擬音師最常見的任務之一就是製作腳步聲。由於這些聲音在拍攝過程中很難收錄到，因此擬音師通常必須為電影中的每個角色重新創造腳步聲。
