As I mentioned on the HNG facebook page<\/a>, I did an interview with Dean Minnerly, Foley Artist for Universal Studios. I also mentioned that he is my stepdad. Now, I should probably offer a quick explanation because I talk about my parents a lot and it can get a bit confusing because I have 6 of them. I know, right about now you’re thinking wtf? What is HNG smoking? I have been extremely fortunate to have a loving and supportive immediate and extended family that is chock full of some of the most fascinating people you will ever meet.\u00a0We’re pretty much the definition of a Modern Family.<\/p>\n

There’s my mom (Mama Jedi who’s on here a lot and is the reason I moved to San Diego<\/a>) and my dad (retired Navy, I talk about him a lot too, most recently in my review of Battleship<\/em>). They are my rocks and the greatest parents on earth. No one could ever replace them. They divorced when I was in middle school.<\/p>\n

I was pretty young when I started acquiring step-parents (and with them, 9 step-siblings). My dad married a wonderful woman, my stepmom Jeanne, who I adore. My mom was in a decade-long relationship with my stepdad Don (airbrush artist and direct descendant of Davy Crockett) who is amazing and insanely knowledgable about Scottish history. She later married my stepdad Randall who was one of the most wonderful men I’ve ever known. He passed away in October 2010 and was featured in my In Memoriam<\/a>\u00a0post that year. Then there’s Dean aka Popi. He’s been an incredibly close friend of the family since I was 6 years old. When my dad was gone on WestPacs he would step in as our father figure when we needed one. He has been to every play, graduation and major event in my life since I was very young so years ago I dubbed him “Popi.”<\/p>\n

These 6 wonderful people make up what I call my “parental units.” It’s more love and support than any one person deserves and I know exactly how lucky I am to have been brought up by this intelligent, funny, and eclectic group. I would not be who I am today were it not for them.<\/p>\n Apparently it really does take a village\n

Now that the explanation is out of the way, here’s a little background on Dean:<\/p>\n

Dean P. Minnerly of Sleepy Hollow, NY (yup, that one, from the stories and movies) descended from the first Dutch families that settled what was to become New York.\u00a0 Let\u2019s skip a few hundred years. \u00a0He enlisted in the United States Army in late 1969. \u00a0He excelled in training… went Airborne… recruited out of Airborne for Special Forces Qualification Course.\u00a0 Served in Viet Nam with 5th<\/sup> Special Forces (Airborne), with 5th<\/sup> Mike Force, II Corps and Recon Team Louisiana (details classified). \u00a0He came home and started teaching Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan with the Norris brothers (as in Chuck). \u00a0He was educated at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA in engineering and music. \u00a0He then returned to active duty with 7th<\/sup> Special Forces in El Salvador\/Honduras\/Nicaragua and was posted in Panama at the \u201cBanana Boat School\u201d also know as the Jungle Expert Course among other things.\u00a0 Look up \u201cGreen Monster\u201d and you\u2019ll understand. \u00a0He separated from the service and moved to California to continue teaching for Chuck Norris in \u201983. \u00a0His Studio City, CA school had many well known students and their families including the son and grandson of then president, Ronald Reagan.\u00a0 One of his many students in the film industry introduced him to Foley and that\u2019s how this facet of his life began.\u00a0 Another of his students was a senior story editor for Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> and got him involved with contributing story, writing and martial arts skills to the show. \u00a0He has been at Universal Studios for 18 years and loves it there.<\/p>\n

Originally we were just supposed to get together for dinner and I was going to head back next week to conduct this interview but one thing lead to another and we ended up at Universal driving around the backlot in a golf cart and crashing people’s private tours (they were on Dean’s stage afterall). The next thing I know I’m conducting an interview that I totally wasn’t prepared for. Note to self: write down some good questions and keep them in your wallet. Needless to say, this was very good practice and I’m \u00fcber\u00a0<\/em>glad that my first interview was with someone who won’t hold it against me.<\/p>\n

Here is the bulk of our interview:<\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

Since I wasn’t prepared, I only had my camera on me and had limited memory card space so I emailed him some additional questions a few days later:<\/p>\n

HNG: What is it about Foley that keeps you coming back for more?<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Few jobs allow such creativity and allow a person to share with such a wide and diverse audience.<\/p>\n

HNG: How did you meet the Foley family and become involved with the program at Paramount Ranch?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Cathi Foley Clark grew up at Universal with her uncle, Jack Foley, and has been his chronicler and biographer her whole life.\u00a0 She visited me on the stage and we began a friendship.\u00a0 I had been doing demos at Paramount Ranch for the National Park Service and she brought the whole family out to meet me.<\/p>\n One of Dean’s many Foley demonstrations at Paramount Ranch\n

HNG: You also worked for Larson Studios, how long did you work there and why did you move to Universal?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: I was with Rick Larson for about 6 years.\u00a0 I started taking night work on the original Law & Order<\/em> at Universal and eventually was offered more and more steady work.<\/p>\n

HNG: What is your favorite\u00a0TV\u00a0show and movie to have worked on?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Presently, my favorite TV show is Grimm<\/em>.\u00a0 I did the pilot and all the episodes since.\u00a0 It’s quite a challenge but great fun!\u00a0 The most recent movie I completed was Ted<\/em> for Seth MacFarlane starring Seth as the voice of Ted and Mark Wahlberg as Ted’s real life-buddy with Mila Kunis as Mark’s\u00a0girlfriend.<\/p>\n

\n

HNG: What is your favorite movie in general?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: I have so many but Saving Private Ryan<\/em> has to be close to the top.<\/p>\n

HNG: Favorite TV show?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Again, it’s hard to pin down a single show but I’d say shows on History\/Discovery\/Military\/NatGeo channels get the most of my viewing time.<\/p>\n

HNG: You are currently keyboardist for The McGrath Project. How did you meet Gary McGrath and how did that lead to becoming a band mate?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Gary needed someone to track on a new album and I was introduced to him by a mutual friend.\u00a0 The band included Tim Bogert, virtuoso bassist of Vanilla Fudge\/Cactus\/Beck,Bogert and Appice and Bryan Head, drummer of Foreigner and others.\u00a0 Gary is a two time Grammy winner.\u00a0 They liked my studio work and invited me to play live with them and I joined the band. A year and a half later, Ann-Marita Garsed, a solo singer-songwriter sang with us a few times and joined as well.\u00a0 Many people have been in the band at one time or another including many Hall of Fame players and Grammy winners.<\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

HNG: How did you meet Chuck Norris?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: I took Pai Lum Gung Fu (not Kung Fu)\u00a0\u00a0when I was around 13 and stayed with it.\u00a0 I’d just returned from VN and went to the CNKS in Virginia Beach where I was living.\u00a0 Chuck and his brother Aaron were there and I started over but with past experience, rose through the ranks quickly.\u00a0 I became an assistant instructor and after testing for black belt, a full instructor.\u00a0 Continued teaching for them when I moved to CA in ’83.<\/p>\n

\n

HNG: Who is your favorite Director you’ve worked with?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: I have three… Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard and Tom Hanks.\u00a0\u00a0 I haven’t worked with Clint Eastwood but I have great respect for him… F. F. Coppola as well.<\/p>\n

HNG: What kinds of awards have you won for Foley?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Emmys and Golden Reels.<\/p>\n

HNG: Who is your favorite superhero?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: I have to go back to my first… Superman.<\/p>\n

HNG: Your favorite Star Trek Captain?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Patrick Stewart for ST:TNG<\/em> as a single show but\u00a0William Shatner for Star Trek<\/em> overall.<\/p>\n

HNG: Your favorite band\/musician?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Too many but I always loved The Beatles.<\/p>\n

HNG: How many black belts do you have?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Depends on the style.\u00a0\u00a05 in Tang Soo Do, 3 in Hapkido, 2 in Hwa Rang Do, and 1 in Judo.<\/p>\n

HNG: How many ways can you kill a person using pressure points?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Pressure points can help healing, can cause great pain, can mediate blood flow but don’t by themselves kill through pressure.\u00a0 Impacts or impalement at these points may as many are arterial points or central nervous system (nerve bundles) points.<\/p>\n

HNG: How many times has your nose been broken due to martial arts?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Three or four.<\/p>\n

HNG: What was your first impression of Gene Roddenberry? Patrick Stewart? The rest of the cast?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Gene… a true visionary.\u00a0 Majel… the ultimate in support and a true comedic actress.\u00a0 Patrick… an unshakeable\u00a0Shakesperian mind and demeanor with a musical comedy heart.\u00a0 Jonathan\u00a0… powerful and funny.\u00a0\u00a0Michael… intense and the only real pilot of the bunch.\u00a0 LeVar… studied but impatient.\u00a0 Marina… meticulous.\u00a0\u00a0 Gates… careful and mothering.\u00a0\u00a0 Brent… a true performance chameleon worthy of Vaudeville.\u00a0 Wil… headstrong with an attitude but willing to learn.\u00a0 Colm… eager to excel.\u00a0 Denise… demure cowgirl.\u00a0 Whoopi… outrageous!<\/p>\n

HNG: Who was the most awesome TNG cast member? \u00a0The most awful?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: They were all great but everybody knew who was boss.\u00a0 Some of the guests could be difficult.<\/p>\n

HNG: You’ve taught self-defense courses before, what’s the single most important thing for someone to remember if they are being attacked?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Keep your head and be aware of everything and everyone around you.\u00a0\u00a0 Look for opportunity.\u00a0 Yeah, I know you said one… oh well.<\/p>\n

HNG: You were featured in a Tonight Show<\/em> sketch with Conan O’Brien. What was he like?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>DM: The tallest\u00a0Energizer Bunny on the planet with a very edgy side and sense of humor.<\/p>\n

* * * * *<\/p>\n

I thought it would be fun to let you guys ask him some questions as well since I know from experience that y’all ask some GREAT questions. Hopefully I collected them all, I apologize if I missed any!<\/p>\n

Jake R:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>What’s a Foley Artist?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: A performer of sound.\u00a0 We recreate live sound EFX to picture and sync them to the event portrayed.\u00a0 The effect may be what you see, more than what you see or different depending on the needs of the client or project. It is named after creator Jack Foley.<\/p>\n Jack Foley perfecting the art\n

David F: <\/strong>How do you get to be a Foley Artist?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Apprenticeship.\u00a0 You must find another artist(s) who will take you on and begin to train you.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have the base skills already in you, you won\u2019t make it.\u00a0 You need precise hearing, athletic skills and timing, the ability to anticipate movement and a working knowledge of the gear used.\u00a0 Most of us have a background in music, athletics or dance and audio engineering.<\/p>\n

Kevin C:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>How does one get a job as a Foley Artist (other than being awesome)? Do you just have to be in the know with people in Hollywood?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: It doesn\u2019t hurt to be connected but your skill as an artist and ability to work with demanding clients at a demanding pace is what keeps you working.<\/p>\n

Stevey M:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>What is the most fun noise to make?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Depends on who\u2019s listening.\u00a0 If we can make people cringe at the sound, make them laugh or make them sick… we\u2019re happy.<\/p>\n

Craig S:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Is it true that the sound of love is a boot stuck in mud, only wetter?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Trade secret but if you are familiar with that sound you may not need the answer.<\/p>\n

Paul M:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Mick Foley!? \ud83d\ude00\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: No… Jack Foley.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think Jack ever wrestled.<\/p>\n

Robert N:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Axel Foley?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Only in Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n

Aaron A: For your “ask a foley artist” interview…. if you want to ask him, what’s the most fun he’s had on a project, or movie or whatever. God I wish I knew a Foley Artist. It just seems like such a cool job to have on a movie or whatever. So random and different.\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>I’m just ever so slightly jealous you know one.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Know one?\u00a0 She has BEEN one.\u00a0 She lived with me after SFSU and apprenticed at Universal.\u00a0 She has contributed to many projects I worked on.<\/p>\n

Andy L:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>What sound that he has generated was the most different from what the sound was supposed to portray?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Depends on the client.\u00a0 If the real sound is insufficient or the client wants an entirely different sound, we build it.\u00a0 If it\u2019s sci-fi or fantasy and the visual was newly created a sound will need to be created as well.<\/p>\n

Larry L:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>How do you get the best recordings of your sounds? What equipment\/techniques?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Our own skills and abilities and each of us is different.\u00a0 Different mics and mic-pre\u2019s… absorption and reflective surfaces to create ambience, depth and size.\u00a0 We\u2019ll use three mics at once… two directional and one elsewhere in the stage to cross-fade and develop the perspective necessary.\u00a0 Our primary mics are Neumann KMR-81\u2019s with other Neumanns, Sennheisers, AKGs, etc. in the mix.\u00a0 Our mic-pre\u2019s are GMLs, Focusrites, Avalons, etc.\u00a0 We record to ProTools and have several sets of near field monitors to choose from with our largest being JBL\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Lisa C:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>What was the most complex sound he ever created and of what was it composed?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Don\u2019t think I can pick just one.\u00a0 We do a lot of layering and sweetening.\u00a0 The effect may only last for a few seconds but we many be out a dozen tracks creating all the different sonic facets that alone may be nothing but together make the event live.<\/p>\n

Shannon H:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Why do car tires sequel on dirt roads in the movies?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: People have preconceptions of what things SHOULD sound like regardless of reality.\u00a0 That group of people includes very well known leaders in our industry.\u00a0 Even if it\u2019s wrong we will do what\u2019s expected but we will also give alternate tracks of what we think would better serve the event.\u00a0 That way, on the dub (re-recording\/final mix) stage the choices are available.<\/p>\n

Bruce P:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>What was the most unusual method you’ve used to create the most common sound?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: A recent one comes to mind..\u00a0 I did a documentary called The Movement<\/em> about paraplegics, blind and otherwise disabled people learning or relearning to downhill ski.\u00a0 One of the effects I created for the clatter of skis on a fast run involved my crushing ice and shaping it into a one by two foot mound… mic\u2019ing it close and overhead and using an empty plastic mustard squeeze bottle to create the clatter, moving toward the mic capsule as the skis closed on the camera and off-angle as the skis moved away.<\/p>\n

Lair of the Nerd:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>In your opinion, what’s the weirdest thing you’ve used to make a noise, and what noise was it.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: There are a few.\u00a0 Here are two:\u00a0 In slasher flicks we rip lots of guts out.\u00a0 Take a large watermelon, cut one end off, violently shove your hand in it and twist as you pull it out.\u00a0 The suction and texture of the melon flesh combined with all the wet works great… it\u2019s absolutely disgusting.\u00a0 I mentioned snow.\u00a0 Snow has many textures and sounds.\u00a0 Squeaky powder is very distinctive.\u00a0 Garden supply stores have Perlite, often used in potted plants.\u00a0 Cornstarch is also used.\u00a0 Pour it into a pillowcase and start walking on it to grind it down.\u00a0 The squeaks will be there and you won\u2019t freeze your nerd off in the process.<\/p>\n

AK G:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Who decides what a fictional sound should be? The director? A writer? The foley artist?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: \u2018D\u2019… All of the above.\u00a0 In spotting sessions, when everybody sits around reviewing the reels, these things are discussed and the creative people hash out what best serves the scene.\u00a0 When agreed upon, we have our direction and we go make it happen.<\/p>\n

Todd F:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>How much celery do you waste on a daily basis?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Celery is part of only one food group we abuse regularly.\u00a0 No fruit, veggie or uncooked critter is safe on a Foley stage.<\/p>\n

Salem P:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>What’s the foley effect you’re most proud of that you thought up?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Whichever one the client wasn\u2019t expecting that gave him\/her more than he could have imagined… and that only lasts until I come up with the next one.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 H:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>How awesome do you have to be to be HNG’s stepfather?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: I love her… she loves me.\u00a0 Nothing else matters.<\/p>\n One of my high school senior portraits\n

Dan G:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Do studios have massive Foley libraries that you get to pull from as needed or do they prefer you always start from scratch (keeping it fresh and each movie slightly different)?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: There are no Foley libraries.\u00a0 There are libraries we create for EFX editors for them to draw from but we start fresh every time.\u00a0 It is the inconsistency and imperfection of human and animal movement that make it real.\u00a0 No two of anything are every exactly alike as are our performances.\u00a0 Each time we create a sound it will have some variation.\u00a0 Think of each or our creations as a snowflake.<\/p>\n

Scott D:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Universal as in Orlando?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Nope… Universal Studios Hollywood.\u00a0 There is a Universal in Orlando but this is home, first opened in 1913.<\/p>\n

Jay A:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>He didn’t know Keillor’s effects guy, did he?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: If you refer to Garrison Keillor\u2019s radio shows, then no.\u00a0 What they do and what we do is quite different.\u00a0 They add simple sound components to add color to those programs.\u00a0 We develop a complete sound package integral to the final product you see and hear in theaters and on TV.<\/p>\n

John G:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Does he realize he’s standing next to “HNG”? \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: I do occasionally notice that.<\/p>\n

Marlon B:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u200e<\/strong>Can I marry your step-daughter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: I think some would have a problem with that but thanks for asking.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 H:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Do movie or TV studios force Foley artists to generate a wet-sucking sound for scenes involving the removal of objects from a body part? It seems like that sound is inserted whenever the hero\/coroner removes an object from a dead body part…\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: It does come up.\u00a0 I refer you to my responses to Shannon H. and Lair of the Nerd.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9<\/strong> H: Serious question: What’s the weirdest sound effect you were asked to create that has absolutely no equivalent in the “real” world?<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: I guess the sound of a maggot crawling on a sweater from 15 feet away.\u00a0 As you may guess it was a head-scratcher.\u00a0 Since no sound exists in that instance, there\u2019s no reference point and how do you make it distinct enough to get it played?\u00a0 There are others but that one was a challenge.<\/p>\n

Dee O:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>What’s the most memorable and or unique sound you were asked to make\/record?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: This is what is known as an \u201cimponderable.\u201d\u00a0 Each had a quality of it\u2019s own.\u00a0 Memorable would have me recall the event or circumstance and people involved more than the sound(s) itself.<\/p>\n

Kyle S: Why was there was no Chuck Norris in the Next Generation. That would have been epic……<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: Several characters exhibited talents and abilities similar to those of Chuck’s.\u00a0 At the time, Chuck was so well known he would never be accepted as another character.\u00a0 Think about it… Chuck has, regardless of the portrayal, always played himself.\u00a0 His show, Walker, Texas Ranger<\/em>, also competed with TNG for audience.<\/p>\n

Miki K:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>What do you think is your most creative sound?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

DM: The one I haven\u2019t yet thought of.\u00a0 You are always creating and each is a new challenge.<\/p>\n
