Fight

Fight Scene Foley for Film and Games

The raw material for fight scenes in action films and games: fighting whooshes for swings and misses, slaps, bone cracks for heavy hits, knife clashes, knife pulls and stabs, and a sword draw. Add clothing movement for grabs and throws, and blade sounds when weapons come out.

Files for a fight mix

WAV: the source for a film mix or a game build. Fight hits get compressed hard and stacked several layers deep, and uncompressed files hold up to that.
MP3: for animatics, previs and blocking out choreography against a rough cut.

How to sound design a fight scene

Build each big hit from layers: a whoosh, a slap or body hit, and a bone crack only for the blows meant to hurt.
Rotate through the numbered Fighting Woosh takes, so a flurry of punches doesn't sound like one swing on repeat.
Scale hits to the shot size: smaller and tighter in a wide shot, bigger and closer in a close-up.
For hits that slam into walls or floors, add action VFX like dust and debris.
