Everyday action sounds are recreated in a studio and synced to the picture, adding texture and realism to movement.

Compare the synced screen footsteps and studio gravel recording with silence.

Often confused with

• Mickey Mousing: The music itself hits every movement
• Ambience: The background sound of a whole place, not tied to an action
