the guys that did the matrix foley also did some amazing stuff, 46 mics for one car crash sound awesome stuff. but it is amazing how many sounds they got from those 46 channels of audio. time alignment is a bitch though. i did a show a while ago that needed a whip crack and all of the ones on sfx discs sounded like shit so i recorded some new ones with a stockman. i used eight mics and the time alignment wasn't huge but it was time consuming and getting the right mix was also time consuming, but i got it to sound massive. i did one show where i used 41 channels of fx for the opening sequence and approx 6 hours of music and fx, the show had 8 hours of material for the actors. won 4 awards for it. foley in a pet hate but it is part of my job so i do it as best i can.
