At Lucasfilm's Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, California, movie magic is more than CGI. The compound already had three Foley stages---buildings where sound effects are created---but in October they created a fourth, and it's a doozy: a facility built from the ground up not only to be acoustically perfect, but to have all the design features needed for Foley artist John Roesch and his team to practice their craft. Over a nearly 40-year career, Roesch has worked on everything from E.T. and Raiders of the Lost Ark to *Interstellar *and Frozen. He gave us a tour of the new Foley stage, and gave us some insight into one of the rarest—and coolest—jobs in show business.
