A Humorous, Insider’s Look At The Job Of A Sound Artist For Porn Films

[Click here to view the video in this article]







Grant Meyers is a foley artist for the erotica film industry—he is in-charge of the non-digitized sounds in porn.



He is also a fictional character, played by Will Stephen, in a spoof video introducing viewers to the behind-the-scenes sound production of porn movies.



While tongue-in-cheek, the under four-minute-long short titled ‘Labor of Love’ inspires people to do their best in their jobs.



Meyers said, “You know, a lot of people asked me, ‘You do erotic films, why are you working so hard to get a recording of a plastic bag?’”



And his answer can best be encapsulated by his last lines in the video, “How many people do you meet who get to say that they can honestly get up in the morning and do what they love? Me.”

Whimisical Photographs Of Children Taking Naps Outdoors

French photographer Alice Lemarin imagines how children could turn quaint urban spaces into lovely dreamscapes in her project, ‘Sleeping’.



In her project, various children were pictured in deep sleep with their heads propped against a pillow in urban spaces. Her photos were all treated in soft hues, adding on to the theme of childhood dreams and innocence.



Her subtle styling touches make her photos a real visual treat—she often matched the children’s outfits and pillows with their surroundings, making it seem as if the urban spaces they were pictured at intertwined with their dreams.
