1) What is the best way for a Foley artist to keep ahead of the rapidly evolving technology in the film industry?
2) For a Foley artist to remain relevant, they must be able to form connections with others in their field.
3) Currently, there is no Foley artist organization, and workers in the field are often left in the dark as to others' techniques. If they communicate, they will be able to formulate better sounds.
When a group comes together, if they do, they can help to amass a much larger sound database than they would otherwise create.
If Foley artists began working together, every bit of work that they do would increase in efficiency, allowing them to be faster than so called "Black Boxes."

5) I plan to study why groups/unions are not formed.

1) I will be continuing my work in assembling a wide range of sounds for a sound library, this time attempting to create all the sounds from a few short films I will decide at a later date.
2) Foley work takes up an enormous amount of time, due to setup, travel, and research.
3) This will help me, much in the same way that my original Independent Component helped me to find my first answer.
