Once upon a time, in a land far away,
There were magical movies to watch every day,
With thrilling tales and adventures galore,
And characters we loved to explore.

But before the lights could dim and the film could start,
There were people who worked to do their part,
A foley artist with keys and a grip,
To make the sound effects so the film could grip.

The gaffer would light up the set,
So every scene was a perfect vignette,
And the gofer would fetch what they need,
To make sure everyone could succeed.

The filter made the colors bright,
So everything looked just right,
And the genre set the mood,
For the story to be pursued.

So next time you watch a magical show,
Remember the people who made it glow,
With keys, grip, and foley art,
And all the pieces that played their part.
