dark side of the moon - wizard of oz sync

tuxy

just something i found a while ago but its quiet interesting

there was a dvd with the album set as the sound track and i just found a rip of it online
the two go together very well but i think its all just a coincidence

This should be in music or movies I guess. I've heard this one before but I thinks its 99% urban myth. If there is any corallation its just chance I'd say (that and the fact you can read almost anything into anything if prompted by someone else!).

id love to see this in action. however if what has been said is true its too much of a conicidence

DrunkLeprachaun

It's true, I've seen about 15 minutes of it, not got around to watching the rest. It's pretty damn cool, especialy the sync with the bells at the start of Time. Check it out if you can.

It works for 2001 a Space Odyssey and Pink Floyd - Echoes also

I tried the Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon, it synced in certain places
but I guess if you look hard enough you will see some linkage.
Anyway the syncs may be related to what had been consumed beforehand!

Watched it today and it's quite weird, well some parts of it.

The bells being one of them.
I'd say they done it on purpose.

DrunkLeprachaun

I don't think that they could've done it on purpose. Back in '72 when Dark Side of the Moon was being made, there was pretty much no decent way of watching films privately, cheap VCRs and the like hadn't been brought into the market, so it probably wouldn't have been possible for Floyd to do it intentionaly. Unless they bought a cinema or something, which I suppose is possible.

Come on...they've been reheating this **** for years and its getting really old
now. I love Pink Floyd but....

Since the Roger left the band we've seen the following rehashes released:
Delicate Sound of Thunder (and video)
Shine On boxset
Pulse (and video)
Wall Live 1980-1981
Syd Barret boxset (out of print?)
Roger Waters - Wall Live in Berlin 1990
Roger Waters - In the Flesh
Echoes - the Best of Pink Floyd

Now to be fair, some of these releases have had some great moments. The
Delicate Sound of Thunder's versions of Comfortably Numb and One of These Days
crushes all earlier and later versions. The Wall 1980-1981 gave us a killer
versions of Another Brick Part 1, What Shall We Do Now, Another Brick Part 3,
and that creepy Wall theme-medly the Last Few Bricks. The Wall Live in Berlin
was ....well it was for charity, right? Anyway you get my drift. How many
times do we need to repurchase the same songs over and over again?

I had it, and i watched it twice, and although there were moments where it synced, and you can go cool, it only happened a couple of times. It basically doesnt sync and you may as well throw on purple haze and go woah, look she singing the guitar.

on another note ever watch the sound of music to Decides - Serpents Of The Light, absolute class, At least I think it was Serpents Of The Light although it might have been legion. Either way its great for a laugh

I've seen it, I think the only reason I noticed parts apparently synching was because I was looking for them. Had I just seen it without been told anything about it I'd say I wouldn't have noticed a thing.

You used to be able to rent films on film, and project them fairly simply if you had the gear. It wasn't that unusual and at that stage the Pink Floyd had plenty of funds behind them. So if they did want to get a copy of the film it would have been no problem at all.

I think it's just coincidence myself but it's still kind of cool. You have to remember that the european version of the wizard of oz had bits cut out of it and this throws it off. A friend of mine got the dvd re release from the states and the new 5.1 dark side and put them together on DVD. Works well but I dont think they intended it

quarryman

this is weird. i got a book last week called "coincidences" or something. basically its full of stories of well.....coincidences. it actually isn't the may west and i've been struggling through it (cus i'm a fairly sceptical person).
anyway just yesterday i was on a section and sure enough there was the story about pink floyd and oz. log onto boards and here it is. i'm not the least bit superstitious but just found that a little freaky

*eyes the book beside me with suspicous eyes*

*looks back to computer**

*looks back again quickly - thought it had moved.........*

Brerrabbit

A friend and I tried thsi a few months ago, we found that there wasn't much to the Oz- Dark side of the moon one but the last 20 or so minutes of 2001 matched pretty well with echoes. Give it a try.

Yeah since Roger Waters left there hasn;t really been anything fresh by the Floyd, (Some of Waters' solo stuff is excellent though)

You can read the REAL story on my website.

Pigman II

Forget Wizard of Oz!

For a really nifty sync play Van Halens 'Jump' against the Speeder sequence from Return of the Jedi. Start the music at the point in the movie where Chewie sticks his head out from behind a tree (55m37s on the Special Edition PAL version I think?)

i recall that being in family guy. Peter said that to someone who does movie stuff.
