Does anyone know about the deal with Pink Floyd and the Wizard of Oz? I heard you can play Dark Side of the Moon with the movie and everything lines up pretty cool. I just don't know how to sync everything up.

What's the deal?

Snakebyt · 12-13-2003, 03:49 PM

i have a divx of that.. pretty weird, the music seems to go right along with what is going on in the movie

Homey_V · 12-13-2003, 05:33 PM

Synchronocity

A web page of other movies and songs that match up...
I think thats the right address...

Prophecy · 12-13-2003, 11:09 PM

I think your supposed to start the record right after you see the lion roar at the opening of the movie.

thingstodo · 12-14-2003, 07:11 AM

Thanks, Prophecy. That's what I was looking for. Homey.... I'm checking out that link next. This should be fun!

thingstodo · 12-14-2003, 07:13 AM

Homey.... that address wasn't the right one. I'd love to have the right one if yo happen to figure it out.

Thanks!

chingador · 12-14-2003, 07:47 AM

I've tried that a number of times. It's really eerie, especially if you're familiar with Dark Side of the Moon and know what to listen for. The cooincidences become less often, but greater magnitude the 2nd and 3rd (well, 2nd and a half) times through the album as well.

glytch · 12-14-2003, 08:30 AM

There was a laser light show at the planetarium near me that was doing this. It was very cool, too bad I only got to see a couple of clips from the show.

Sleepyjack · 12-15-2003, 09:42 PM

nice. I'll have to try this out sometime

Just have to get the wizrd of oz....

anywho, heres some more linkage: http://www.turnmeondeadman.net/DSotR/Intro.html

Homey_V · 12-16-2003, 07:59 AM

I found the right website this time around.

Synchronicity

Sho Nuff · 12-16-2003, 11:53 AM

Start it after the second lions roar for the exact sync.

KWSN · 12-16-2003, 01:09 PM

It works beautifully. I own a bootleg dvd that has the exact sync on, all the sound edited out of the movie. Fucking amazing.

thingstodo · 12-16-2003, 03:50 PM

Thanks for all the feedback.

Homey.... thanks for finding that link. It looks like it will be a fun site! And you, too, Sleepyjack. By the way, I recorded the movie from TBS recently. I think they must have purchased the right because they ran it several times so far reently. In the past it came around every year or so.

sherpahigh · 12-18-2003, 12:09 PM

I've seen it with dask side of the moon 2 or 3 times and it is kinda erie how a lot of it lines up. It does make a difference when you start the music though.

Pink Floyd denies that this was intended however. Still pretty cool to check out.

Steffi · 12-19-2003, 09:13 PM

I just watched this for the first time a few weeks ago and it freaked me out a little. It's almost too weird to be coincidental.

asudevil83 · 12-19-2003, 11:26 PM

i've never seen the two of those together, but i've heard that its pretty crazy.

one that i've tried though is Tool's Lateralus and the Nightmare Before Christmas. and thats pretty fucking crazy.

a crazy ass cd and a pretty crazy movie work really well together when you have a few friends all high.

monkeydriven · 12-26-2003, 09:23 AM

The Pink Floyd thing does work. It's amazing....not only the music ebb and flows with the goings on on screen, but the lyrics sort of say things that are happening. for example "balanced on the biggest wave" is spoken exactly when Dorothy is walking across the top of the fence"... "The lunatic is on the grass" is right when we see the scarecrow (or his real person character, I forget which). The bells go off in 'Time' exactly when we meet the wicked witch and the sounds in 'Money' happen in conjunction with the film going to color and them landing in Munchkinland....

Vales419 · 12-31-2003, 02:01 PM

It is really fucking cool, I highly recommend it. If you are a Floyd Fan, it is a must.

V.

Vanquish · 12-31-2003, 11:55 PM

I would like to know who actually figured this out. Like what was the guy/girl on when he/she decided to watch The Wizard of Oz and play some Pink Floyd at the EXACT right time.....hrmm

thingstodo · 01-01-2004, 10:01 AM

I can think back years ago to watching TV and listening to music at the same time, all because I was to lazy to turn the TV off. Not to date myself, but some of this time period was pre-remote! I watched the visual of many shows and movies with real music playing. Floyd was one of those I still listen to a lot with the TV on and volume down.

lions20 · 01-01-2004, 10:26 AM

I haven't tried it yet but I have posted a link that supposedly explains how it should work.

http://members.cox.net/stegokitty/dsotr_pages/dsotr.htm

thingstodo · 01-03-2004, 12:34 PM

Thanks. This is a pretty darn good link with great details.

burnhm · 01-03-2004, 10:21 PM

Junior and Senior year of high school, my Calc teacher had us watch this on Halloween, I had done it years earlier, as a study of math. Being that mathamagicians look for patterns in daily life and that sort of like he decided that it was apropriate. Or he just had good taste in music and wanted to listen to DSOTM all day.

Glory's Sun · 01-07-2004, 10:31 PM

seems like everytime I get high me and my friends do this..it's just that cool

jujueye · 01-09-2004, 09:33 AM

The most entertaining part of this is that every member of Pink Floyd denies the sync. They dismiss all the claims. But why would an artist reveal such a deep, dark secret? Its fascinating.

Download a small clip by searching at Google for "The Wizard of Pink". I can't seem to find it just now, but a short clip is out there.

jujueye · 01-09-2004, 11:13 AM

Here's a followup. Try this link to get a small RealMedia clip that I mentioned above.

h2ogo69 · 01-09-2004, 09:38 PM

wow... pure genius

hotzot · 01-11-2004, 07:34 AM

first time I tried it , I never laughed so hard!

merkerguitars · 01-11-2004, 11:31 PM

Me and a friend tried it in a video productions class...actually kinda creepy that it works so well.

zer010gic · 01-12-2004, 08:49 AM

That is a cool trick I have done it before the best is to use and original record it lines up better then with the cd. Its kinda creepy.

scansinboy · 01-28-2004, 04:05 AM

I heard somewhere that on one verion of the early vinyl releases The Wizard of Oz is mentioned somewhere on (one of?) the insert(s) sleeves.
I have no idea if this is true or not.

NoseyJoe · 01-28-2004, 08:18 PM

i thought you were supposed to start it on the part where it turns color, they broadcast the pink floyd on the SAP sound channel sometimes

forgotten_dream · 01-29-2004, 05:05 PM

I still remember the first time I did this, it was the freakiest thing i'd ever seen. o_O
I had heard of "Dark Side of the Rainbow" but i'd never had a chance to try it myself until a friend sat me down and had me try it-- i watched the whole thing almost without blinking, it just blew my mind. When I got really into it I was even noticing really minute stuff like Dorthy petting Toto in time w/ the music, but i'm sure there's alot of coincidental stuff that just seem really huge once you start matching up major stuff.

CinnamonGirl · 01-30-2004, 09:20 AM

Some friends and I tried this with a DVD & CD...it probably wasn't as exact as it would've been using a vinyl, but still pretty damn eerie.

Edit: According to The Setup, using the CD is better than using the vinyl...hmmmm...
