The Beatles recorded The Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, and Let It Be in synchronization with the Roman Polanski movie entitled Rosemary's Baby. This was a response to the movie having been filmed in synchronization with earlier Beatles album titles, including: Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Revolver, Rubber Soul, Help, and Beatles For Sale. Much that is strange about Beatle Lyrics in the later albums is explained by this movie-album synchronization between Rosemary's Baby and the music of the Beatles. The start point for these synchronizations is easy to find. One simply pauses the movie right when the weird piano chime sounds, just as the Paramount Studio logo flashes onto the screen. This occurs right at the beginning of the film for Rosemary's Baby, so one simply pauses right at the beginning of the movie, and then starts the first song on the album and the movie simultaneously for the synchronization to line up properly (for The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2, the start point happens a few seconds later during the studio logo intro, when the musical chime or drum roll indicates the start point). The CD player should be in repeat-all mode while the movie plays, so that the music lasts the entire length of the movie.
Stanley Kubrick also made use of the Brittish-release Beatles albums for his movie, including an echoing loop version of Abbey Road. Typically, the start point for a movie-album synchronization is where a musical hints have been included with the studio logo intro, at the exact point of the first beginning credit, or when the musical score begins (the case for Boys Don't Cry, a Let It Be/Abbey Road movie for certain). The DVD versions of Stanley Kubrick movies filmed after 2001: A Space Odyssey can be played in synchronization with the CD version of Abbey Road all day long. Just leave the DVD and CD playing uninterupted right through the main menu sequence and into the next showing of the movie for as long as one feels like studying (2001 uses an echoing loop version of Revolver).
Anyway, Spinal Tap was filmed in synchronization with The White Album. The start point is the word "boogie," and the jet engine sound on the album matches the jet flying over on the film.
You didn't focus in on films and floyd, etc... to begin with in making your internet search reply. An internet search done for Khephra Sol brings up a number of different Khephra Sols. The ones which are me do not indicate that I am "different," nor that I am rabbiting on about anything.
Anyway, Eugenie ... the story of her journey into perversion was synched with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Rubber Soul. Jesse Franco liked to use the Beatles for his films.
the synchronizing thing never did much for me either. there are so many other things a person can use their time for. i bet if people stopped trying find movies that synch with albums and did soemthing productive we'd have a cure for cancer by now.
I've done the Floyd/Wizard Of Oz thing in college and thought that was neat. We then did a Sgt. Peppers/Wizard Of Oz thing that was just as good. Its all hogwash.
If these synchs are done correctly, they are clearly purposeful, just as is the DSOTM/Oz synch. You have to use the correct start points (there are three for the Floyd-Dorothy synch: Third Roar, Third Chest Rap, and Third Heal Click). I'll have to try the Sgt. Pepper-Oz combination, though my suspicions that Sgt. Pepper is a Catcher In The Rye synch will probably turn out to be true.
Not all music synchs with all films by the way. I've experimented with this, and it just isn't true. The synchs I like to discuss couldn't possibly be accidental. Accidental synchs are rare and usually either comical or boring. Very rarely are they informative.
Example: Pornography, by The Cure, was used in filming Coppola's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula (beginning of music score is start point). The song entitled Pornography starts just as Lucy and Nina are going to sit down on the bench in the garden, and then ends as they are leaving a bench in the same garden. The same album was used for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and there Pornography starts up just as Hermione sits down on the bench seat in the train, and then ends just as she seats herself in at the diner table at Hogwarts the same night (candy is symbolic of or analogous to pornography). These synchs are their own culture within the mass media industries. A culture which is steeped in alchemical tradition I might add.
If these synchs are done correctly, they are clearly purposeful, just as is the DSOTM/Oz synch.
You need to lay off the weed Khephra. The 'Dark Side Of The Moon/Wizard Of Oz' synch wasnt purposely done. If so, why doesnt the album/CD/Tape last for the entire movie? I can just see Roger Waters and Gilmour plotting how they could make their album mysterious by synching it up with 'WOO'. Give me a break.
Sure Al. People have stated that if you play 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' while the 'Wizard Of Oz' movie is playing, the music and the story line synch up and makes sense together. Of course this pertains to many other instances also and not just Floyd/Oz. Also, the more stoned you get, the better the synch seems. Imagine that. Anyways, here's a link that explains how to do it.
