I’ve been looking closer at the live backing concert films that came with the Immersion box sets of DSOTM & WYWH.
I saw Floyd live in the 70s so I know the films. But it is fun to sit down and see them again and really study them.
Hand drawn animation had never been done before quite like these films. Some really fabulous art imo.
I’m going to drop mp4 files of them onto my phone so I can carry them around and maybe show off short clips to friends.
I think one of the elements of these that was novel was the use of depth and changing angle perspectives. Very trip inducing when one is tripping anyway.
But it was amazing how Floyd would play the entire Dark Side album with film to go with it and then play the whole Wish You Were Here album after that with film projected behind them.
So cool to have these and not many folks talk about them.
