interesting. Boy dark side of the moon and other Pink Floyd stuff seems to be so popular to play over film content. Likely because its atmospheric and level as far and ranging extremes goes.
I realize it could just be coincidence.... but after watching it... I just don't know anymore. There are far too many perfectly synced moments like what's in that short clip. All throughout the film, the music matches the story arch, changing scenes, moods, climaxes, and even cuts to epic views.
Ah I'm just poking a jab at it. I'm a long-time SW EU nerd, so basically I almost can't like the new movie :D I tried to give it a fair shake, but there were just too many things that I really didn't like.
I can totally understand that perspective. When I saw the film in theaters I thought it was mostly just a lot action and fan service... But with the music... Wow... See the story better, i see the beautiful shot composition... I don't think I'll ever watch it again any other way.
Give it a try with the music instead. It's a totally new experience! I really can't express enough how amazing it is without just showing more clips. If you're interested, I have the rest of it.
Meh. Star Wars is old. Pink floyd is old. Meh. I finally saw the new star wars and I was kinda upset. I'm not a sw fanboy but I really liked that it was a good series and there was no cussing. In the new one Finn says "Hell yeah!" or "Hell no!" (Don't remember) and I was like "whaaaat!?" Not cool. Not cool.
I really dig pink floyd, but like I said earlier, I really dislike the new direction of SW under Disney. Besides that, this type of thing has been done several times in the past (with Dark Side of the Moon nonetheless). Perhaps folks are just not as excited about it any more. I personally don't really see things syncing up very much in that short example you posted. I think the type of music created on dark side of the moon goes well with a lot of videos. Is there an example where the film changes from a very easygoing scene to a fast-paced space battle or something that also shows the music changing right on time? I also dont think that this would be something intentional since that would severely limit the freedom of the director and editors if they had to make sure things synced up.
