Rock Operas

Part v of vi of the series describing baker b.’s personal journey through the golden age of synching… coming at ya! Former parts here:

We remain in 2002 for the twinned synchs Horton Hears The Who and The Point of The Wall, created about 4 months apart during the second half of the year. Both employ a famous rock opera on the audio side, and perhaps the 2 most famous: The Who’s Tommy and Floyd’s The Wall respectively, both double albums. The dubbed videos are “Horton Hears a Who!” and “The Point”, two lower grade animations from 1970 and 1971. In each case the album is edited to scenes from the film. The main difference is that the base film for Horton Hears The Who remains unbroken and whole in the synch, while The Point is edited to fit The Wall as well as visa versa. Otherwise the two synchs are quite similar to each other, with parallel climactic moments.

Horton Hears The Who has 6 separate tiles. The Point of The Wall is a bit more complicated with 9. Each are similar in length (approx. 25-30 minutes). These are more compact and somewhat less ambitious works that either Pink Vertigo or WSF2K. The strength is an attempted fused storyline between audio and video. The editing is a bit rough as this is all analog generated still, so apologies for that — hope it doesn’t detract from the overall experience. See what you think.

Next up: the final part featuring SID’s 1st Oz; where it was all heading…
