This is a solo and almost silent episode with Agnes Morehead
 making it easy to apply the "UmmaGumma Accompaniment.
I have experimented with leaving the original audio as an under
 layer in the sync under the Pink Floyd score... it's a nice effect!

THE FOSSE JACKSON CONNECTION - Viral Media Art


THE PROFESSOR: It is my theory that a young Michael Jackson was introduced to
 dancer Bob Fosse's outstanding choreography at a very early age. In particular is this
 scene from "The Young Prince" because it demonstrates that almost every signature
 move by Michael Jackson had it's foundation in the creation of Mr. Bob Fosse.
 Also Michael was the young prince and we won't even discuss being
alone with a young boy in the desert!

To view this Music Video Sync you will need to locate and watch the 1974
 Video/DVD of "The Little Prince" and the dance scene "A Snake in the Grass"
 starring renown choreographer Bob Fosse while you listen to an official CD
 of Michael Jackson's "Bad".
 
 
#1 - Cue the Video/DVD to pause at the beginning of the Fosse
dance number apx about 1/2 way through the movie.
 
#2 - Cue Michael's Jackson's "Bad" to the start of the track.
 
#3 - Start Video /DVD and wait for the sync cue of Bob Fosse's line.
 
"If you would like to cure the fever called life,
Get some relief from all the struggle and strife,
The greatest medicine I can propose, is under your nose...
A snake in the grass." CUE at line end.

JUPITER AND THE INFINITE ECHOES

This sync is based on the last 20+ minutes of "2001, during the last section entitled
 "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite." To view this Movie Sync you will need an official
DVD of Stanley Kubric's "2001 A Space Odyssey" and a official CD release of
 Pink Floyd's "Echoes" from the album "Meddle"


This classic sync begins with Pink Floyd's song "Echoes" from the
album "Meddle" and Stanley Kubrick's  1968 epic "2001 A Space Odyssey". 
To begin this sync:

#1 - Pause an official DVD release of 2001 at the "Jupiter
and Beyond the Infinite" title. (the last 20+ mins of the 2001)

#2 - Set your CD player with an official release of "Echoes" on pause.

#3 - Hit start on the DVD and then the CD...

Typically you should turn off the sound to 2001 and listen only to "Echoes",
 but I found through use of my computer based set-ups that a combination
 of the two is also an amazing approach.
