Echoes & Other Short Films

Dir. George Greenough | 1973 | 50 mins | English 

To commemorate the release of the 50th anniversary of Echoes, George Greenough had the original version of the film and soundtrack re-scanned and remastered into stunning 4K. The resulting product is incredible. The six pack is headed up by 5 short films which George has made along the way. These films are guaranteed to put a huge smile on your face as you get treated to the view as George weaves through the tube. Enjoy a glimpse into the fun of hanging out and messing around with the crew. Hear George talking about the varying degrees and stages of wiping out. Plus enjoying the fun of cruising around in old cars during the mid-60's. The epic 22-minute edit of 'Echoes' will transport you back in time to a very special day at Lennox Point. This remastered package of Echoes by Ray Argall and Scott Welsh is truly mind blowing. The Pink Floyd sound track never sounded so good. The positive energy that the combined visuals and sound bring are truly next level.

The George Greenough experience show is a six pack of short films:

• 'GET IT BY THE WINGS’. “Starts off the show where I catch a large wasp by the wings and let it go outside.”

• ‘HEADS’. “Crew doing various things and having fun.”

• ‘WIPEOUT’. “I talk about and experience 4 different types of wipeouts all shot with an onboard camera.”

• ‘DEEP TUBE RIDING’. “This is the 2nd longest of the short films. This is the largest wave filmed for Echoes. The outside part of this wave was shot off the cove south of Lennox and the 2nd part off Lennox Point which is the big tube. This is one long camera take. I put the wave back together as it was originally shot and talk about the problems of filming a wave this big and long.”

• ‘ALL I’VE FOUND’. “Short trips in old cars in the mid-60’s.”

• ‘ECHOES’. “Music by Pink Floyd. The last and longest of the short films. Shot in 1970/71. A timeless trip in the sea you have to experience yourself.

Sound to the films is by Will Conner, Band of Frequencies, Pink Floyd.

The last film is ‘Echoes.’ It’s 22 minutes long and the music is by Pink Floyd. This film has been scanned in 4k by Ray Argall of Piccolo films who carried out both the 4k scan and the full restoration. Ray is one of the top guys in Australia who undertakes this type of work. I went with the original format of 4:3 instead of 16:9 on this film. The other 5 films are 16:9. With 4:3 you can see more of the top and bottom of the wave as its not cropped to fit the 16:9 widescreen format.

This is a short programme of about 50 minutes long and will put a smile on your face for when you leave the theatre.

Directed and filmed by George Greenough.
