Pink Floyd’s Film Work Spanned 1965–1972

Pink Floyd had connections to four major film works between 1965 and 1972: More, La Vallée, Zabriskie Point, and Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii. In 1967, Tonite Let’s All Make Love In London included the band's recordings of Interstellar Overdrive and Nick’s Boogie created at Sound Techniques studio. For the 1968 film The Committee, the band members maintained a professional work process, though their contribution was largely restricted to a collection of sound effects. For the film More, members were paid £600 each for eight days of work, and the album track Cymbaline became a regular piece in their live performances.

During sessions in Rome for Zabriskie Point, Pink Floyd made numerous recordings, a significant portion of which went unused. Additionally, Live At Pompeii is described as an Adrian Maben film displaying the group's performance without an audience at the historical amphitheater in Rome.

Obscured By Clouds was released in 1972 to accompany the film La Vallée. Pink Floyd recorded this material at Château d’Hérouville near Paris while watching the film print. Speaking about Obscured By Clouds in 2002, David Gilmour described the project as Good fun and stated that the band did not classify film soundtracks differently.
