The Synths in TV & Film

US Noir Et Blanc Vie goes behind the scenes      13/02/25

Is there anything more fun than seeing a familiar synth used as a prop on a TV show or film?! Mostly because they're often depicted as some kind of interstellar spaceship programming device or high-tech digital control system. Here we have an exploration of Synths in TV & Films (Movies if you're in the USA), from Noir Et Blanc Vie with a smorgasbord of clips from familiar and unfamiliar shows. There's an article on SynthAnatomy which covers a couple of others. Here are the details... 

So let's have some fun, I always loved seeing when certain synths were used as props in movies and TV, let me tell you, finding some of these scenes was hard and in the middle of 30 minute long ALF episodes.  So honestly I hope you enjoy!  If you can name any scenes please put it in the comments section, if there are enough I'll do a part 2.
