Oh...Any chance of YOU running over into Aug?

The Hotel Hunt has pushed me into the latter part of the summer.

Matt - wow! 4 weeks on Saturday

Up unto last year, for WDW my edits were made up of what I`d shot in 2001 and 1990, plus a lot of footage that I`ve had `donated` from various people. Luckily my own footage was quite comprehensive - even in `90 I envisaged one day being able to make use of it in an edit (at the time I was a CG artist working with SVHS, Lo and Hi Band video and Beta SP so I knew how to shoot to edit) - I must add the other footage I`ve been able to use has been invaluable too.

Last October (again for WDW) was the first time I`ve had the luxury of being able to plan what I need before hand then go and get it. Yes, that does mean riding the same attraction several times to cover different angles and details, plus riding to capture audio multiple times - for example I had to ride Imagination 3 times purely for audio (the front car leaves the scenes before the overhead music has finished, the rear car misses the start of each scenes overhead audio, and there are trackside mounted speakers to aim for too)

I also rode Gran Fiesta and Living with the Land three times, Seas with Nemo two or three times, ToT 6 times (in a row - thanks ml13!) and Test Track 7 times for all the angles I wanted. I also shot Wishes 4 times and Spectro multiple times - there are still a few more Spectro details I`m after next month before I`ll be happy to edit it; see - the luxury of planning beforehand!

I think the first shot plan I did was for DLPs Fantillusion in 2005. I researched each showstop position before we travelled so I knew where to sit on each night for what angle to make a complete video.

30 days!

She's a darlin', Martin. :lol: So curoiusity has gotten the better of me... how do you go about videoing an attraction for your projects? Do you ride it multiple times with the cam pointed in different directions each time/etc? or what?

Awwww...That's cute!

She's come to expect to turn to talk to me and find me 5o yards behind taping something, and bless her, she admits to now keeping quiet on attractions when she knows I`m taping - and I tell her if I already have the source audio. Indeed, last year she kicked me off to Epcot for a morning to shoot WoL and the 25th display whilst she sunbathed at our pool at CBR! She does put up with an awful lot.

WOW.

That should be fun...How does Michelle put up with this LOL?

4 weeks on Saturday....

Taping this year? I want more Innoventions clips to match some 1990 angles I shot, some more RoE details, A flicker free RoC and another UoE, another O'Canada! and of course hours of SSE.

And that`s just Epcot for starters!

Just a month more!

And I can't wait for that tribute BTW.What are your plans for this trip?Anything that needs to be filmed?

Yep - 2 days off work. Time well spent in beginning my Mexico Ultimate Tribute video

Happy Tuesday, Martin! Hope you've had a good one so far.

A pleasant Monday to you, Martin! Hope you have a great week.

I'll be sure to tell you if I go in July...It would be a honnor to meet you!

However,I should make sure I'm going at all first. The hotel hunt continues....

Happy Weekend!

Thank you. Have a good one everybody

Happy Friday, Martin! Best wishes for a wonderful weekend!

Almost June...

I've worn mine about three times... only on the most appropriate of occasions.
Happy Thursday!

The shirts do look good - looks like I`ll be in MouseGear once I`ve ridden SSE a few times on the 5th (eh, Rob??!)

Of course, our LE ones are the best. I`ve only worn one of mine once (to DLP, of course )
