Nah, I know they aren't.You might do this now already, but I should tell you to make your drafts private. One time during Sorcerer's Apprentice, either IDI or RM found out what your team was doing from looking at your Youtube channel.
It's simple laziness on my part not to open up creator studio and flip them, frankly.
My editing studio uploads directly, and then I have to go into youtube and flip them manually, and sometimes I do. Most of the time I don't.
Now you all know. <grin>
I just assumed good faith that competators wouldn't look.
Now I need to reconsider that.

Vimeo says it'll take 42 minutes to upload… Is that alright then @Zweiland? @Tip Top Club ?
Fun Fact: Me and Vox spied on your guy's Frozen land video…..
Another Fun Fact: I Listened to Snowman Anthem the whole time I did my work that week

@englanddg – The Lovers, The Dreamers and YOU
What a fantastic opening! You were able to give a feeling of what the show would be like emotionally right away, and while it was a similar idea to Sorcery in the Sky it was just different enough to work.
I particularly enjoyed the Tron moment, Lasers have come so far in recent years, and with the recent Illuminations upgrade you harnessed that at just the right time.
I have to say that the name leaves me a little cold. If I heard that name I wouldn’t necessarily know it was a nighttime show, and if I did it would seem like a Muppets themed nighttime show. I would also question the pacing of the show a little. Obviously it’s a demo so I was trying to forgive some rough transitions but going from Muppets to Star Wars so quickly threw off my groove a little bit, and that happened a few more times thoughout.
@RMichael21 – Disney’s Cinemagic in the Stars
While the general concept for this show seems like a winner, we’ve obviously done it before with shows like Fantasmic!, I question how everything you tried to fit in fits together, and your video didn’t really give me an idea of that. Sure we know which characters are included, and the overall theme, but I was left with a lot of How? And Why?
One of the differences between these show with Live Actors and A Show like Englanddg’s fireworks show is that you are literally placing these characters in the same space, and you need a reason for that, Placing Mickey and Minnie type characters in the Star Wars and Muppets world doesn’t quite work for me.
On the Spectromagic Theme, that song is so Magic Kingdom to me that I couldn’t see it working at any other park, it feels like a similar slap in the face as when they used Baroque Hoedown for Light Magic.
You also mention a completely new stage with magical elements such as “Trap Doors” and “Elevators” things the current stage already has, which make it seem like the new stage is completely unnecessary.
The Idea of a drone powered LED canvas in the sky is a winner. It has endless possibilities which is excellent, but then you didn’t provide any examples of how you would use it, which seems like a missed opportunity. Ultimately I’m not quite sure I understood the entire proposal.
Which makes the winner of this match-up @englanddg !! Congratulations!
@jdmdisney99 – Disney’s Hollywood Dreams
First of all, I love the idea of the Hollywood Hill. (Although I probably would have made it say “Hollywoodland” to envoke the golden age feel). L.A. And Hollywood are mountainous areas and that would go a long way toward making the entire park feel more immersive, and the GMR building is certainly large enough to handle it. It also gives you a space for projections, albeit flat ones which is not quite as exciting as if you projected them on an irregular surface (such as Cinderella Castle).
The Show itself however was a bit too similar to Sorcery in the Sky for my taste, even going so far as to use intro audio from that show. I would also question some of the properties you used. The Western segment went on a little long I thought, and the Lord of the Rings doesn’t seem to fit with the rest of the vision. You also talked about going through Cinematic History but it seemed that after the Western Segment they were all fairly modern films. And then at the end it seemed we were back in the Golden Age of Hollywood. I’m not sure I understood the flow the show.
@MonorailRed – Walt’s Vault
Something you did better than any other contestant here was to create a sense of total immersion. I completely understood the sense of the entry experience and I had no question of how it was to look, you seem to understand the current state of Imagineering very well. You completely transported your guests into this world. That being said, loading an amphitheater just a few people at a time seems wildly impractical, and even if it were a fairly large number, you would have to start incredibly early, which would be a detriment to those who got their first, waiting for the theater to fill, and would potentially even limit the amount of shows per night based solely on how long it would take to load the theater.
Your show gets off to a little bit of a rocky start. I understood what you were going for with the flowing yellow lights, but I felt it lacked a wow moment.
That being said, I completely understood, and loved your vision for the steamboat willie sequence, and I got on board from there. I would question the pacing of the show a little bit, as well as the inclusion of live actors. I understood that the CDA, and the Storm troopers were live, but I didn’t really get what they were doing there. Where did they come from? Are they there just for show? I wanted more from the live actors. I also wish you had included your flying Witch in the video you talked about, but I never saw it. You were also lacking a true vista. While guests are waiting for the theater to load what are they looking at…some rocks? I recognize that that’s what they look at in Fantasmic, but at least there’s a curtain to block backstage view so it’s more like looking at an empty stage.
The Finale of the show won me back though as there was finally the wow moment that I was looking for at the beginning. I understood your vision for the Over the Rainbow and Fantasia segments and thought that was a great way to end the show.

Good Luck to you as well england!
This it going to be awesome…. Team Fantasy VS Team Fantasy? It's on!
I have to titles under my belt...so...I'm coming for you!
FINAL ROUND
@englanddg vs. @MonorailRed
Let me congratulate you both for being amazing. You've each made it through two rounds now. Theoretically, there should only be 33% of the competition left. But you're not even close to done (this next one, if I may say so, is a doozy).
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS.
THE CHALLENGE
Ladies and gentlemen, the final Imagineering challenge of 2014!
.jpg)
World Showcase in Epcot is an excellent glimpse into the cultures, landscapes, and traditions of many countries. With each pavilion bordering the lagoon, there is excellent thematic contrast seeing a Norwegian stave church across the water from a British pub, or a pyramid in Mexico acrossfrom a Parisian café.
The Imagineers set aside a lot of land for future expansion when designing World Showcase:
All in all, there are 8 expansion pads just waiting to be used. Your assignment is to fill each of these expansion pads with a pavilion, each one representing a unique region of the world. You may get rid of any existing structures currently occupying the space of the expansion pads. There are two rules:
1) More than one pavilion can take up an expansion pad.
2) A pavilion cannot take up more than one expansion pad
There are no limitations on content. Go crazy with your imaginations!
Due date is December 28th, 2014 at midnight E.T. (at the end of the day)
Your guest judge for this round is @marni1971

Elite Eight Finale
We Go On: A Revived World Showcase by @MonorailRed
We Go On: A Revived World Showcase by @MonorailRed
For this challenge we were tasked with filling in the 8 World Showcase Pavilion Spaces left in the area. Although I could have chosen more then eight pavilions, I wanted to keep it classic thematically to work with today’s World Showcase by choosing eight pavilion from countries Around the World : Greece, Ireland, Honduras, Jordan, India, South Africa, Australia, and Thailand.
I also wanted to bring the World Showcase into the 21st century by adding new elaborate 360 movies, cuisine and attractions. The attraction choices were created to mesh well with the Frozen Pavilion, by adding characters to the showcase, but also classic world-showcase-like attractions, such as Ireland’s Eachtraíochta.
Most Importantly, I choose to move countries in real life to different areas of the pavilion, so each pavilion would stand out more boldly and they wouldn’t “bleed into” each other as much. I also chose the same direction with the architecture, I choose to have a new pavilion experience around every corner. For example, Ireland and UK are split, as is Honduras and Mexico Pavilions. The architecture of Thailand and Mexico could “bleed into each other, so they are split as well. The only one’s close to each other with colonization history is Australia and England.
Greece
The surroundings of the Greece Pavilion are lush and green, with a Ancient Grecian Feel. The center of the Pavilion features a smaller Replica of the Parthenon. Inside the Parthenon is an eatery called The Olive Tree.

The Olive Tree serves Quick Service during the day, and Table Service during the evening (Similar to Be Our Guest). During lunch, statues inside the restaurant stand in stone while at night, they come to life for table service meals.

It's been a great year of armchair Imagineering. We've been through several ups and downs, but the best appears to be still ahead of us.
With that, I would like to formally announce and congratulate the 2014 ICS Champion... @MonorailRed! Great job!
