I agree. I am just hoping that when the say "test" that its only a test. That they haven't worked out the bugs. I love all of it except the oddly placed photos.

I agree about the Tink thing. That's neat....hopefully, since this was just a test, they we rethink some of these ideas and only use the best ones. The pictures need to go.
Also, anybody else notice what appears to be a drop down projector screen about where they use to have the giant 50 mirror medallion on the front of the castle.
I hope that thing is motorized so that we don't have to look at it during the day. :hurl:

I'm not a big fan of pictures being shown on the castle. Seems to take a little bit of the majesty away from it. I don't care to see other people's pictures up there. Feels too AFHV to me.
Ya know, people will probabably love it though when their picture shows up.
And does Disney need their permission to show a person's image? Seems they would as it is sort of like advertising. I bet there will be a tiny little sign at the entrance tunnels with the legal speak permitting it (like they do when filming things).
:shrug:
I liked the Celebrate campaign better.

Ugh! Next people will be able to tweet their own messages onto the castle! Then we know the magic is gone!

You know what should be done! Someone take a picture of themselves as Waldo and hopefully will see it projected on the castle...We can then play where's waldo! :lol:
This was at DLP in 2004 from what I understand it was only done once...But, still pretty cool. Especially Vincent Price's Laughter hauntingly still used for the attraction.

Very cool...but obviously Parisoner's/Parisians/Parasites don't know not to take a flash picture of a projection either. :brick:
I foresee this being a major problem at MK with this.

That's why I suggested running them a couple times a day on the monitors that show while you are in line..I understand that they are a part of the "show", but...

I just think that it is strange. :shrug: Showing a slide show of your vacation pics to family is one thing, but to total strangers..why?? :veryconfu I'll just skip this show and find something else to do.

I just don't see how projecting guest images on the castle is any kind of draw. I don't like the pictures cluttering up the castle and I'm not about to sit around waiting to see if my family ends up being shown. The castle is beautiful as it is, especially at night with the lighting.

Ok, I am now convinced that WDI is completely out of imagination! "When all else fails, show guests a picture of themselves (new SSE, Tower of Terror Nighttastic, etc)!!!" And then of course, the average idiot eats this crap up, so I almost can't blame them for not trying.
But this is DISNEY. They should be trying NO MATTER WHAT.
This isn't trying. This is "OMGZ we need a celebration otherwise SURELY attendance will drop!!" At this point if they did NOT do a "celebration", that would be more of a celebration to me.

Pros: Interesting effects, with the pencil line sketch and Tink.
Cons: I can make a better photo slide show with my Mac.
My MAIN problem with this new "celebration" is that it's cheap and banks on nostalgia. Nostalgia is flawed, it's emotional, and it's irrational. It's a dirty ploy to bank on people's children, parents, and families to sell them into a park. And then to try and get them to do all the marketing for you is even slimier.
It's a shame that Disney think they can't go one full year without some sort of promotion or celebration going on; that their product is too weak otherwise. A crying shame.

Is it me or does the first test with the sketchy lines look a whole lot like my Photoshop painting in my signature?
That's so cool! Total skill
Was it supposed to be the blue prints or am I totally getting it wrong?
I don't think the projections would be that bad if they could sure up some of the lose ends to this idea. If they could provide some sort of way of organizing the pictures by date of visit, then it would be much more appealing. When you submit your "memories" there could be an option to put in what dates you will be going to either resort. Then they could have an automated email system in which they tell which day of your visit to come to the Magic Kingdom if you want to see your "memory" on the castle. This would eliminate the problem of having your picture shown......whenever.
As for the actual projection test, I think it leaves a lot to be desired. The test just looks like a Windows Movie Maker slideshow, splashed up on the Castle. Not very professional, and it seems to me they didn't think about how to creativity project the pictures on the castle. There are many ideas that come to mind, none of which involve static panning pictures/videos. Why not have collages that form interesting shapes. Have themes to each part of the show; Happy, Funny, Magical, etc. With these themes they could also use dynamic lighting to further drive home the idea of the themes.
The whole memories promotion just lacks preparedness to me. It need something to actually make we want to make memories, not share old ones.

Well said. That pretty much sums up why this "celebration" is crap.

If they use it correctly, it could very be awesome. I just hope they don't show the picture all night.
