My latest videos - a recap - and the last for a while

[marni1971]

Just a recap of everything now at Disney Central

WDSP Armageddon SFX & DLP Nautilus Walk thru (uploaded a few weeks ago)

This week - the DLP dark rides - Peter Pans Flight, Pinocchios Amazing Journey & Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. All with enhanced full colour video & source audio.

Pirates of the Caribbean DLP - concepts & construction section, walk in, queue, full multi camera enhanced colour video and full source audio mix, plus a look in the Blue Lagoon Restaurant.

The Story of The Big Thundermountains (recently)

Yesterday - DLP it`s a small world. Walk in, full multi camera video with source audio (the DLP audio mix ) , postshow, and the clock tower at 12 noon.

This weekend - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril DLP. Large history and concepts section, queue, full forward facing video, full backward facing video & some night time footage too.

And that will just about wrap my videos up for a while. I start a new contract on Thursday which will seriously curtail my PC time until Christmas. I`ll be on the boards as often as possible, but even that won`t be as regular. However, I do have 2 projects on the go that I will MAKE time for to complete them ASAP - hopefully within the next few weeks - Imprerssions de France and Disneylands Light Magic.

Hope the new contract goes well, glad you will still be able to poke your nose in from time to time.

Thanks all. It`s a new TV drama written by Jimmy McGoveren (Cracker) so it`ll be the usual not enough time, not enough money. Funny what you learn to live with. I`ll aim to at least get here once every other day (hopefully more) but we`re doing a Sunday to Thursday week - and it`s not unusual to do 13 hour days.

I`m a freelance Boom Operator in the real world (fluffy mike, long pole, me at one end...)

A bit like this (yep, that`s sunburn!)

My Dad has to get up at 1am tomorrow to head into London as a support artiste (extra) in a new film "Children of Man".

dolby; many have tried over the years to come up with a workable mechanism or balance, but I need to move the pole around quicky, lean it forward and pull it back (sometimes to within an inch of, say, a wall behind me) so it`s really down to technique & strength. Think of it like a gym each day where you get paid for attending! The more you do it, the more you get used to it until it`s second naturel; favourite question is `do your arms ache?` - no, but my feet do. Standing up for 10 hours a day! And yes.... that is me

Ahh Barnum...life as an extra. Did you know in Hollywood now the union name for them is `atmospheric personal"! PC gone mad. We just call them SA`s (supporting artiste, as you said) - it`s good work if you can get it and can mentally stand the hanging around. I`m sure your dad can tell you, but the going rate is around £70 a day - but you have to be at x location by y time and may not be used at all all day. Wear uncomfortable clothes. Get wet. Get cold/hot. At least an SA gets fed, though they have to wait in the lunch queue for the crew to go through first (fine by me - quite often we are `back` before them anyhow (end lunchbreak).

Sorry for going off topic but hey -it`s my thread and its all wrapped up in why I do videos

The pay Dad has received varies greatly. He did a lot of work on Phantom, which paid well but he had to turn down work on Dream Team because the pay just about covered travelling expenses.

Dad's just phoned in - the producers of this film have not fed them. Cheapskates.
