Spaceship Earth 1982 – Martins 2023 edit

by on Jul.01, 2023, under Epcot, Future World, Walt Disney World

Spaceship Earth 1982 – Martins 2023 edit from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

A new version of my recreation of the original Spaceship Earth. Thanks to new footage we now have a better understanding of every show scene, including the computer area. I’ve tidied up the video quality a little, but it is still very much of its time, as is the audio – although again this is the complete Vic Perrin (yes, Vic) narration without sections missing.

EPCOTs 40th Anniversary – A Megamix by Martin

by on Oct.01, 2022, under Epcot, Future World, Walt Disney World, World Showcase

EPCOTs 40th Anniversary – A Megamix by Martin.mp4 from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

15 years ago I created an audio mix celebrating the history of the park, with no idea how popular it would be.

For the 40th anniversary I’ve revisited the idea and spent a lot of time expanding and improving on the original. Better quality. More source. More content. At almost an hour long, this soundtrack is a journey from the past to the present and – I hope – touches on every main show, attraction and genre of entertainment the park has had, some well known and some more obscure.

Like 15 years ago, I purposely didn’t lay the tracks in chronological order. I thought it’d be more fun to have a few surprises and play “guess the show/attraction”. I will post a full track listing afterwards (there’s well in excess of 100 main topics and numerous sub topics)

Spaceship Earth 1982 Martins 2020 Edit

by on Sep.05, 2020, under Epcot, Future World, Walt Disney World

For the attractions 38th birthday, here is an updated version of the original version of Spaceship Earth. With new footage, for the first time a complete representation of how the attraction looked for its first four years is now possible. Quality is what you would expect from the mid 1980s and early 90s, and a lot of footage is from the 1986 version for clarity, but everything is true to how the ride looked in 1982. Similarly, for the first time using a combination of recordings, the complete Vic Perrin (yes, it was Perrin) narration is now possible to hear. Previous recordings have had words, sentences and complete sections missing or inaudible but this live mix includes the complete original soundtrack. Again, quality is not perfect but the entire original narration is now here.

Wonders of Life – Martins Complete Ultimate Tribute

by on Aug.04, 2018, under Epcot, Future World, Walt Disney World

Wonders of Life – Martins Complete Ultimate Tribute from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

The last of my completely new Futureworld re edits (but not the last from EPCOT Center) sees a huge, 100 minute long detailed look at the 1989 pavilion.

Start with a look at early designs and proposals for the Health and Life pavilion, how the final design was arrived at, laid out and then built.

Walk into the pavilion and take a full multi angle tour. As well as vintage 80s and 90s clips, much of this footage was shot early and late in the day of the pavilions last day of operation to show unobscured views of the interior. This is a detailed tour of the inside, walking pass Pure and Simple, then walk through the exhibits of Sensory Fun House and arrive at…

Cranium Command
Walk the queue and see the holding area displays. See the full preshow in high quality, steadily shot and stabilised in an empty theatre with screen flicker greatly reduced and an ALD audio track.
Walk into the main theatre, take your seat for a full, multi camera complete mainshow edit, partly tripod shot, again with all projection flicker greatly reduced and with a new stereo source quality audio mix.
Leave the Cranium theatre and cross over to…

The Making of Me
Take your place in the queue for the Birth Theatre, then take your seat for the full movie presentation. This unobscured video was tripod shot, keystone corrected and flicker eliminated. Audio is a clean live and ALD mix.
Walk through Coaches Corner, MET Life Styles and then head for….

Body Wars
Walk the whole main queue with all three complete preshows in source quality. Proceed to the waiting area and watch the whole load video, again in source quality. Board body probe 229 for the full, unobscured main ride. Video was steadily shot with a bonus of the ride motion base disabled, enhanced and is flicker free. The side screen was similarly shot and is overlaid as needed. Audio is a new stereo source quality track.
Exit the ride into Frontiers of Medicine and then enjoy…

Goofy About Health.
The whole show presented as a multi screen edit with each screen shot separately and a clean, enhanced live stereo audio track.
Take a look at Anacomical Players, take a last look around and then see the major changes made over the years. Phew!

Next we move to World Showcase.

The Living Seas – Martins Complete Ultimate Tribute

by on Jul.07, 2018, under Epcot, Future World, Walt Disney World

The Living Seas – Martins Complete Ultimate Tribute from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

The next in my series of completely new edits. Starting with an in-depth look at the pavilions history, and the original 1978 “The Seas” pavilion, see how a “hybrid” version developed and would have looked before coming to the 1986 version for an in depth look at its design, layout and construction.

Next, take a look outside and then walk in for a look at the queue and exhibits before reaching the holding rotunda for a faithful and accurate high quality recreation of the original United Technologies preshow one. Proceed into one of the preshow theatres for a new, high quality edit of the original “The Sea” preshow with ALD audio.

Leaving the preshow, browse the hydrolator hall before your descent, again with higher quality multi angle video and source / clean audio.

Arriving at the sea bed, again take a look around before boarding a Seacab for a multi angle video, higher quality audio ride with Commander Fulton to Seabase Alpha. Take a complete tour of the seabase, the divers lockout chamber, all six exhibit modules, J.A.S.O.N. and the viewing area. See both versions of The Coral Reef restaurant and take an authorised, accompanied tour of the United Technologies VIP lounge.

Finally, see the changes made to the pavilion over the years. 72 minutes long.

The Land – Martins Complete Ultimate Tribute – Three of Three 2005-2018

by on May.05, 2018, under Epcot, Future World, Walt Disney World

The Land – Martins Complete Ultimate Tribute – Three of Three 2005-2018 from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

The third and final brand new look at The Land pavilion. Start with a look at the changes made in 2005, how the Soarin’ theatres were added and how the ride system works. Following the rededication take a full tour in HD of the pavilion. Board your boat for Living with the Land, with hopefully the best quality and most complete video coverage of the 2005 version of the ride. This is accompanied by hopefully the best, cleanest and most source-like audio soundtrack available, recorded from private boat rides for clean ambiance and source quality mixes of music and narration.

Next up take the trek to Soarin’ for the full original preshow and mainshow, with again hopefully the highest quality audio and video possible.

Join a Behind the Seeds tour for highlights of the walk through the ride areas for an alternate look at the greenhouses.

See the additions made for Soarin’ Around the World, the addition and placement of the third theatre, then the highlights of the new version of the attraction with an emphasis on the ride system.

Finally take an extended view of the rides show scenes from The Garden Grill restaurant.

Continuing with my completely new edits from EPCOT Center, here is the original Land pavilion. Start with a detailed look at the 1978 Land and Mineral pavilion, followed by a tour of the never built hybrid version.
