After last months blast from the past, fast forward to the present for the park’s current night time show. Shot in 4K from multiple angles to capture all the details, see the complete show accompanied by a source music / live ambiance soundtrack.

Finally, a large piece of the Epcot night time show history is answered. Here for the first time – in full – is the second regular night show the park held, which I don’t believe is available anywhere else. Building upon the previous short lived Carnival de Lumiere, and featuring 4 fountain and firework barges, 2 80x30ft floating rear projection screens and almost 700 firework shells, this show may appear crude today but was a huge technical milestone in the summer of 1983 and was subsequently built upon for Laserphonic Fantasy, the IllumiNations series and beyond.  This is a show from December 1983, and whilst the 2 angle video quality is of its time I’ve cleaned it up somewhat to offer a fascinating look into a large part of the park’s entertainment history. 

Recorded and presented here in 4K, the full Sonny Eclipse show from Cosmic Rays in the Magic Kingdom. Shot from multiple angles with a stereo source / live ambiance audio track.

Something different this month, a tour of two of the Magic Kingdoms often forgotten walk through attractions.

China at Epcot – Martins Ultimate Tribute 2023 re edit from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

This month is something I’m pleased to have been able to do. A re edit of my China tribute, but with better footage – and better quality – of Wonders of China and far better video quality of Reflections of China with far better source quality audio.

Both films are of course shown again in full, with Wonders again being split screen and Reflections again being a virtual pan and zoom camera. Wonders again has a source quality audio track.

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.

Jungle Cruise WDW 2023 by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

Shot in 4K, here is the new version of the Orlando Jungle Cruise. Take an unobscured look at the new queue displays and some of the in jokes, and then board Skipper Mikaylas bote for a full multi angle ride with the revised script and new show scenes.

With the retirement of this show, here it is in full, shot in 4K from multiple angles with a source score / clean live pyro audio mix

To mark the retirement of this Magic Kingdom night time show, here it is recorded in 4K from multiple angles to capture the fireworks, lasers, lighting, castle and Main Street projections. Audio is a source score / live pyro mix.
