Pirates of the Caribbean and The Big Thundermountain Railroad WDW – Ultimate Tribute from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

Here is the first of a multi part WDW Adventureland and Frontierland history series. It made sense to produce a video showing the history of these 2 attractions since they are both connected, and indeed exist, due to the third attraction also featured in the video – the never built Thunder Mesa and Western River Expedition.

Beginning in the late 60`s see the designs and proposals in detail for Thunder Mesa and its 2 E Tickets, Western River Expedition and Big Thunder Railroad. Follow the plots and concepts of both rides, plus the Mountain, before arriving in 1971 and the reasons behind and the designs of Pirates of the Caribbean. Following this is a full concepts, layout and construction section of the Orlando version, followed by a full multi angle enhanced and remastered edit of the 1973 ride with a new stereo source audio/clean live audio mix. Next, see the history and design of Caribbean Plaza and then jump forward 5 years for the reasons behind and full concept and construction coverage of Big Thundermountain Railroad – and how Western River was nearly built again.

Follow the design and layout of Big Thundermountain, and take a multi angle trip aboard the wildest ride in the wilderness. Next, follow the changes made to both attractions since 1973 and 1980, then see what took place in Pirates of the Caribbean during its major 2006 refurb. This is followed by a full multi angle, stereo source/clean live audio mix ride of the current attraction including full queue coverage. Finally, take a tour of modern day Caribbean Plaza, see the additions made for The Pirates League, what parts of Thunder Mesa were actually used and finish with a night time ride on Big Thundermountain.

85 minutes long.

This is followed by a 7 minute split screen comparison of 1990 and 2008 – taking dozens of key video clips shot around Communicore in 1990, each angle was reshot as it appears today. See what used to be where, and what isn`t there anymore. Next is a look at the Innoventions fountain shows, the fountain and stage history, and a look at key fountain shows; The Rocketeer from 1995 with no plaza canopies, then present day shows of Surprise in the Skies (night), Iron Will (night), Fanfare (theme from DisneySea) (day), Celebrate the Future (day) and Standing in Motion (night with one hell of an electrical storm backdrop!) Finish off with a look around Innoventions plaza at night.

Holiday Wishes 2008 from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

A 3 angle edit of this years holiday fireworks show in the Magic Kingdom, with a source/live pyro audio mix. This is my first full edit in the world of widescreen and HD sourced video, with my new edit PC, and though standard definition in format the quality is far better than my previous edits. Hence the larger file size. Enjoy, and happy holidays!

O’Canada 2007 – Updated Tribute from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

Relive in full the re edited and updated version of O’Canada with multi camera flicker free video and an ALD/clean live audio mix. Obviously a video can`t do Circlevision 360 justice, but for those who enjoyed seeing the film in Epcot this may be the next best thing.
