Disneyland Paris – September 2021 by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

The last for now of my trip videos, something I’d prepared for family and friends before we caught covid and so a video that’s finished and ready to share – given the popularity of my last few trip videos I hope you enjoy this one too. In September 2021 we were lucky to enjoy 3 nights and 4 days in Disneyland Paris in the lovely autumnal weather. Take a look around the nice Hotel Cheyenne and enjoy highlights of both parks when they were relatively quiet before the winter season began.

Given the popularity of our DLP 2020 trip video I was considering releasing this too as a Christmas treat. A tour of the resort and both parks with a look at many attractions in the winter of 2021, and six friends meeting after several years for a big birthday celebration.

Over the last week Michelle and I have both been suffering hugely from Covid. To say it’s not nice is beyond an understatement. So I’d like to show this edit not just as a tour of the parks in winter but also as a reminder to enjoy every day you can. Don’t take anything – or anyone – for granted. And please be safe.

The timeframe – and testing – suggests we caught covid back in the U.K. and not at Disneyland Paris. We found DLP to be a safer environment than anywhere back home in the real world.

Disneyland Paris Christmas Season 2021 by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

Hot off the press! Only shot this week! Start off in Hotel New York – Art of Marvel to look at the holiday decorations then walk over to Disneyland Parc for a look at the amazing decorations from the entrance to the castle. As night falls cross to Walt Disney Studios for a look at the decorations there, then it’s back to Disneyland for a look at the breathtaking night time decorations.

Then – Mickeys Dazzling Christmas Parade. The all new parade fantastic at night time. First, take a front row view and take in the full parade as it passes along the parade route, shot multi camera with a clean live audio mix. Follow the parade into central plaza (the hub) and see the full four stage show stop performance with Sleeping Beauty Castle as a backdrop. Next follow the parade down Main Street for a highlights showing of the Christmas tree lighting ceremony. All video is still of course multi camera.

Finally leave Town Square and return to Hotel New York via Disney Village to see the holiday decorations at night.

Happy holidays!

Pirates of the Caribbean – Martin’s 2021 Ultimate Tribute – part four Paris from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

A huge project that’s been a real labour of love for me. See why the Parisian Pirates is considered by many to be the best and most lavish version of the legacy rides. Go back to the origins of the ride, how it was changed from previous versions, how and why the storyline was altered and how it was designed and laid out and built. Also take a look at all the major changes made since 1992. Then take a full, shot in 4K tour of the attraction from outside, a detailed look at the queue, and on to the lavish load dock. I took care as much as possible to make each shot appear how the ride does. Not too dark, not too bright. Experience a full, huge multi angle edit of the ride covering every detail. Similarly I’m quite proud of the all new source and clean live audio mix I’ve slaved away at. Disembark, browse the store, walk outside, then take a full tour of Captain Jacks restaurant. Jump on the steam train to see the ride from the railroad, then take a look around the expanded attraction area at dusk. This ones been a project of passion for me. I started editing it a year ago and ended up with footage from 15 rides over 2 separate trips. I hope you think it was worth it.

The last in this series covering all 4 Thunder Mountains. See the origins of the Parisian version, why it was built where it was and how it ties into the backstory of Frontierland. Follow its design, how it varies from previous versions, and construction.

Next see why many consider this the best version of the attraction in a full, multi angle shot in 4K tour of Frontierland, the queue line and the ride itself. Since they are closely linked and the mountain is visible from her, next take a highlights tour on the Molly Brown to see the mountain from all angles, then after sundown take a night ride on Thunder Mountain too. Audio is a clean live / source audio mix.

Shot in 4K from multiple angles for all the details, here is the lavish Parisian version of the ride. Don’t let the music put you off – this is a new full source mix of the gorgeous re-recorded and orchestrated Paris soundtrack. Also included is the clock show and a ride through on the Railroad.

In a change to the scheduled program, and with the sad news that DLP has closed again, I thought this may be of interest. In September 2020 we were fortunate to be able to stay for 3 nights at Newport Bay and have 4 days in the parks. I didn’t intend to release this video at first, but I feel it’s a way to show support to the cast and the resort, and show how safe is was. Part trip video, part Disneyland Paris tour, take in Newport Bay, Disney Village and both parks including highlight edits of virtually every open attraction. Shot in 4K and with plenty of source audio, this I feel is a surreal snapshot of what was at times a beautiful but virtually empty park. We were also lucky to experience the first morning of what turned out to be a curtailed Halloween season. I hope you enjoy this 2 hour DLP tour extravaganza.

Explore the history and origins of the parks expansions since opening, then take a detailed look at the design and placement of Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquee de Remy and how the attraction works complete with a full hi resolution animated layout.

Next walk into the land for a full shot-in-4K tour, walk the queue and take a complete multi angle ride with 2D projections and a source audio mix. Exit the ride and take a tour of the Bistrot Chez Remy restaurant.
