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. 

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

Before the Peace on Earth tag was this EPCOT holiday fireworks special which played from 1994-1998. With thanks to the original uploaders, I’ve cleaned up the footage to present a multi angle video of the festive show. The main show is followed by a little extra  treat, and both parts have a source audio / live pyro audio mix.

Merry Christmas.

Laserphonic Fantasy 2022 edit by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

A little something I’ve wanted to revisit for a while now. With more footage than previously, that I’ve cleaned up a little, here is a multi angle edit of EPCOT Centers 1984 to 1988 lagoon night show. Audio is a source score / live ambiance mix. Additional footage by Mike Patino, RetroWDW, Steve W and Theme Park Vistas – used with my thanks.

Illuminations 25 A and B by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

Following on from last months illumiNations, here are both versions of Walt Disney Worlds 25th anniversary show. Each show features multi angle video and a source score / live pyro audio mix. Video is of its vintage but I’ve cleaned it up somewhat.

IllumiNations 1988-1996 by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

A re edit I’ve wanted to do for a while. Go back to 1982 and follow the history of Carnaval de Lumiere then New World Fantasy, then take a detailed look at Laserphonic Fantasy. This is followed by a look at the changes made in 1988, and then the whole original IllumiNations show, shot from multiple angles with a source score / live ambiance audio mix. Video is of its vintage, but I’ve done some cleaning up and enhancements to improve the quality.

Reflections of Earth a farewell by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

Well, here it is. Having edited this show numerous times over the last few decades here is my farewell edit. Shot in Full HD over the last five years, I pulled footage from numerous shows in an attempt to show every detail and every visual effect from wide “full show” shots to closeups.

Begin with a unique tour of the lagoon with some facts about the performance. Wait for sunset, follow the chapters of the show, and then experience the entire show one last time, from multiple angles and with source quality earth globe footage superimposed. This is followed by the post show as guests left the park.

Audio is a new source score, clean live pyro mix with subtle and not so subtle details like shell launchers, the inferno barge and burning effects along with the traditional bangs.

Epcots 35th Anniversary by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

Join the crowds on October 1 2017 as you wait for the park to open. See the 10am stage presentation in multiple angles once the rain stopped, the displays in Odyssey and go shopping for 35th merchandise. Take one of the evenings dessert parties that were available and then take your place for a highlights edit of Reflections of Earth followed by the 35th anniversary tag in full, shot from multiple angles and with a source audio / live pyro mix.
