Imagination 82 – The Original Imageworks
by admin on Oct.09, 2009, under Epcot, Future World, Walt Disney World
Imagination 82 – The Original Imageworks from Martins Videos on Vimeo.
A research project that turned into a full video. With the help of Craig Mathieson and John Werner, ex WED employees who helped design the original Imageworks, see the layout of the original upstairs level of the pavilion and also each and every original exhibit. See what changed during the rehab of 1990-1991 and how the layout altered, then see each new exhibit. See the original fountain garden of 1982, what has changed, then as a bonus go into the Magic Eye Theatre; see 4 minutes of Makin’ Memories with source audio – the only known video recording of the preshow, and then see the very rare Dreamfinder 2D introduction to Magic Journeys by Michael Jittlov that was never used and never shown to any guests. And finally, see a remastered copy of the first 12 minutes of Magic Journeys, shot live with source audio.
47 Imaginative minutes long. Enjoy!

Thanks for creating this amazing history of the Image Works. I didn’t get to see it until 1994 for the first time, so a lot of the images and film were new to me.
Thank you for all of your hard work!

Are you by any chance aware of the 1986 preshow before CAPTAIN EO that had a song called “Capture a Smile”?
