Big Thunder Mountain Railroad part 1 – Anaheim – Martin’s 2021 Ultimate Tribute from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

The start of an 8 part Thunder Mountain / Pirates of the Caribbean series. See the origins of the ride, how it jumped the queue and was squeezed into Anaheim, it’s design and layout, then take a full, shot in 4K, walk of the queue and multi angle ride in both daytime and night. Audio is a new source and clean live 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.

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.

Rise of the Resistance – Martins Ultimate Tribute from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

A huge edit, in the making for nearly a year, of one of Disney’s most advanced attractions. See the origins of Star Wars expansion in Orlando, how the land developed, and the development of the attraction.  Follow the ride from entrance to exit in an animated hi resolution and highly detailed plan, how it works, and how it was built.

Next walk into Orlando’s  Batuu and walk an empty standby line before a multi angle preshow one, then board your transport for a multi angle, multi picture preshow two ride. Take in the destroyers hanger and interior, experience preshow three and then board your ride vehicle for a multi angle, full ride offering viewpoints from both vehicles. Exit the attraction and see the area – and ride changes – at night and then compare both ride vehicles viewpoints in a synchronised split screen ride through. All video was shot in HD or 4K and audio is a huge live / clean / source quality mix.

Given the events of 2020, this edit would not have been possible without the help and generosity of the following to whom I am extremely grateful:

49 minutes long. Enjoy!

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.

Halloween Screams from Rivers of America by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

Shot in 2019, Disneyland’s Halloween fireworks from the secondary viewing location just after Fantasmic. Shot from the front row with two cameras to include the fireworks plus all the projection / fountain / lights and laser effects. Audio is an induction / live ambiance mix. Enjoy and happy Halloween.

Ratatouille Walt Disney Studios Paris – Martin’s Ultimate Tribute from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

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.

For the attractions 38th birthday, here is an updated version of the original version of Spaceship Earth. With new footage, for the first time a complete representation of how the attraction looked for its first four years is now possible. Quality is what you would expect from the mid 1980s and early 90s, and a lot of footage is from the 1986 version for clarity, but everything is true to how the ride looked in 1982. Similarly, for the first time using a combination of recordings, the complete Vic Perrin (yes, it was Perrin) narration is now possible to hear. Previous recordings have had words, sentences and complete sections missing or inaudible but this live mix includes the complete original soundtrack. Again, quality is not perfect but the entire original narration is now here.
