Spaceship Earth 1982 – Martins 2023 edit from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

A new version of my recreation of the original Spaceship Earth. Thanks to new footage we now have a better understanding of every show scene, including the computer area. I’ve tidied up the video quality a little, but it is still very much of its time, as is the audio – although again this is the complete Vic Perrin (yes, Vic) narration without sections missing.

Take a journey back to the origins of the attraction, see the site constraints and why it was built where it was, the ride layout and then its construction. Next take a tour of the area followed by full coverage of the queue and the ride itself, shot in multi angle 4K with a new source audio mix. After unloading take a look around the exit area and then wait for dark and take another ride after sunset.

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.

If You Had Wings to Dreamflight – Martins 2020 Ultimate Tribute from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

Go back to 1971 to see how and why If You Had Wings was added to the park. Take a look at the ride layout, and then an all new ride edit from walk in to unload with new and enhanced footage, and a new source audio mix.

Next take a ride through on If You Could Fly, with a new live audio mix

See the changes made for Dreamflight, it’s design and construction and then take a Dreamflight with an all new edit from walk in to walk out, with new and enhanced footage and a source audio mix

After Take Flight! opens and closes, see the changes made for Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin, and then a split screen real time comparison of If You Had Wings, Dream Flight and Space Ranger Spin.

Alien Encounter – Martins 2019 Ultimate Tribute from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

A brand new edit of the Magic Kingdoms multi sensory epic. Take a look at the planning and changes the building underwent for the attraction, then take a look and listen at version one of the attraction, why it didn’t work, and the changes made. Next walk into the building for both preshows in full, with more higher quality footage than before, then take your seats in the main theatre for the full main show, again with plenty of higher quality new footage and plenty of source side screen footage. Audio is a brand new multi track source mix.

The Hall of Presidents 2009 by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

Number four in the series, and as we move through time we move into the realm of HD and 4K too. See the changes made in 2009 to the attraction – the biggest in its history to date – then take a look outside, around the lobby, and then the whole Obama version of the show, shot with a combination of HD, 4K, and tripod. Audio is a brand new ALD / clean live mix that I hope is the best available to date.

The Hall of Presidents 2001 by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

Part 3 of 5. See the changes made to the show for George W Bush, and the interim hybrid show that played. Then see the whole 2001-2009 version of the show, with flicker reduced or eliminated, multi angle video and a source / ALD / Clean live audio mix.

The Hall of Presidents 1993 by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

The second in my five part series. See the changes made to the show in 1993, then watch the whole Bill Clinton version of the show with multi angle video and an ALD/ clean live audio mix. As before, projection flicker is reduced or eliminated.

The Hall of Presidents 1971 by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

I was thinking about an edit of the most recent version of HoP. Then I thought about re editing the Obama video I did some ten years ago.

And so of course I then decided to do all five versions of the show to date, beginning with the original. See the origins of the show, and then experience the whole original show with flicker reduced / eliminated video and a high quality none-live audio track.

Its Tough to be a Bug DCA by Martin from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

Travel back to DCAs A Bugs Land and walk through the queue and into the holding area. Browse the art then enter the theatre for the complete attraction, shot on a tripod with a polarizing lens for a 2D image. Complete animatronic coverage is also included and audio is source quality.
