Disney Films on TV

What an excellent report! I loved the on-board footage of Space Mountain Mission 2 and the Buzz ride, they both looked brilliant!

And considering how short the report was, they managed to show/review a lot of different things...

:lol: It only would've been better if that Laurence guy was doing it instead...

i thought it was AMAZING! although they could have mentiond a little more on halloween but still it was great!

Love the report. Best one I've seen in AGES! Although filmed in October, it really makes me want to go and the colours really were amazing. Why cant Disney (known for colourful movies) film their parks in the same way? lol

I love how the report uses the official music from the parks too - instead of usual cheesey tunes from movies or the ever-annoying "dreams can come true" song - can't remember the name, but must be something similar. The official shots are cleverly mixed in to the BBC footage as well. Seamless... almost

I uploaded the video earlier for those who didn't/couldn't see it. At the moment it's a .flv file embedded in a page to test the response to the format - just so you understand the randomness of the layout there lol.

P.S. What the hell is "Disneyland Los Angeles"? I'm sure they just mean California

Thanks for uploading.

About the colours, the camera crew cleverly used a gradient filter and a polarisation filter on their camera's, so the sky comes out better.

Footage from the people inside the attractions is always filmed by Disney camera's (Flor, correct me if I'm wrong).

LOL, yeah those gradient filters are so popular now and kinda easy to use, though very expensive still. Saying that, the basic shades of orange, pink and everything else really have come out well too (made better by the sunshine of course).

I'd imagine DLRP is set up with camera mounts/lights for on-ride footage as simple attatchments to the rides would be better than each TV company working out how to fasten thir own minicameras. This would encourage the programme to show more of the attraction than they would otherwise display... I guess. It also takes the risk out of using the cameras for both DLRP (they can insure themselves knwing it's safe) and the TV company (who probably wouldn't bother getting the shots if the camera is likely to fall off mid-ride lol).

I wonder what the arrangement is with using Disney video shots/music/graphics. I know presskits are available, but how long would the process (of agreeing to film in DLRP to using some of their material) take do you think?

Has anyone else recognised friends/CMs in the video?

I was flicking through Sky the other day and saw a feature on Paris but there was a part of the programme when the presenter was at Disneyland. She said something along the lines of 'If you want a break from the city, why not visit the Disneyland Parks for a day. They're not as good as the American ones but to keep you occupied for a day, they're alright'. She basically tore it to shreds and commented on the lack-lustre parades, too many children and over-priced merchandise! It made me laugh because that certainly won't encourage people to go there!!!

Hey, I'm glad someone managed to record that Holiday report on Halloween 2006 at Disneyland Paris. It's got some great footage in it. The BBC have got their technical skills down.

BUT, why does the presenter say "there are no age restrictions on this ride either, which is a bit of a pity because I was hoping that I might be too old", referring to Laser Blast? What's the point in visiting Disneyland Paris if you have no desire to ride any of the attractions? I wonder what the Imagineers would think of her comment? They've spent years creating this ride, and some presenter from the BBC goes there to do a report on it, yet has absolutely no desire/interest in riding it.

And when she got off, she, well they didn't give any review/rating of the attraction. Just some shots of her two boys arguing with each other.

She is a news reader in northern ireland and she has a dry sence of humour, she said the same about space mountan as well, saying she wished she wasnt the right height, she wasnt putting it down, she was just a little scared and didnt know what to expect, she didnt mean it in a way that she couldnt be bothered...

I think she thought it was a scary ride - that's why she said that.

CafeFantasia · May 22, 2007, 11:08:50 PM

Ah ok, if she thought Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast was a scary ride, then that makes sense. I guess she hadn't done any research and had no idea what type of ride it was. So I forgive her.

Still, they really shouldn't send cynical adults to do reports in Disneyland. What a waste of money. If you're gonna send someone, send someone who enjoys theme parks, enjoys simple pleasures and is a child at heart.
