Boardwalk Video - Friendship Boat to MGM

[mlill]

Hi! Here is a link to my post on the Community Board about a Google Video I just made. It's a video of the boat ride from the Boardwalk to MGM, and it shows quite a bit of the exterior of the Boardwalk. It's also good for a quick Disney fix!!!

Sorry if I can't post this here, but I figured other DVC members would appreciate it!

What a great video! Is there a similar boat to MGM from BCV also? We'll be staying there at the end of June.

The same boats serve BCV, BWV and Swan/Dolphin with stops at each. One also goes to Epcot but it is faster to walk from BCV.

very cool video. Is there anyway to save the file to my pc as an mpeg to show my kids. It would be really cool to show to them and my extended family.

thanks,
Roger

Hi! I'm really glad you guys like my video! We just love the relaxing boat trip from the Boardwalk area to MGM. (Sorry we didn't film the Yacht/Beach Club stop!) We also love the boat ride from OKW to Downtown Disney! I have a video of that trip on the smaller pontoon boat, before they switched to the bigger boats because of SSR. I'll see if I can dig it up. I put the larger Mpeg file on my server for anyone who wants to download a better quality video than what's on Google Video. You can right click and save the file from here...

THANK YOU for bringing me the "Disney" feeling today. DH and I will be back in October, but having severe withdrawal symptoms. Your video was great and some of the shots were fantastic! I hope you plan on doing more of these.

Thanks. I loved it. You really made me homesick. I can't wait to get back there next month.

thanks for the link to the larger file. great work on the video. What kind of editing software did you use to get the video to fade into each segment. That was very proffesional looking. I'd love to edit some of my videos from past trips.

The video editing software I used to make this is called Sony Vegas Movie Studio. You can find it at Best Buy for around $100. I've got a Sony Vaio computer and a Sony TRV-80 digital video camera, so it was a natural choice for me! I've always wanted to do something will all of the video I've shot over the past several years, but never took the time to. I'm glad I finally did! I hope others are inspired to do the same! I love seeing everyone's favorite WDW vacation photos, and short video clips would be even better!
