Does anyone have the 18 disc DVD Disney set?

They have many of the videos on google video search. Take a look at the dark rides. Very DARK. :sad2:

Yep, its just a black picture set to music. I can get that on Channel 62 in my area. :)
 
Does anyone have this think it is worth the money. My home movies always involve forgetting to turn the camera off and taking pictues of feet or the inside of the camera bag. :rotfl2:
 
Well, I'm a disney-all-day sucker! I ordered the set. I'll watch them when they come and try to give an honest appraisal of the quality and value. Hope they aren't a complete waste. I'm just a little disney starved right now - my only excuse! :cool1: Also, I don't mind other's videos as I don't have a video camera anymore and the footage I shoot is mostly of feet :blush:
 
I got a little carsick watching the clips on the site. Somebody needs lessons in how to use a video camera.
 

I got mine when it went down to $99 and I was not impressed. I had read reviews of it ("this is not home movies! These are high quality blah blah") and so I was very excited to get them...until I watched a few.

They aren't awful...and some are good. It varies. Pirates of the Caribbean, for instance, is so dark you can't see anything for most of the video. Wishes looks pretty darn good and got me teary-eyed, same as it does when I am there!

What I do not like specifically is that most of them look like the guy had the video camera in a bag carried about waist high...like he took them on the sly, or more likely stuck the camera in the bag and just went walking. On the walkthroughs of the resorts, for example, you see everything as if you were about 3' tall with an occasional pan upward.

They were done with high-end consumer video editing software according to one description I read, but they didn't even make decent menus. There is no way to tell what you are watching once the DVD is in the player because what's on the DVD is printed on the outside of the DVD...on paper labels, which are not recommended for slot type DVD players as they can bubble up when they get hot and get stuck in your machine. I dare not use them on the Mac with its slot drive! The menus are very simple....an icon for Animal Kingdom but nothing to divide it further. The segments run together, and there are segments of several parks on the same DVD on a few of them so you never really know where you are. If you were not familiar with the parks you would not really know what you were watching.

When you leave one resort and go to another on the walkthroughs, a simple text overlay on the screen at least would have been helpful. It was an ambitious project but I think it could have been done much better.

You'll see a lot of feet on these too. And knees. :confused3

I watched the free previews and they look kind of cheesy. I can take my own movies. :)
