How/where did you get the shot on Splash at :24?

I would guess as they were going up the lift hill with the owls. You can see the people coming down in the boat. Also if the boat comes down just right while you're going up you get splashed.

That was a neat video

Thanks for sharing. We leave 2 weeks from tomorrow for our first family trip to Disneyland and San Diego.

...then nothing will...

I shot this last year and just watched it again today to get stoked for our return trip this August. Can. Not. Wait.

I love it! Thank you!

Hope you have an amazing trip next month. Looking forward to your next video!

Great video!
Did you know the man who looked liked he wanted a bite of the beignet?

We didn't. Totally photo bombed us!

Do you edit videos for a living? This looks better than some of the Disney commercials I've seen! Totally makes me want to go back 1 last time before my pass expires.

Thanks! No, just a hobby. I started taking video of our trips about 10 years ago and have kinda honed my look a little more each time. This one was entirely shot on an iPhone and edited with iMovie. Anyone could do it, really

Great video! I was going to ask what you shot it on; that's a great advertisement for the iphone 6! How/where did you get the shot on Splash at :24?

I also enjoyed the video that followed!

Got that shot while we were on the ride, but I can't remember exactly where. I think it was just going around the bend towards the first drop. I will say that the waterproof case for the phone helped on the water rides. Other than that, it was just the iPhone slow motion and some simple editing in iMovie.

Would love to see some other videos on this thread too, from those of you who take video of your trips!

Great video ! Thanks for sharing !
We'll be there in 22 days

You've inspired me try to do a video. Any tips or tricks, advice on what not to do ?
Thanks again for sharing. Your video looks very professional.

Can you tell me what waterproof case you used ?
Thanks

If you have an iPhone 6, I would recommend shooting everything in slow motion. The beauty of slow motion is that you get so much more footage to choose from. Ten seconds of filming in slow motion equals...I actually don't know what it equals but it's a whole lot more The point is, when you edit it later, you can get that perfect five seconds of footage that makes your video shine.

Having a waterproof case is a must. It doesn't need to be submergible, but you want something that will protect your phone from splashes. That's how you'll get all those action shots on water rides.

Lastly, this is maybe my 8th video I've shot from Disneyland in the last 10 years. My first few videos sucked but gradually got better. Just keep practicing and have fun with it! You'll get better as time goes on and will figure out what works best for you. Besides, you get to take multiple trips to the park by practicing anyway

Good luck! And please share what you make if you decide to shoot a video!

I used this one--and you can't beat the price for how well it works!
