mikeymyk, that was without a doubt one of my favorite "home" Disney video's I've ever seen. Completely different from the norm and as MarltonMom said, well thought out and well executed.
I particularly enjoyed the music. It was the right pace or "energy" for the video and I appreciated that it WASN'T a Disney track. People tend to get caught up in music that they know and as a result, don't spend as much time on the focusing on the video that you're trying to showcase. I operate a haunted attraction and it's that exact reason that I don't use audio tracks that really anyone outside of the haunt industry knows. If I used audio that people knew, they would spend time focusing on that instead of focusing on getting scared. Likewise, with no audio, it's too quiet. You did it just right IMO.
I have some constructive criticism if you're willing to hear it. In both of the castle shots (@ 1:26 and 3:29), the castle isn't square with the frame, IE the castle is tilted (quite severely in the section starting @ 3:29). This is hugely distracting to me and I spend more time thinking "Why isn't the frame squared?" than "man, that's really cool!" Since they were all shot on a tripod, a quick batch crop could have quickly straightened them up.
Also, you have a few sections of the video that can get kind of boring, quickly. Things like the turnstyles, the first Spaceship Earth portion, Aerosmith, D-Street, etc. There isn't any major focus points, just lots of people quickly entering and exiting the frame. Since you can't really focus on anything other than static portions of the frame that don't move, like the D-Street sign for example, it's just kind of "meh". For example in the Dumbo section, you see people get on, you can watch a large focal point of the frame (the actual Dumbo ride) move and operate, watch people get off of the ride, etc. It's visually stimulating. The same goes with the parade, electric lights, etc. Lots of large moving objects that are a true focal point, the people in and out of those frames are just kind of like background noise; they need to be there but they aren't what you're trying to highlight.
IMHO, if you want to do shots like that, where it's nothing but people, I think spreading the lapse out over a much longer period of time might have a better effect. Over say, 8 hours, the lighting changes, the crowds change, the shadows from the sun change. I know that sitting in one spot for 8 hours for ~30 seconds worth of video isn't the most exciting thing, but I'm just offering suggestions.
Between the tilted castle and some slightly less exciting footage, those are my only 2 criticisms for the video.
I LOVED the wide shot of the fireworks @ 4:39. I have never seen a vantage point like that and it was just amazing. Where was that shot from? I'm guessing the Contemporary? Unless Disney has changed their show drastically since I was there last, I never noticed that they launch from multiple locations like that. Like I said, I really loved that part.
Also, what's the balloon at DTD all about? I don't recall that from prior trips (it will have been 6 years since I was there last). Thank god we're going back in March!
And for curiosity sake, how many total frames did it take to compile the video?
Again, great job! This is something I'm sure I'll watch over and over every now and then. I've already posted it to my Facebook feed for my friends to see.
