Disney Park HDSLR Videos
Thursday, July 15, 2010 at 11:57PM I have found some more great Disney Park videos shot with HDSLR cameras. The first video is comprised of all shots moving sideways. I think it gives an interesting perspective of the park. While I think a background music track would have helped the end product I am not sure if it would have had the genuine feel with out the actual sounds of the park.

Next up is a special piece, a friend documented a woman and her son's day a Disneyland and brought it all together with some great instrumental music and a great color treatment. After watching this a few times it really makes a person wish that some could have done this through out life and all those extra special times at the parks. you would have this little souvenir that is better than anything you could buy in the emporium. Albert is a lucky boy to have this gift from his mom's friend!

Music can make or break a video and this is a perfect example of how this can be true. The camera work on Sister Winter is not the best, and can be almost terrible. Now I have lots of footage that hits the cutting room floor ( and probably a lot more that should have ) but where the footage fails, the music choice and then time in the edit suite picks up makes up for it all. Saying all that there are fragments of moments when the composition and adjustments produce great results.
I do have personal experience with the kind of manual adjustments these HDSLR cameras require doing video and during the odd lighting conditions that occur on Mainstreet plus all shot all on the move with no stabilization gear I think the end end result is pretty fiar. I recognize the artistic look the shooter was trying to achieve and I can't say I would have done much better. I do like the use of depth of field and the bokeh effect of the out of focus lights and in the end I think most will enjoy this video.

The beginning of the following video has not much to do with Disney but is a story of how a young couple pick their wedding location. this is where the Disney tie in comes in as they choose WDW. This is ends up being a new type of wedding invitation and the last portion is filmed in Magic Kingdom. This was shot by a professional and clearly has a grasp on how to use the tools of the trade. I really have to find out what stabilizer was used and wether they had to get special permission to use it in the parks!
