TBD-046 - Remember Dreams Come True Fireworks Spectacular

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 04:01:00 +0000

The Big D Episode 46 Remember Dreams Come True Fireworks Spectacular is one of my all time favorite fireworks shows. For those of us who have a deep connection with Disneyland it's hard not to have some nostalgia durring this show.

This episode was almost entirely shot with an HDSLR except the Big Thunder Mountain sequence as it was not part of the show at recording time. That sequence was added in using old HDV footage. It also features a live mix audio track with gives you the best of both worlds by giving you the live in park audio and studio soundtrack. Most of the Fireworks episodes feature this style of audio.

TBD_045 - Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 06:46:00 +0000

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is a new take on an old Disneyland favorite. In 1959 the Original opened and took passengers on a journey under the Arctic Ocean's polar ice cap. The Tomorrowland Attraction stayed open until 1998 but sat dormant until 2005 when construction began for the re-imagneered version showcasing the Pixar Movie Finding Nemo.

In this episode we board the submarine and help Marlin find his son Nemo and experience all the adventures along the way.

All of the attraction footage was shot using:

Canon T2i DSLR
Tamron F2.8 17-55 Lens
Edited with Final Cut Pro

TBD 2010 Preview

Wed, 19 May 2010 05:15:00 +0000

A montage of shots taken during The Disney Podcast Network's Westfest at Disneyland this past May.

As The Big D podcast turned 4 this year it was time for new camera gear. Since HDSLR video is all the craze I figured I might was well jump on the bandwagon.

This serves as a bit of a preview of whats to come int he near future so hopefully this will show that The Big D is not going any ware and will continue to produce some fine video of the Disney Parks for the foreseeable future.

TBD 044 - Sleeping Beauty Castle

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 06:18:00 +0000

Recently Sleeping Beauty's Castle was re-opened to the public with newly updated dioramas and magical enhancements from the original that opened 1957. It's great to have this walkthrough attraction back! As a child I have many fond memories of being able to go up and through the Castle. While it is clear that this is not an E-ticket it has the charm and the magic that makes Disneyland so special.

TBD 043 - Christmas Ambiance

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 05:28:00 +0000

In 2008 I was in Disney World and captured some of the night time Christmas extras that the resort puts on display. For me these are some of the great times I reflect back on when I need an escape to the Parks. This year I was unable to join my friends attending the DPN World Holiday events but putting this help with managing the disappointmentdisapointment of missing the event.

I hope this Episode will help those of us that wished we were in the parks during the holidays and helps those who have just been reflect on the great times they had.

TBD 042 - Parade of Dreams

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:26:00 +0000

The Parade of Dreams was Disneyland's 50th Celebration Parade. This Episode was recorded about a month before the parade finished it's run. As parades go it was a pretty decent parade and I am not a huge fan of parades.

I hope you enjoy this episode!

Haunted Mansion Holiday is the yearly overlay of Tim Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas on Disneyland's Haunted Mansion.

This Imagineering master piece creates a great experience in both Halloween and Christmas celebrations. Enjoy the attraction!

TBD_037 - Wishes from the Poly

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 04:41:00 +0000

Grab a Lapu Lapu and pull up a deck chair or chill in a hammock and enjoy the Fireworks Spectacle over the Magic Kingdom from you front row seat.

One of the most relaxing and enjoyable ways to watch the fireworks at WDW is from the Beach at Disney's Polynesian Resort located across the lake of the seven Seas Lagoon. I highly recommend it!

As an added bonus the Electrical Water Pageant started just as the fireworks began. Unfortunately the sound system was experiencing technical difficulties so the water pageant audio is unavailable but a special studio live mix will keep time with the spectacle.

Enjoy

TBD_032 - Wet'n Wild at Kali River Rapids

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 04:23:00 +0000

This is a first for the Big D podcast, fan submitted footage. I would like to thank Matty and Lesley for sharing this footage of there recent WDW vacation. I have gone slightly away from the standard format on this one but I think it produced fantastic results by combining both Matty's and my footage.

Kali River Rapids is a large inner tube river ride were you go careening down the river through the jungles of Asia and see some of the detestation and havoc logging can cause when care is not taken. There are some unexpected events in this footage and some great vista's of Expedition Everest along the way. I hope you will enojoy the Big D's first look at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 19:12:00 +0000

Happy New Year!

This time we go to Disney's California Adventure in the Animation Building Montage. This is a fantastic time to just relax get out of the sun and the heat on a warm day and enjoy a montage from the Disney Cannon of feature animation films.

This in my opinion is a hidden treasure of the park. It is amazing to have movie screens surrounding you in this expansive room filled with stills concept art and clips from the film. The audio will just grip your emotions and sweep you into each film.

Pull up a seat and enjoy the Animation Building Montage.

WED (Imaginering) created the WEDway People Mover with a smoother Ride mechanism. This was to provide Commuters a method to travel from there place of residence into the city center and back. This truly is one of the must do experiences in Disney World with any luck Disneyland will resurrect the original from Yesterland.

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 01:08:00 +0000

Walt Disney's private Club 33.

Unfortunately Walt was unable to see the opening of this club but his presence can be felt. When you get a bunch of podcasters together it's hard to get them to settle down and be quiet, but when we moved upstairs we all started to whisper and show our respect for the place we were in. Thanks again to JohnDub who pulled some major strings and got us into the the club.

In this episode you will get to stand in the streets waiting to get into the club, stand in the lobby, wander through the club. One of the Hostesses gives the introduction to the club and then you see the park from the balcony's of the club for a unique view of the park.

Basically if you were at WF'07 you are probably present in the video in some fashion. so keep a weather eye out mate.
