Disneyland Christmas 2011 Time-Lapse Video

[WDWFigment]

I have two fun things for you. First, a time-lapse video that I shot over the span of a couple days last month in Disneyland and Disney California Adventure! And under that, some very exciting news about my new Disneyland Christmas eBook!

I also just published a new book for the holidays titled A Disneyland Christmas an eBook with 170+ photos, with half the proceeds to benefit Toys for Tots.

The book is currently just $3.99, FREE if you've got Amazon Prime. I hope you'll give it a look: A Disneyland Christmas

Enjoy!

Awesome, and fantastic choice in music!

Outstaning job on this Tom. I especially love the wet streets at night, the fireworks, and your wave goodbye right at the end. It must have taken quite a bit of fortitude both to shoot that while you were out here and then to edit it at home. Well done!

The real "fortitude" was actually in the wave goodbye. Since it's a time lapse, that involved me standing relatively still and moving my hand back and forth in short intervals...while 6 security guards watched, likely wondering what on earth I was doing!

I assume you recognize that music as being from ____________________ in Disneyland?

Out of curiosity, is there interest in a stand-alone World of Color time-lapse? I shot the entire show as a time lapse, but only the Prep & Landing tag is in the video.

Great video! Thanks for posting your video.

^Glad you both enjoyed it--it was a lot of fun to make!

That was great! Thanks for your hard work.

That was great! Thanks for your hard work.

Glad you enjoyed it. It really wasn't THAT much work. On my way out of the park on the last day, I saw David Roark (Disney's photographer who made the tilt-shift time lapse videos) and he had been photographing the same clock on Main Street for over four hours. That will end up being only a few second scene in his next video. I spent LESS time than that TOTAL on my entire video.

Granted, his video will end up being better than mine, but I don't get paid for this, so I'm not spending weeks making a time lapse video! I'll take lesser quality and efficiency since I'm not being paid!

Great video! You have an eye for interesting angles and compositions!

Btw, totally random, but I was going to say "why is there a splotch of grey on the opening titles?" and then I realized that it's a little bit of an odd scratch on my monitor.
