Day 323: Another Promo

The other day I found out that, if we get a second bus going, my best friend will be on the band trip to Walt Disney World. Honestly you have no idea how excited this makes me (ok, maybe she does, but you won't necessarily). But we have a number of people to get on the trip before that second bus ends up going...so I wanted to do my part in helping that happen.

You previously saw the promo video that I made for the band trip, and while I intended that to be it, when I found out that we still need like 25ish more people on the band trip before the second bus goes, I put my new plan into full action: I was going to make a second promo video. Shorter than the first but still to the point and still super exciting and high energy. I don't want anyone to miss out on this experience, even if I have my own personal doubts about my feelings toward the trip (but you already heard about that a few days ago).

So, without further ado, here's the new Promotional Video for my High School Band Trip:

It took a while to get this one done, but still no more than a few hours. I mean, plus, if I can stare at video of Disney World for like three hours I'm going to. It's work to get them done, but it's fun at the same time. My current frustration? I don't have all the different shots I want of things to make these videos. That's why it's good that I'm working on these now. It means that I have ideas in my head for the next band trip video (the Disney One), and then when I get around to making it, it will be Fantasmic (see what I did there?). 

 

It is time once again for Frumpstagram! Today's topic? Citizens of Main Street USA. Now, when I was working on finding a picture of this one I honestly got sad at how few pictures of these people I have, of any citizens of Main Street, not just the Dapper Dans. I'd go take more on my next trip but we all know how that's going to work out. Sigh...I'll just have to add it to my list of things to do on my next next trip.

Have a magical day!

Day 296: Promo Video!

I can share this on my blog now since everyone has pretty much officially seen it (at least my High School Band has all seen it as of now). I was waiting for the high school to see it before posting in on my blog. Plus now the video is finally up in 1080p. The other day when I first uploaded it, it wasn't in that HD quality yet because as fast as my internet is here at SNC, it's not that fast.

So here's what I'm talking about:

That's right, I made a promotional video for my high school band trip to Orlando and Walt Disney World. You could say I'm a bit excited. Actually, apparently I was the legitimately first person signed up to go, my brother is second. Probably because my mother went and brought in our payment before the High School even got their brochures, but you know. 

Anyway, there certainly are some favorite moments I have with this video. I mean, I love the entire thing, obviously, because I edited it all, but there are just a couple of moments that are my absolute favorite. For instance, I love the first time we see the band marching, because the steps all line up with the music. And when we're dancing in that opening section, our dance moves match the song too. Then I think it's safe to say that the next thing I adore is when we're going down Splash and it transfers into Big Thunder and such, and I love the ending with the Thrills and Classic Attractions. But my absolute favorite part is the end, when the projections on the castle match the music perfectly. Can't get much better than that if you ask me! Also, if you watch closely you may find hidden hints to Colin O'Donoghue and Harrison Ford! My two favorite actors!

Here's today's Disney History: 2011: ABC-TV premieres the fairy tale drama series Once Upon a Time. About a woman with a troubled past who is drawn into a small town in Maine where the magic and mystery of Fairy Tales parallels real life, the series stars Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, Lana Parrilla, Josh Dallas and Jared Gilmore. Created by Lost and Tron: Legacy writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, Once Upon a Time is distributed by Disney-ABC Domestic Television. (MY FAVORITE SHOW!)

Have a magical day!
