No, nothing so sophisticated. The whole thing was shot with a Sony pocket digital camera and edited with Roxio media creator. Still images were made with paintshop-pro.
I'm currently working on installing a camera to the car so you can watch the journey ofyour Mono remotely on your TV, but from the view of the pilot (if he was an inch and a half tall!) Lucas has nothing on you but a budget...
I installed a motor that puts out more than double the rpm's and it runs more than twice as fast with no physical changes to it. Motor is even the same company, took me months to find the exact model (and a Japanese translator website!) It runs perfectly and looks so much better scale to speed ratio.
I am doing refurbishment on my own monorail playsets which includes replacing the motors. Can you tell me what company makes the motors for the monorail playset? I would also appreciate it if you also told me the Japanese translator website also.
Hi, I send many folks to this video. Don't know if you still have a passion for Disney Monos, but I thought you'd like to know I actually achieved this (faster Disney Monorails).
This is the kind of movie that comes along once in a weekend. A harrowing, nail-nibbling, single-rail, emotional roller-coaster ride for the whole family. I wept.
P.S. Great to see Chewbacca out of rehab and working again. He's still got it!
Working with Chewbacca was one of true pleasures making this film. His range is amazing. I wish you could see the antics that went on "behind the scenes"! Chewbacca is such a kidder and so humble for doing such a low budget film.
Could have done without the goofy outfits and the gorilla... But I will say this is a pretty well done film and should be looked to as an example of what can and in my opinino, should be done on YouTube...
ahaha nice man! i want some doubble tracks and switch beams! i onlyhave 3 trains. red blue and gold. redsthe fastest. it goes around my room them up on to my mantel.
Wow wee wow wow! That was the most gripping film about monorails I've ever seen! And amazing attention to detail! As a former WDW costumer, I can tell you that that hat is the real deal. All monorail operators serving more than 10 years are required to wear it on the job AND at home.
Seriously, enjoyed the film, but am also a little worried that Paul might be taken out by Disney Intellectual Property hitmen. Lay low for a while, please.
They're a dream now. I try to avoid dialog because my little digital camera barely has a microphone. It will record a photographers breathing reasonably well but little else. Thanks!
WoW !!!! Awsome vid !!!! You have six of them..including two DisneyLand Mk 5 monorails..Monorail Blue and Silver, where did you get those ? I also just ordered the Contemperory resort accessory on ebay. I'm watching a black and red monorail on ebay
Thanks. There are six. One Disneyland. Five Disney world. Two are modified to have six cars and two motors. (Red and Gold) The others are the original five car monorails (Yellow, Black and the new blue one.) I never did get a purple one. They still sell the Contemporary hotel for forty dollars. Don't pay too much. I might take a break from monorail movies for a little while.
only 40, I paid, 63 $ for it..where did you get the Disneyland one?, I saw that same color one only once on another site..did they make any other Disneyland Monorails though ? Where did you get the extra cars for Gold and Red ? When I get the contemparary then I'll make more vids again..
They're made from combined parts from some damaged ones I bought on ebay. There was a short Disneyland set sold for a short time. It only included the front and back cabs. I got my Disneyland monorail at Disneyland. There were two all-chrome Disneyworld versions sold during a Disneyana convention. They're a bit expensive for chrome paint. They show up on ebay occasionally.
One time I saw a Red monorail on ebay that had no front car. I know there was the DisneyLand mini peir set, that was the one with the front and back..Did the DisneyLand Monorail come in any other colors or was it just blue ?
Where did you get the double track adapters and the graduated track?
