awesome

Thank you!

Hi Van? You aksed others favorite part, and I simply found the whole thing done with a mastery of the media- but there was one part that really showed a spark of genius and that was the cut on TT from track to exterior view- brilliant!

If you're looking for Netcot's Van, I'm not him. Even so, Van would be pleased that this video is 100% Gary Sinise free! During the design process, the musical phrasing aligned with Test Track, but I needed a way to close out that scene. So I thought about the sensory experience of walking out of the post show and thought of the TT vehicle overhead but more about to the sound it makes!

Thanks again for such encouraging feedback!

That's good! Thinking now instead of doing my own, I can just refer people here...

[vanomedia]

I'm honored that you approved of "A World of Wonders" enough to consider doing that. Thanks!

If you are so inclinde to create your own video along these lines, go for it! I had a great time planning, collecting content for, and composing this video, so, to me, it's as much about the journey as the end result. Either way, have fun!

Thank you for such supportive feedback! It has been a pleasure sharing this production with you and everyone else in the EarsToEars Yahoo group!

I ended up selecting Festive Overture originally because the piece seemed to emphasize broad themes that Epcot presented. Future World, World Showcase, and IllumiNations all needed to have their place. Once the music, themes, narrative of a day at the park started to converge, I had a sense that this would be a decent production.

Thanks again

Absolutely brilliant! The music & pacing were perfection! Thanks for sharing the link with the EarsToEars Yahoo group. I'll save it to My Favorites so I can have my Disney fix until we return next year. =^..^=

Your favorite aspect of the video was one of challenges I was looking forward to in shooting the stills and video for this production. There are so many common views of Epcots pavilions that I was hoping to capture something a little more. I had a great time exploring so many of these details.

As you ponder your trip over your 100th consecutive PB&J ;-) , what do you think youll explore on your next trip that will create new experiences and redefine your perceptions of Epcot?

I was thinking maybe we could skip a 2010 trip to save money, but after watching your video I think we'll be eating lots of PB & Js! My favorite parts were the shot angles. Looking at the builidings from different perspectives!
