Video Trip Report!

[universal_fanatic]

I just finished editing footage from my latest trip to Universal (October 2014)
This video features our first look at Diagon Alley in person and then continues around the two parks and ends with a bit of HHN 24.
Hope you guys enjoy opcorn:

Shaun, this is a great video!

I've been wanting to edit my footage into something like this. My old Macbook just isn't up to it anymore!

 

[Disneyhead]

Wow, great shooting and editing! You got a lot of great shots.

Great video!

What slide is that at 3:46?

Great video! Really smart way to capture Dr. Doom video, I may have to try that.

Wow, that is right up there with the recently released UOR promo video! If UOR marketing sees that I would bet they would ask to use it to show their twitter followers.

BTW, is the the rubber raft slide in Kidzone? I had never seen it before.

Thanks everyone! I'm overwhelmed by your support since I wasn't even going to make a video until a friend convinced me that I had a lot to work with! Once I took a look at the footage I realized I might be able to make something half decent so I'm glad everyone enjoys it :clap:
I really wish I could bring my real set of gear into the parks and capture an even better video!

PS Disneyhead thanks, that means a lot coming from someone who does this for a living!

Last shot is pure genius!

 

[universal_fanatic]

Haha thanks, we couldn't believe it but she just drove right through our picture even though there was room behind us.

Just watched this a second time. This video is so excellent that you even made Sinbad look good. That's the height of creativity.

This was an absolutely amazing video!! Very well done!!! I would bet if you threw on a few Universal logos and some small text at the end people wouldn't know the difference between the official promos and it.

One question what cameras were you using in the ride segments. Every time I ask to wear my GoPro they tell me no, so I barely ever bring it anymore (much to the dismay of the wife).

 

[universal_fanatic]

Thanks Mr. Roamer!
Everything was shot with my Panasonic GH4 except for one shot of Dr. Doom (iPhone 5 placed on the ground) and the short clip from MIB.
I've always wanted to buy a chest harness and wear the GoPro on the rides, but I wasn't sure what UOR's policy was for body mounted cameras.

 

[MrRoamer]

Thanks! From my attempts with the chest harness they have all been a resounding no. My next steps are getting one of the new PivotHeads (maybe two one with clear lenses) or a stylish vest with a convenient "missing button"
