Well, you're right about one thing: it did kick your ass!

LOL, oh yeah! Totally missed this rule: I'll do that then. Thanks!

Number 1 for me was the Wacky Soap Box Derby Racers when I was five... I think. I really don't know the age.

Some people would still count it as a credit though! (not anyone here)

Woohoo!! Another contest!! I have on question, and I generally have a feeling that the answer is "no," but I thought I'd run it by just in case. On a trip to the DLR last December, I was able to borrow a friend's camcorder and shoot some footage, and I made a sort of "two-in-one" video of DCA and Disneyland that used two different songs that led into each other. Thus, the video, which is basically two segments, has each segment lead into each other. However, the total length puts it at like 8:30, which is about three and a half minutes too long according to the specification. However, since I kind of consider it to be one vid, I was wondering if you could make an exception for me. It's just a request, and I don't expect an assent, but I figured asking was better than nothing. If the above request is denied, does that mean I have to do a quick re-edit and send only the half that I want submitted myself, or can I send you the full 8min 30sec file, specify that you use the DCA portion, and you guys can edit it out for me? Basically, do I need to trim my video or can you? In either case, I'll be mailing the file on a DVD, with the file in DV avi format. Unless you can suggest a program that can encode my video onto a DVD that's viewable on a television. Thanks!

Whoa, pretty neat! I was all thinking why does a Rocket Coaster have that track, then I reread and realized it's an S&S design. Still hard to picture a fast launched coaster with that sort of track!

On that same note, what camera are you guys currently using at the moment? I remember like a year or two ago, it was something like a Sony TRC-19 or something with a 19 in it. MiniDV cam, of course, but I also recall you saying that you go through cams once a year or more frequently. I noticed that the video in your 2003 video was pretty darn crisp and vivid, and of course, your Japan-A-Mania has some nice dark lighting vid as well. So just wondering what specific model you're using, since I think I'll have enough money to get a camcorder this year. Similarly, I'm looking for a not-too-expensive (probably $600 tops) camera with good color quality, good night shot modes (preferably without requiring an actual lamp), and quick focus and dark to light transition speeds. Thanks! Oh, one other slightly related question: my friend insists that you guys color correct your videos or use some sort of filter, hence the gorgeous colors on some of your stuff. Is this true? I personally would say now, since you've always maintained that your stuff is "low tech," but I was curious. EDIT: Nevermind. You posted the answer to what camera you're using in the other Camera thread.

At last! A place to show all of it! You should also link that in the signature of every forum where you post.

Wow! That is one awesome trailer! Hopefully, Disneyland can get something nice and exciting like that, even if it's just a random visualization that shows nothing from the actual ride. Gets me exciting just watching it. On the other hand, maybe they'll just use the same trailer and change the words!

Whoa, awesomeness!!! I love that pic of the track ending and "sending the train into the benches. Like something out of RCT 3.

^ Yes. That's exactly it. A rather easy factor job if you ask me.

Hahaha! You're actually on imdb? Wow. They certain go all out to include everything. So Elissa... where do YOU work?
