Film Fest Saturday - 4960

Today's film is 4960, a film focusing on two people trying to contact each other between "point A and point B".



A bit different from the normal pace of films I feature here, but well-done nevertheless.

Okay, this is my last post for approximately a week. All next week I'll be on vacation, so don't expect anything until at least next Saturday.

Have a good week, everyone!

PhotoBlog - Disneyland Edition!

It's been a while since I've done one of these, so I'm providing this nifty update, full of pics from the Disneyland Resort! Since I've been trying to get this up for a while, I'm actually going to delay Film Fest Friday in order to get this up. I apologize for any inconvenience.





I love all the details at Disneyland, including this piece of machinery in the line for Big Thunder Mountain.


The Astro Orbitor allows for a multitude of photographic possibilities!


The composition isn't the best, but I still love the way the colors turned out in this shot.


Every summer, Disneyland features their own All-American College Band. They're really amazing!


New Orleans Square is lovely at night.


Disneyland in general is amazing in the evening, actually.


I'm not entirely satisfied with this picture, but it looks pretty good so I'm posting it anyway.

I love the lights of Paradise Pier.


A nice castle shot.


And finally, the man and the mouse.

Okay, I'm done for now. 'Bye all!

Happy Birthday to the Happiest Place on Earth

Today, July 17th, marks exactly 53 years of operation for Disneyland Park here in California. It's amazing how that incredible place has been transformed over the years, from adding new rides to updating old facades, and even adding a whole new theme park! Yet behind all the changes is the same park, still holding many of the same attractions that so many individuals have enjoyed and treasured for many, many years. Disneyland certainly has had an impact on our culture, particularly here in Southern California. And I must say it is a definite honor to be a part of it as a cast member.

For those interested, a small article was published today highlighting aerial views of Disneyland from a 1956 promotional film.
Link here.

And finally, keep an eye out for a Disneyland PhotoBlog in the next few days.

Okay, that should do it!

The YouTube Screening Room

Big news! YouTube has recently released the YouTube Screening Room, a special section of the site that allows short films to be posted and reviewed by YouTube users. Reaching an audience is one of the hardest parts of filmmaking, and now YouTube is allowing it to be done. I personally am excited to see what short films might appear here, and look forward to what it may grow into.

Film Fest Friday - Wrong Side of the Bed

It's Film Fest Friday! Today, we'll see what happens to someone who gets up on the wrong side of the bed and, as a result, continues to have terrible luck. Will he be doomed to continually suffer?



Simple short, but amusing. I must say I enjoyed the ending.
Look for a PhotoBlog coming soon!

Behind the Scenes of the Disneyland Fireworks

June 30th marked one full month of my employment at the Disneyland Resort, and I must say I've quite enjoyed my time there so far. It's been great spending so much time in the park both in the roles of a cast member and a guest. There are so many things I enjoy about being there, from helping guests have a wonderful day to making sure everything runs smoothly, and even watching fireworks while I work!

Prior to the beginning of my time here at Disneyland, I actually hadn't taken the time to enjoy the park's nightly show "Remember... Dreams Come True". However, I've recently been scheduled for many night shifts and have been able to enjoy the show's lights and music on a regular basis. It was wonderful the first time I saw it, and it only gets better and better with each viewing. Thus, with my interest sparked in Disneyland's pyrotechnic efforts, I was pleased to find this video earlier this morning, highlighting some of the behind-the-scenes processes of Disneyland's nightly show in the sky.



That video was only a small sample of the amazing show that goes on over Disneyland every night. If you haven't seen the show yet, I highly encourage you to do so. And be sure to keep an eye out for me, okay?

Film Fest Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July everyone! In honor of our great nation of America, I've posted a classic Bugs Bunny cartoon highlighting America's favorite pastime: baseball! In this short, Bugs takes on the meanest, roughest team in the major leagues all by himself! Can he defeat them? Watch and see!



That's all folks! Thanks for watching, and God bless America!
