DisneyLand

On Monday we are going to be at Disneyland. WoHoo! I can hear the jealous comments now. It's going to be awesome!

In order to get Audrey excited about Disneyland, Patrick was looking for home movies that other people have posted on youtube and Vimeo. In his search he came across these awesome videos.

This is what Jeff Allen, the poster, says about the videos.

Shot by my grandfather on his Bell & Howell Filmo using 16mm Kodachrome film stock. This footage was taken a year after the California theme park opened.

It was quite a surprise going through this and seeing my grandmother meeting Walt Disney himself! I've been doing my best to find out what they were shooting at the front of the park. So far I've been unsuccessful.

Transferred to HD (1080PsF 23.98) myself off a Spirit and Color Corrected using a da Vinci 2k Plus. Slowed to 18fps to match the original film speed.

Seriously, how cool is it that they actually met Walt Disney outside the gates of the park.

I Love It!
