A Day At Epcot In Tilt-Shift Video

Video by Disney Parks on the Disney Parks Blog

Similar to the video created for Disney World's Magic Kingdom, this Day at Epcot used Tilt-Shift Photography to create the miniature looking effect.  This is video of the real Epcot, it just looks different due to the unique filming techique.

The real challenge for this video came with the filming of the Illuminations fireworks show that occurs each night at Epcot.  To capture the fireworks they filmed at a rate of 1 frame per second and the result is magnificent.

Hats off to David Roark, manager of creative photography for Yellow Shoes Creative Group, who was able to figure out how capture the fireworks.

The video does a great job of capturing the key elements of a day at Epcot.  It starts with people entering the park and views of the Monorail bringing people to the park. 

The first attraction of the day is the Land Pavilion. Ride "Living With The Land", and then head to the Living Seas with Nemo and Friends and watch Scuba Divers in the tanks. Don't miss Mickey Mouse himself scuba diving.  Then it off to race around Test Track, Epcot's high speed thrill ride.  The visit to Epcot's Future World concludes with a walk by The Universe of Energy, home to Ellen's Energy Adventure.

The next part of the day is spent exploring the Epcot's World Showcase.  Travel through Canada, window shop in Great Britain, then catch a Mariachi Band playing in Mexico.

Next its time to wach the Dragon Legend Acrobats in China and then take a relaxing cruise across the World Showcase Lagoon.  The busy can continues in Germany, watching a Belly Dancer and Mo 'Rockin perform in Morocco, and then visiting Japan.

Your trip around the World showcase continues by seeing the Fife & Drum Corp perform in America, stroll through Italy, and shopping in France.

As night time approaches you go back to Future World to ride Mission Space and then get settled in to watch the Amazing Illuminations: Reflections of Earth Fireworks Show.

A wonderful day spend at Epcot.
