This is really excellent. That shot of them leaving the castle is so kick-ass, it feels too cool to have happened in real life. And lifting the sword!!

Here’s the video that I directed and DigiSynd produced for the opening of Star Tours at Disneyland.  

A fantastic group of incredibly talented people made this video possible, and I am extremely proud of them and grateful to have been able work with them / be part of this project.

Cinematography, editing and visual effects by James Codeglia.  Visual effects and assistant direction by Dave Codeglia.  Camera assistance, expert focus-pulling and production support by Brad Conlin.  Music composed by Alfred Montejano.  End titles by Whit Scheidegger.  Assistant direction and production support by Zadi Diaz.  Disneyland management and production support by Thomas Wadsworth.       

I had such a great time on this shoot. It’s nice to be able to say, “…like that time that we shot Vader in Haunted Mansion.”

Remember when Matt directed Darth Vader? At DISNEYLAND?! This was that time. 

Also, when Vader has that Mickey Mouse balloon… fantastic.
