Disneyland DVDs by RU42 Video Productions

Welcome to the Official Site for RU42 Video productions!

I think you will find my DVD creations some of the best available anywhere. That may be a very bold statement to make. But I think I can back it up by telling you why I think my DVDs are so special. The simple answer is quality.

These videos are not simply point and film videos. I create these videos by shooting each attraction/show multiple times and then edit them together into a single, thought out, complete, focused, representation. There is no way a single capture (point and film) presentation can capture all of the magic of a show or attraction. On top of great picture quality, which many times will show you things you never knew existed, you get top notch sound. You will see the rides just as if you were in the Park -queue and all. You will enjoy these DVDs, I guarantee it.

Why do I make these videos? Because Disney Magic is very special. It can lift you, even for a short time, above circumstance and transport you to what can be. The 'can be' attitude was demonstrated by Walt Disney himself in the creation of the Park. My goal is to capture, preserve, and share the Park with you right where you live.

Thank you for visiting this site. Hopefully you will find everything you need. If you have any question please feel free to contact me. My DVDs fall into 2 main categories; Disneyland Resort Anaheim and Walt Disney World Florida. Click on any DVD cover below to find out more information about that DVD! To puchase some DVDs click here. At the bottom of this page you will find news and information on my productions and upcoming productions.

So, what are my plans for the future? I am always working on more DVD creations. I do not have timelines until a project actually begins - and even then it is hard to estimate when it will be finished.

If you are not on my e-mail list, please send me an e-mail to ru42@cox.net and I can add you to my mailings. Mailings go out when ever there is something of importance - like a new DVD or specials on my DVDs. Only people on my e-mail list get information about my specials.

So, on the drawing board:

Disneyland new New Orleans Square (COMPLETED)
Disneyland Main Street USA (estimated completion Fall 08)
Disney's California Adventure (COMPLETED)
Magic Kingdom Tomorrowland (estimated completion Summer 08)

Do you have any Disneyland or Walt Disney World recordings. I am looking for past Disney Attractions and Shows. You footage can be on any of the following formats:

8mm film
Super 8 film
VHS cassette
8mm cassette
Mini VHS (VHS-C) cassette
Mini DV
DVD

I am looking for anything of Disney's great past - rides, shows. attractions, exhibits, parades, fireworks - anything. I am especially looking for the following:

Disneyland Adventure Thru Inner Space
Disneyland America Sings
Disneyland Nature Wonderland
Disneyland Light Magic
Disneyland - any stage shoe (Pocahontas, Dick Tracy, Animazement, etc)

WDW Epcot past rides (Kitchen Kaberet, World of Motion, Horizons, Walter Cronkite Spaceship Earth

Really, my list is endless. If you think you have something that I could use, please send me an e-mail to ru42@cox.net. I would like to discuss it with you. I will make it worth your while!

The boring but necessary stuff:

All my captures are recorded by myself and recorded on attractions/shows that Disney allows video recording. I do not use Disney copyrighted video or record on rides where it is prohibited.

Unless otherwise noted, my prosumer recordings are captured digitally from multiple rides/locations. I record the attraction/show completely – from queue to exit. I usually throw in some extras for the fun of it.

I shoot with the mindset 'what will look good on tape .' Multiple rides are needed so that I can capture an entire segment, even if in the actual riding you might only see a portion. So, this is more then watching a video of a ride with the camera turned on at the beginning and turned off at the end – it is enhanced and edited using professional software.

All DVDs are Region 0 (playable worldwide.) I can create the final product using either –R or +R DVDs. If you have a preference please let me know when you win an auction. This is true DVD, not VCD or SVCD recordings.

Depending on what you are buying, these souvenir productions were shot at Disneyland, Disney's California Adventure, The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, The Disney-MGM Studios, or Disney's Animal Kingdom. I have not been to Disneyland Paris or Tokyo - - - yet.

And some other stuff:

Do you have Disney memories on VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, or MiniDV and would like them transferred to DVD, please drop me a note – I can provide that service too. If you have 'complete' ride videos there might be no fee involved with the transfer!

This note is from someone who has purchased many online DVDs: Not a question, just a comment. We just watched this DVD and I wanted to thank you personally for your efforts in creating it. It's the absolute pinnacle; the best I've ever seen. I have proabably 200 hours of ride-thru's which I've made and which I've purchased from others. You are a very skilled and patient artist and I wish to congratulate you. I'm a Disney historian and archivist and I KNOW Walt would be just as pleased as I am. I'll be buying more of your great work very soon. Thank you again!

From a former Cast Member I received this: The quality of the DVD is fantastic. The visuals and the sound are superb. What absolutely amazed me was that I ordered it on a holiday weekend and still had it on the following Monday. That was absolutely incredible.

A word about the quality: I just had to email you about this DVD.. I've edited movies for both myself and others, and I can tell you've spent a substantial amount of time and energy in making these.. I watched the whole thing with a huge smile on my face, and then started it over and watched it again. Unbelievable!! Amazing!! Anyone who's been on these rides, or experienced the park would instantly love your dvd's. Thanks for making my day with such a great memento from such a great place.

Opening up the eyes to a whole new world: Last night I was finally able to watch the first one which was the Fantasyland DVD. It was just wonderful, and I was so pleased that I was crying!!! I couldn't believe how beautifully detailed, colorful, professional and yet so personal it was. I really felt that I was on the tour and rides right along with you. Since I've only been to Walt Disney World and not to Disneyland, this DVD was such a beautiful window into this place that I've always wanted to go. I can't wait to continue the visit!!!

I guess I am doing something right if people want to adopt me: My Daughter asked if we could make you part of the family because you take better video of Disneyland than we do! We were there last Christmas day (and few before that) and we were shocked how crowded it was. We did not get much video and pictures so it is great to have your video to remind us of our Christmas visit. We are definitely looking in to ordering more of your stuff.

One of the most touching comments I have received is this: My daughter can't get to Disney parks due to her health, she is having so much fun watching the one's that I have bought from you. She says it's just like being there. Thanks so much for bringing so much happiness and joy to a child who never complains or moans and groans about anything.

This 2 Disk Set will become a collector's edition because Disney's California Adventure is about to undergo some massive changes. Opened in 2001 and added to in 2003; this footage shot in 2007/08 will capture the original Disney's California Adventure.

This video is beyond just ride but is more or a apecial tour. Many rides do not permit video taping but I didn't want you to miss out on them so I included snippets from those rides. I included the snippets to document what the Park was like, to enable you to remember your visit to the Park, and/or allow you to see the entire Park before your vist.
