Great Movie Ride
No, it’s not the third movie in the Night at the Museum series staring Ben Stiller, but it seems like it could be. The Night at the Great Movie Ride trailer is a well produced parody by some talented Disney World cast members.
Each year around Labor Day, Disney arranges a get-together for The Great Movie Ride cast members. The event highlights those who’ve gone above and beyond in their duties and is also a chance for cast members to show off skits they’ve put together.
James Hermle had helped his co-workers with their annual skits in the past but he wanted to do his own while also raising the bar. Now all he needed was an idea. “I was sweeping up around the ride one night before closing and noticed a few of the animatronics slightly moving,” said James. “They do that because the safety valve and air pressure lets their arms drop a bit and then adjusts back to normal when not in use. But imagine walking by one of them in total silence and seeing them move slightly. It can be a very eerie experience.”
After he had the idea, James spent the next few months learning everything he could about cinematography, making props and costumes and getting used to his new camera. Finally ready to start shooting, James got management’s approval, enlisted some cast members and scheduled time to shoot in the attraction after hours. Five months later, the trailer was finished.
