I'm thinking it won't be much.

Good question. I guess the best thing to say is what disney does not know can't hurt it. I am not really planing to seek permission from disneyland or disney, way to much red tape. If I end up taking the more pro gear such as a sound sync 16mm camera and DAT sound recorder then I will leave it up to my teacher to work that kind of stuff out with disney. How it stands now though is I will just have my bolex with is pretty small and I have gotten into the park many times and my 3ccd video camera which is pretty small as well. If disney does try to give me trouble (which I know they won't) I can just say that I am making a home video, I dought they can make a rule aginst that, who says that just because my home video skills may be a little more advanced then your avage guest does not mean I can't still make a home video (yes I know I am cocky, thats part of what it takes to be a filmmaker) .

If the film ends up being pretty good I might enter it into film festivals, but as of now it is just a student film for a assingment for a class which at the most will be shown at RedCat. If I do enter it into festivals I might need to get permission from disney, but I can't really think why. If the shoot does end up taking on a more pro look with more camreas and 16mm sync and sound gear then like I said I will let CalArts and my teachers deal with that for me, I've got way to much to do right now and I am not going to jump through a buch of hoops to get this movie made (sorry I really hate red tape when it comes to filmmaking, and I have had to deal with my fair share ). Becides its funner to do guerilla style filmmaking
