...Well, kinda. Went to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida with some friends today. At the Earthquake ride they had a special effects presentation with a mock up of the U-571 conning tower from the movie to show how the blue screen is used in the background. I lucked out and was picked as the "Captain" and was able to stand on the Bridge while a "storm" raged in the background onscreen. Was pretty neat.

Of course, none of the folks I was with had ANY type of video devices however a nice Brit family vacationing here took some video that they said they would email me so I could post it.

Nice read but it would be better in the SH3 Forum.

Probably, but I live in SHIV. Could this get moved to the SHIII forums?

Actually belongs in general but who cares.

That sounds like fun, cant wait to see the video.
