Very nice, I particularly like the on board shots.

Well done video of a great layout...thanks for sharing.

Hey Alex...Ahhh, you beat me to it. Honeymooners reference. LOL!

 

Is that a great layout and video or what?! I knew you'd like it. Thanks for posting it. What a beautiful layout that is and the video is terrific as well. I really enjoy the cab view and the background music is terrific as well.

 

I hope you guy's enjoy it also!

 

Does anyone know who's layout that is? And is he a member of the Forum?

interesting, he has catenary poles up, but no wire strung.

 

 

it is connected somehow to chicagoland toy and hobbies.

Great video; BUT, it make me want to take up everything I've done and start over.

Fantastic video and layout. Super inspiring. Hope we can find out more about this.

I believe that layout belongs to Chicagoland Hobbies owned by Mr Jedd. They do have a webpage with video and pics.

Great video!  I love New York!  And this makes me want to go back and ride the subways.  In April 1995 on top of the Empire State Building I asked my then girlfriend the BIG question holding a sparkling ring and she said, "Yes!"  Then we went and bought the perfect basement for a layout that happend to come with a house on top of it.

Great Video,  I am not a fan of using copyright protected music on these videos, but it is well shot, well edited and I will probably watch it a few times.

nice video its a shame he didn't use another Sinatra song "My kind of town Chicago"

Incredible!

Awesome video Alex. Thanks for sharing it with us on the forum.

Alex,

   Great video, thank for posting it!

PCRR/Dave

Awesome!        Thanks Alex.

Thanks to all, what an enjoyable video I think I watched it 4 times already

 

Alex

 

Just cool

Thx for posting  

 

I was waiting to see if anyone would comment about this.  (Aside from that, the video is well-produced.)

 

I would bet tons of money that most folks here wouldn't even think it's "wrong" to use copyright material in this way.  But it is indeed.  

 

OTOH, it's doubtful Sinatra's or Elvis Presley's lawyers are gonna chase these folks down... But stranger things have happened when videos go viral on the Internet!    Seriously, you can't get more high profile than Sinatra and Presley.  So please be careful.

 

Music licensing is beyond the scope of this forum... But suffice it to say that the music industry has NOT made it easy to license copyright content.  One needs to purchase multiple types of licenses (master-usage, sync, etc...) in order to legally use copyright music in this fashion.  And for that reason, choosing royalty-free music is a much safer alternative when creating your videos -- at least until the music industry landscape changes.  You'll be able to sleep easier knowing you won't get a phone call from Sinatra's lawyers ...  although Frank probably wouldn't mind it in this case 'cause he was such a toy train enthusiast!!! 

 

Great video though... Thanks for sharing it, Alex.

This one had my wife ready to start cleaning a spot in the basement for my train area!!

 

Thanks Alex, it takes allot to inspire her! 

Thanks for posting Alex! Nice video.....but.....New York..New York....... and no footage of a running hudson

 

I wish they put that much effort into their store

Jeff that's great, I showed this to my wife last night and it put a big smile on her face

 

Thanks, Alex

Had to watch and comment again---videos like this can really get the juices flowing

Thx again Alex

 

I'm heading to the basement right now

Very interesting responses about this video being so entertaining and inspirational.  The layout is very nice indeed.

 

But being the creative professional that I am, I'm curious to hear from those who got a great response from other members of the family.  Or for that matter, even those of YOU who were wow'd by the entire production.  How much of your reaction is based on the familiarization with the songs used in the audio track that admittedly help get those juices flowing???

 

It's for this reason that copyright-protected music needs to be licensed when "used" like this..  Granted... We're just playing around here, and we enjoy seeing nice trains in terrific layout settings.  But if you ever even think about producing a professional video for sale... Don't even think about using copyright-protected music without obtaining the appropriate licenses.  Buying your own copy of the music is not a license to USE the music in productions designed for profit -- or for that matter, any form of public viewing.

 

Just sayin'...  

 

Now back to the regularly scheduled programming at hand...  Enjoy!!!  

 

David

Wow! That was a great video. I almost drooled or "foamed".

          Thank you!

Great video and very well done.

Thanks to all of you guys.

 

I think I watched it at least 15 times already.

Regarding the copyright issue and Youtube.   Frank's music falls outside of Warner Music Group.  His music is under EMI.   EMI has allowed YouTube to use music as long as the fees are paid (ASCAP and BMI), and the artist (if he owns the rights) doesn't object.  Even then, some other technicalities fall into place.

 

So yes, generally, copyright is an issue, in this specific case they are okay using this.

 

This (music copyright) is an area of which I am intimately familiar on a daily basis. My publishing company owns my music (and I own the pub. co.).

Great layout. I didn't see any subways on it.
