DisSONGSney: Adventurtorium!

Before we start Let me ask you some questions:

1. Do you like Disney Pixer's Up?

2. Do you like Disney's Song book?

3. Do you like new experiences?

If you said yes to any of those questions then this new album Adventurtorium is the newest addition to your Disney music collection.  

     I must say when I was asked by djRom to preview the album and write a review on it; I was delighted and happy to oblige but I didn't know what to expect.  It turns out I was pleasently surprised, I love the interpretation and I think djRom is on to something.  A new way of story telling through song.  The best part of it all is hearing all your favorite songs from Disney in the retelling of Up.  I challenge you to see how many you recognize (There are so many, I love it!).  

     You get the entire story of Disney Pixar's Up with a twist.  You get a great variety of Disney music from other Disney classics, as well as a few songs thrown into the mix that are just plain fun.  All of the songs used fit perfectly into the story it is like Up the musical!   The mixes of the Disney music is just that an upbeat, exciting, new way to experience them.  

     As djRom's description of the album tells us, the tracks were mixed using two turntables, mixers, Serato, and Audacity.  Although seemingly effortless, this in no way was an easy album to put together.  I must say it came together beautifully and as I said effortlessly.  

     I think any Disney fan or anyone who appreciates Disney music will enjoy this album and I haven't even told you the best part of it all.  The best part is that 25% of the cost of the album will be donated to Give Kids the World, a fantastic organization whose purpose is to fullfill the wish of children who are terminally ill and dream of going to Walt Disney World. 

 

  The cost of the album is extremely reasonable (only $10) and you get:

          - 2 hand colored Discs

          - 4-panel hand-drawn CD wallet

          - 35 wonderful tracks

          - For a teaser check out http://jpar.co/adventurtorium-teaser/

   But don't wait to order this album because it is a limited edition, only 500 copies are being made!  

I plan to make this spectacular album a part of my Disney Music Library.  My favorite tracks so far are number 16 and 17 (I will wait till the album releases to tell you the names.)  Put April 14, 2014 at 4:14 p.m. Eastern in your calendar right now because that is when the album will be released!  Also, If you like to hear a preview before purchasing visit disdads.com radio on April 13th at 8 a.m. Eastern.  #Adventurtorium24 is the 24 hour Adventurtorium release event where you can preview the music.  Again I would not wait long to purchase as there are only going to be 500 copies. However, the album will be available for free from the Adventurtorium website.

For the general Disney fan it is not enough to listen to all of our our favoritie Disney songs over and over.   We like to hear different interpretations and variations.  This album Adventurtorium definitely delivers when it comes to that.  Be the Disney Finatic that I know you are and purchase Advenurtorium.

What you will need

1. White canvas shoes

2. modge podge

3. two fine black permanent markers

4. Various fine tip paint brushes

5. Paint marker color of your choosing (optional)

6. Various paint colors (acrylic seems to work best)

7. pencil and eraser

Before starting this tutorial check out this tutorial on how-to transfer a photo to canvas.  This will work for your canvas shoes.

http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/10/make-your-own-canvas-portrait.html

Characters to shoe

1. Select the characters you would like

2. Determine where each character will go (you can use the trim as a way to seperate the spaces as I did)

3. Measure each space of the shoe and be sure character fits in the space.

4. Using the "make-your-own-canvas-portrait" transfer the picture to the shoe (this will take some time)

5. When picture is transfered use the permanent pen to trace all of the black lines.

Note: I would do this part of the tutorial first for all characters you plan to put on the shoes

Remember you can paint over anything you do not like.

Painting a Background

Before this step if you plan on using the trim to seperate spaces and want to outline it. Directions for this will be at the bottem of this tutorial.

Note: Be sure to do this before painting your characters; this will help if you make mistakes (I know this is hard because I myself am impatient) Use a picture to get an idea of what you want and match colors. (Unless you are really creative)

My mistake I basically had to go back and repaint both characters all over again.

1. Use a pencil to sketch out your background

2. Start painting your back ground to your likely 

3. Use your best judgment for the type of brush you should use.

4. When mixing colors you just have to play around with the colors you have; to get the color you want. 

Tips: Pay attention to fine details.

Use good lighting.

You can paint all the backgrounds of each section or you can just work each section at a time.

Painting Characters

Note: Be sure to paint characters after background.

Steps are similar to that of painting the background.

Extra Step: Re-trace the black lines (you might want to reprint you picture to remember where the lines are)

Tips:

1. Use a very fine paint brush for small detail

2. Use a permanent marker for eyes, lips, and any other fine detail.

3. If you don't like how somthing turned out repaint it.

4. Use a thin layer of modge podge over each character to protect it. (if you don't, when you seal the shoe the permanent marker will run)

5. For items that are transparent (Tiana's vail), Paint what is suppose do be behind it then use a little bit of water mixed into the paint to make it lighter.

6. BE CREATIVE!

Final Step: Use a spray paint sealent to protect entire shoe. (Read directions before using)

Share your shoes with me!

Coloring the Trim

1.Use Modge Podge and coat the trim with a thin layer (this will make the paint pen really shine)

Left side without Modge Podge/ Right side with Modge Podge.

2. Use a paint pen color of your liking all over the trim. (read directions on pen)

2. Let dry before Painting Background.

My opinion on the upcoming films Saving Mr. Banks and Frozen. Two films coming to the theater this holiday season that I am excited to see when they do come out.    After listening to this podcast over and over I have a found a few mistakes for instance Ann and Elsa will make 12 and 13 Disney princesses respectfully.  I do not claim to know the exact story of the two films I am only speculating based on things I have read and trailers I have seen.
