“The thing about those parks is everyone has a camera there,” Moore said. The innocent looking camera was key to avoiding detection by Disney security. “The 5D’s small size and low-light capabilities were what made everything possible, allowing me the freedom to set up shots and move fast without sacrificing picture quality,” Moore explained in a “director’s statement” that accompanies press notes for the film (Moore told CNN he hasn’t been paid anything by Canon to sing the praises of its product). A breakthrough came courtesy of the Canon 5D Mark II camera – a digital SLR that can shoot high-quality video.

Moore understood there was no way he could shoot his movie with anything like a traditional motion picture camera. Why Disney might want to ‘Escape From Tomorrow’ “We had like maybe 20 seconds before people would get into (the frame).” “As soon as they opened the doors we sort of rushed in and got the shot (of the empty park),” Moore recalled. The movie includes several images of an eerily depopulated park – not easy to arrange when contending with thousands of visitors. …The position of the sun was charted weeks ahead of time for every shot.” We walked through the movie at least nine times before we brought in the actors.
“We did a lot of scouting (in the parks). “We weren’t just running in there and improvising, ‘Oh, here’s a nice place to put the camera,’” he said. Moore said pulling of his unlikely feat required tremendous planning. I was 215 (pounds) and slimmed down to 168 by the end of this shoot.” He said the stress was so great, “I lost a ton of weight. “There was high anxiety the entire time while we were making this film,” Moore admitted. The cinematic subterfuge went on for weeks Moore shot for about 10 days in Orlando, Florida and even longer at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Moore, his actors and crew infiltrated the parks without Disney ever catching on. So why would Disney ever allow Moore to shoot his movie inside Disneyland and Disney World? The answer is it never gave him permission. It’s a darkly comic and unflattering critique of Disney culture. In Moore’s vision, jolly Disney characters become fearsome ghouls an epidemic of “cat flu” threatens to sicken visitors an undercurrent of sex runs through this place meant to stand for innocent family fun. Walt Disney World is billed as the “happiest place on Earth,” but it’s anything but in the subversive new film, “Escape From Tomorrow.” Randy Moore’s directorial debut focuses on a man who slowly descends into madness while vacationing with his wife and children: Grim reality keeps intruding onto a theme park experience designed to banish every moment of melancholy.
