Let me know what y'all's thinks!!
Cliff - Zábava
It’s sad to see this show has stopped. The music and visuals are stunning and the choreography of the characters on the boats is faultless. I keep watching and listening to this. Thank you!
Here I am in tears. I hope this show returns, It’s a great representation of our planet and what Animal Kingdom stands for. The music is everything.
Rivers of Light was THE most incredible, innovative and artistic nighttime spectacular ever created for the Disney Parks, in my opinion. The music was OUT OF THIS WORLD! 😃Thank you for putting so much love and care into capturing it. 💖
Couldn't agree more!
I wish they would bring this back. It was a beautiful show with incredible music. Oh and that backdrop...it is hard not to get a lump in your throat. The best show in the best park.
I have watched this video dozens of times. Cliff, you did an amazing job at capturing this masterpiece. Nobody captures Disney shows quite like you. Your enthusiasm and dedication to creating stunning content is evident in all of your videos. Thank you for everything you do. You are awesome.
so many times when we were guests at disney in the past few years we tried to catch this show but the nights we were planned to go it would cancel due to the infamous technical difficulties this show endured. Once however, on our last trip down were we able to finally catch a showing and despite all the negativity around this show from the likes of the dis podcasts and posts on many fan sites constantly putting this show down we were extremely satisfied with seeing this show and vowed to always return to it when we go back. And then the perm shut down happened, so we are grateful for this mindblowing recording you have provided to always bring us back to that one night, that one lucky night we were able to finally see this. Thank you for your contribution of this magnificent recording. The quality and audio is perfection.
Wow! Thanks,.....yeah this was a labor of love for me. It was bold for Disney to make a show like this with completely new intelectual property like this that is NOT movie based! Also, the show was unique and so artistic. It required people to "think" about what was happening and why it was happening and I LOVED that about this show. Sadly, many just didn't want to invest too much "thought" into it and watch it and go. I did not like that they replaced the show with at all. Im so glad I got this footage when I did. If I had known it was going to end so fast, I would have gotten so much more! Anyhoo...glad you liked it. Tell your friends! ; -)
You're the best Cliff, thank you for capturing these awesome memories for us all! ❤
All with no IP. Was this peak Disney? Was it all downhill from here? Absolutely unbelievable audio on this as always, Cliff.
They can bring this back anytime! Such a great show. It’s a shame that this has been lost.
DISNEY! GIVE US BACK RIVERS OF LIGHT!
This is AMAZING!!! I’ve watched videos of “Rivers of light” uploaded by other CZcamsrs, but this one has the best quality of video and sound. I’m so impressed, your editing is INCREDIBLE! Thank you for sharing this beautiful art!
Thank you! I used some pretty special equipment on this and it really was a lot of work to get together. It took about 1 year on three trips. I incorporated some really cool techniques that I had never done before and it took a couple of bad recordings to get it right. Anyway...thanks again and tell your friends!!
Thank you for the beautiful filming and mixing! The focusing /close-ups/ music mix, makes it perfect! Congratulations
Cliff!! Dude! Nobody else films like YOU!!! There are many videographers out there today, but NONE of them quite compare to your style. You really know how to capture the special moments in a show, and make them feel MAGICAL!!✨ Best way I could say it. Lol. And btw, I really think Disney should put the CAST Members back into this show, huh! 😉
It's the Shamen on the boats that are conjuring up all the animal spirits! Without them, the show is so lifeless. I mean, empty boats moving around the lake? It's literally SILLY without them! Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it! Tell your friends! Hehe! ;- )
@@CLIFFLIX
You got it!! 👍😄
I hit the bell, so now I should get ALL your videos automatically. Disney should watch your videos too!! Maybe then they would see what WE see!😉 Lol. "See Ya Real Soon"!!👋
@@kendallskeep - I dont release a lot of videos but I cant yell you that I have my last "Reflections of Eath Farewell 2019" video in production right now. It's a mega-production for me. It's by far THE most complex video I have ever created. I alsp have a vastly updated 4k "World of Color 2019", a new "Disneyland Forever 2020" and a new and much better "Fantasmic 2020" all in the pipeline. The Reflections of Earth Farewell is going to blow away the current version! Wahooo!
@@CLIFFLIX
That sounds wonderful!😄
I'll be looking forward to each of them!!👍You are the BEST!!!
I really miss this show. It fit the park so well and was so beautiful. The update was kind of bad. I believe the show and the soundtrack is already beautiful, it just needed to more action, or maybe some more specials effects would be really cool.
Why did they update it from this version?
Loved your cameo. We only were able to see this show one time.
Cliffy, this one still makes me CRY.😭 It is SO beautiful to watch. Still, noone films better than YOU. These videos really help during this time! Hope all is well, friend.🙂💖
I LOVE "Rivers of Light" The original show version was so innovative and creative. The Shamen on the boats really gave this show "life". They were the ones that conjured up all the sights and sounds that we all saw. When Disney removed them from the show, they killed the whole thing! They removed the "life" right out of it! C'mon....boats just drifting arround empty? Uggg....well? Now its gone forever. I guess it will live on CZcams forever. Im REALLY glad I got the footage before it died! Thanks for watching. Im glad you liked it! :-)
@@clifftotten7609
I agree!! The Shamen should have remained in the show. They added a spiritual touch. I wish Disney could see things the way their fans do. But I guess they listen more to the bottom dollar instead. What ashame. But yes, thank God for "Forever on FILM"!! 👍🎥 🎬
It's not a Disney park without a "kiss goodnight". This was that for animal kingdom and I wish it was still around.
This show would have been a hit if it had opened with Animal Kingdom, or at least when Everest was installed. In those days, Animal Kingdom was all about the wonder of Mother Nature and her animals. There was a certain mystic charm to Animal Kingdom. The big problem with this show was that it opened during the INTELLICTUAL PROPERTY years of the park. I hate what they are doing to Epcot and Animal Kingdom. They weren't designed to house the Disney Characters - they went beyond that. Sad that those days are gone. Now everything has to have a movie connection.
Very well said! You nailed it right on the head! +1 all the way
Stumbled upon your videos. Words cannot describe. My family is 13 hours,away from Disney . These are priceless . Much thanks. Sherrie fox and family.
WOW!,...I'm soooo glad your enjoyed this. How did you find me? I always seem to be SUPER hidden on CZcams! lol ;-)
Wow, I never knew this show existed. I wish I could've seen it in person, it's sooo beautiful 😍
Clifflix, Once again, another amazing video.
Your right, this is a beautiful show. Disney really got it right with the lighting, sounds, and music. Everyone expects fireworks in a nighttime show...so not to have that feature, is a hard sell.
But congrats on YOUR work. You really edit this to capture the beauty of this show. I am shocked Disney has not hired you yet.
Thank you for your videos and I am looking forward to your other new items.
I only ever saw this show once, during my first trip to WDW, and seeing this through a fresh new pair of eyes, it was freaking amazing. I got super weepy. Sucks that they can't keep a night time show there. I know they can't do fireworks there for obvious reasons.
I think this was one of the very best shows Disney has ever made. It was completely ORIGINAL! It was not a show with a bunch of movie clips and songs stitched together. It didn't rely on Disney animated IP. It told a story of life and death and survival. It was so beautiful and unique! I just think that many people were expecting to seeing Disney Mickey Mouse or Moana or Coco in this show and never bothered to actually look at this properly. I'm going to re-color and re-edit this in late 2024.
Guys, make sure to download you own high quality copy of the video file too! The link is in the description above.
CLIFFLIX Is this copyrighted? Disney pls don’t report this😭
What an amazing video. The best video of Rivers of Light on CZcams. Perfectly encapsulates this stunning show. Brings back so many happy memories. Fantastic job Sir.
Oh wow!,...thank you! Yeah,...this show was perfect as it was. Buy removing the Shamen, they stripped the "life" out of it. After all, it was the Shamen that were conjuring up everything we saw and telling us the story. They WERE the story tellers. It's now a shell of what it used to be....but I'm glad that I captured it before it died. :- (
I miss this show
I’m sad Disney removed Rivers of Lights because it was my favorite show!
It was my second favorite show behind IllumiNations; Reflections of Earth. Rivers was a truly ORIGINAL concept show. Disney need MORE of this instead of repackaging shows with movie characters. Oh well,...at least it lives on here.
I am in the other part of the world, Malaysia. It's my wildest dream to experience it myself there. Thanks for sharing; I learnt something as well. Bravo to team and it was tremendously amazing!
the music and the colors are just gorgeous!
Brilliantly captured video of this lovely show. Only saw the show once before it came to an end, so this is a wonderful reminder of the end of a perfect day at Animal Kingdom. We’ll done sir, for all your efforts to tell the story of this show! My only frustration is your rather intrusive on-screen logos keep catching my attention, taking me out of the show. It would be nice if these were much smaller, or better still removed entirely.
Sorry for the branding but my work is often stolen by people trying to use it as theirs. I have even had people try to cover my branding with theirs. In a perfect and honest world, I wouldnt need to protect my work like that. Sorry....
My favourite, hope to see it again😊
Thank you so much for this video, you did justice to this amazing version of the show
I love The song of we are one That actually plays we go on from illuminations
it’s beautiful
I REALLY loved this show. It was so unique and powerfull. The best thing was that it was NOT the typical Disney medely of Disney cartoon properties. It was 100% "original" content with a beautiful story.
Incredibly choked up watching this INCREDIBLE video. Thank you so much for taking the time to create it. This was one of the best multimedia shows Disney has created in the past 30 years and for them to systemically remove the actors and then change the music/story was criminal. I'm still so upset by it. Thank goodness we have incredible videos like this one to remember forever.
Thanks so much!. Yes, this show was a masterpiece! It was 100% new and original. It had no movie properties and that is what set it apart from the usual mix of well known Disney medley clips glued together. THIS show was a true "break" from those "common" things. Good news! 2022 will bring a refreshed edit of this show with some nice visual improvements! Stay tuned!!
I love the soundtrack and the composers it gives a Moana and Brother bear feeling 💗💗
Oh my word,your video is so beautiful and has just made me cry happy tears,thank you for sharing 😍
Wow!...thanks! It's a very emotional show for sure. Unfortunately, this original version is gone now. The Shamen on the boats, the very people that conjur up everything we see, were removed from the story. Now the boats just float around lifelessly. Im just glad I was able to caputure multiple angles of the original show before it died. Now, it will live here forever on CZcams! Thanks!
@@clifftotten7609 awhhh I noticed the new version is not good at all, so glad you managed to capture this version perfectly, will keep watching it when I can as its awesome, take care and keep posting the awesome videos 😊
Crazy to think that a Disney night show helped me accept the passing of a rescued feline friend...We are one.
Wow,....that's a really great testimonial for the show! Sorry about your loss. I'm a big animal lover too and when you lose one, it really hurts bad. : -(
@@CLIFFLIX Thanks, brother! It absolutely does. The story of connecting the living with with the spirits of creatures passed on was a really unique theme for a night show. Thank you for this meticulously woven together film of the experience - Especially now that our beloved shaman characters have been axed as a budget cut...It's definitely nice to relive it here.
@@rohirrim11rider - Thanks! Tell your friends about it! ; -)
Very beautiful, exciting and moving🥲🤩
Thanks!...one of THE best shows that Disney has ever made. I'm so sad that it's gone. I loved the Shamen on the boats, especially the water acolyte performer! She was awesome!
I will see this show on my next trip to walt disney world whenever that will be. I seriously need to go back soon.
I'm sorry to tell you that this version of the show is gone. This is the original version with the live Shamen on the boats. The current version is been heavily scalled down and no longer has people on the boats. Sadly, the "true" Rivers of Light only lives here on CZcams now.
@@CLIFFLIX oh well I guess that I will just enjoy the scales down version of this show and enjoy the rest of animal kingdom. I look forward to seeing pandora and dinoland. Pandora was not open on my last trip to animal kingdom.
great stuff Cliff
I always think of Illuminations Reflections of Earth when I watch this
I love this video!
Thanks! Tell your friends! ;-)
Hi Cliff, you were not kidding, you really like this show! LOL. Very cool my friend!
Wow! This is the best video of ROL on CZcams! It probably does the best at getting the feeling of being there watching it. The performers are leaving the production on Saturday September 29th and I am so glad I have something to look back on to see some of my good friends performing as the shamans! Thank you so much!
OMG!....if you know her, tell the blue Alcolye performer that she hypnotized me! When I was editing this video, I was just mezmorized every night by how she was moving and playing her part. She is the left Acolyte water performer in my video thumbnail. Wow! She is great. One night as the show ended, I went to the waters edge and bowed to her. She saw me and bowed back! I cant believe Disney will try to run this show without them....they ARE the show! They conjur up everything we see. Does Joe Rode know about this horrible idea?
CLIFFLIX I’ll be sure to! Joe Rhode probably knows but he doesn’t have a huge say in it because Entertainment is almost a whole different department from imagineering. So it’s really the entertainment department who are not renewing their contracts. (Most of them are on contracts and some just work at other shows in WDW and were pulled there. I believe the dancer you are talking about is one of the contracted performers.) Also performers coast a lot of money (I am a performer so I know a lot of this stuff lol) because you have to put in the coasts for safety, costumes, paying them, props, lights, etc. 5 mins of the show had to be cut out and the show was delayed because during a rehearsal the performer boats GPS’s mixed and one of them took a sharp turn and one of the performers fell into the lake (they all actually have built in lifejackets in their costumes which inflate by pulling a string somewhere on the costume. You can see around the chest the costumes are a little more baggy because of the life jackets) and OSHA made Disney either cancel the show or cut out the 5 minutes and make adjustments. So Disney cut out the tiny floating lanterns that were gonna be on the lake and the 5 minutes and delayed it to work on the gps’s and they placed a tech on both boats with steering just Incase the boat goes off course. Also something I forgot about makeup coasts that Disney provides too. They probably go through a whole makeup kit in 1 week because of how much makeup they wear per show. It would be cheaper to just not have them anymore unfortunately. Their future is unknown at the moment so they could always just be leaving for a few months to tweak the show/choreography. Who knows?
@@theabsoluteethanyt - Wow...that is depressing! Y'know those pirates anamatronics in Pirates of the Caribbean are also VERY expensive to maintain. Maybe Disney could have a brilliant idea and remove them from the attraction. I dont think they are very important to that story anyway. On Rivers of Light....Id rather see the entire show stopped if there are no Shamen and Acolytes! It makes no sense to have empty boats out there. Just end it rather that make a mockery of it every night.
CLIFFLIX yeah. Also this is how most shows at Disney work: Imagineering creates the show and does the set, some of the tech, and some of the bigger props. Costuming is its own department so they do everything on their own. The tech crew are their own thing and just makes sure everything runs right. The choreography is done in its own little department, same with smaller props. After the show debuts, the Imagineers are done with the show and have barely any say in it. The costumers only fix costume malfunctions and put them on the performers. The director will give notes here and there, and the choreographer will come back and tweak something every now and then. But the Imagineering have barely any say in a show after it debuts until a new show comes along. Also what pirates are you talking about?
TheAbsoluteEthan YT - On the Pirates....I meant to say that the pirate Anamatronics in the Magic Kingdom's "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride must be very expensive to maintain. Very costly!!! So,...maybe using Disney's current logic, they should remove those pirates completely from their ride. With no costly pirates to repair and maintain or worry about, they can operate that attraction at a much lower cost! Think of how much money they would save!! :-)
Please pass this Rivers of Light video to all of your Rivers friends! I would LOVE to know what they think about it. I am sooooo sad to see these Shamen/Acolytes leave. VERY VERY SAD indeed!
This was truly one of my favorite shows at WDW, Right up there with Illuminations-Reflections of Earth. Really sad the the "general public" gave this a pass, because it's one of the most artistic things Disney has ever done. It was a perfect fit for Animal Kingdom. I miss this show, a LOT.
Disney should have never ended this show in the first place.
The soundtrack!
Tj Samson - ???
CLIFFLIX Hehe, I mean the soundtrack is beautiful. I should have put some emojis in my comment. 😂😂
Thank you! I put allot of work into the audio mix! ;-)
It’s on Spotify if you use that service
Hey Cliff, I know this video is a couple years old but is it possible for me to get a 4K download of your production? Thanks so much for what you do for the Disney Parks community!
Thanks,
-Cam
I'm on my phone right now....hmmm...I thought I posted the 4k file. I'll check soon and will upload if not. Breaking news!...I'm doing a new 2022 re-edit of this show! I'm putting many sound and visual improvements into this right now. My next video is HarmonioUS which will come out in early March. After that, I'll be doing "Rivers of Light 2022" for a summer release. If you love this show likevI do....you will love this new video!
@@CLIFFLIX Thanks Cliff! I absolutely love this show and it’s amazing soundtrack! I did email you about a mouth ago. I sent it to your clifflix yahoo email, not sure if you still use that email… and if you want to give me a sneak peek of your 2022 version of ROL, I’m totally down and would feel absolutely honored! 😄
Thanks,
Cam
P:S: I have no idea how many times that reply got sent, it wouldn’t let me send it! Sorry if you got more than one!
@@CLIFFLIXHey Cliff, any updates on your newer version? Thanks!
@@Cam-dh3iy - Yes, there WILL be an updated version that cleaner and will have some different cut scenes. Maybe in the winter? Not sure yet but I REALLY do want to update this. It's my second favorite show behind Reflections of Earth.
@@CLIFFLIX Wow I’m shocked you’re up this late! Wasn’t expecting a response so quick, glad to hear! Any updates on Illuminations Reflections of Earth (IROE) director cut and documentary? I think I still have the photo you showed us in a stream of the anticipated releases. Have a good night!
Rivers of life is amazing show because There will no fireworks just water and projections
Harmonious has fireworks not at Rivers of life
Rivers of life has same water and projections with The world of color
Was this filmed with the a7s camera.
Rivers of light has water and projections is the same thing with World of color
illuminations has great music with Rivers of light
You need to Upload the soundtrack of Rivers of light I've been searching it on CZcams and I can't find it :(
It's on Spotify if you have it.
Could you please do a California version of that Soarin' Around the World and also give them this 1080p 4K Google Drive download option too?
Also, when you do, please make that watermark of yours smaller and less easy to see. It's SOOOOOO annoying when trying to watch one of your videos with that thing...
Do festival of fantasy audio
Convert the mp4 to mp3 please
It just doesn’t make sense. Why build something that’s going to be a spectacular and a few years later, they yank it away from guests. It’s just not fair.
