Keegan's comment was the BEST. This was so powerful just watching it. I cannot imagine seeing it in person. The whole thing was great but a few of these shots were master class.
Just when I thought nothing could enhance the stay in the Smoky's that hadn't already been thought of,,,,, this arrives!!! WOE,,,I'm blown away! Way to go my friends !!!
Loretta we just did another piece of content in Astra Lumina with a much better camera last week. You should check it out. Every time I’ve been I get emotional as well. Thanks for watching.
Just Wow!! We were just there a little over a week ago ..wish we could of been there for the opening! Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to see this ourselves!
Now that is amazing. And the sounds do make it like a movie. I'm sure it looks even better up close and in person too. And it looked like y'all were cold. Great video. Hopefully, we can see it in person. Thanks for sharing.
I saw this was coming to anakeesta i really want to do this. Your video made me want to do it even more. Anakeesta is already my favorite place to visit
Thanks for the video of Astra Lumina! We left Gatlinburg on its opening day unfortunately. Anyway, there is always next time! Eric, as always, your camera work was amazing!
Bro, you have to go. You will leave different than you came. Just let go and immerse yourself in it. It's magic for real. If you go come back here and let us know what you thought about it. Thanks so much for watching.
Dying to watch this video but decided not to because I plan on doing this in a couple of weeks and I want to go into it sight unseen, if that makes sense. Still gave ya a thumbs up though because I know it's awesome!
Thank you for sharing this fantastic experience!! I am unable to enjoy events like this(including Trans-Siberia Orchestra) because my system can not handle the flashing lights, strobes, etc. It did look beautiful. Btw, you should clip Keegan's laugh with Dustin's "Wow!" ;)
I can imagine how beautiful it was ti be immersed in the music and surrounded by the lights! Going to have to check it out. What is the safety level for klutzes, it is so dark, are there any steep parts or tricky paths? Asking for a klutzy friend-lol
Hey thanks so much! You didn't miss it, we did not include the price as we were just kinda focusing on the experience in this content. Price for admission and the Astra lumina experience is right at $50.00. if you show up at night you get in the next day with that admission as well. We really do appreciate you joining us!
Planning to go to Gatlinburg in a few months and have been to Anakeesta before. I ride the bus up to it and don't do the chair lifts. I am deathly afraid of heights. Hard to tell, is this on the ground paths at Anakeesta or is this out on the walking bridges where you are high above the ground? If it is the latter, I will have to pass I am afraid to walk on them even in the day time let alone in the dark. But I enjoy the scenic views of the area from up there. Hope someone can answer my question.
Would you believe all of this footage was taken with an iPhone? It was. Edited on Davinchi Resolve. We want to do it again with our Canon R5 and see how it turns out. Thanks so much for watching.
@@SmokyMountainFamily that's awesome. I plan on using a GoPro 11 when I visit soon! I'm just learning DaVinci Resolve! I'm new this but I plan on putting out some awesome content in the future!
@@prettyrickee80 If you have a good phone I would definitely use it in lieu of the GoPro. GoPros struggle in low light. Just shot it again with the Canon R5. Dropping it in a couple days.
@@SmokyMountainFamily yea I was reading about that and found some TH-cam vid to help in low light settings and im going to try it out. Will be using by phone as well as a back up. Thanks for the advice bro! Looking forward to the next vid!
@@prettyrickee80 You probably already know this but the lower the frame rate the better for low-light situations. normally 24 or 30fps. The color tab in Resolve can also help. If you want, you can email us, and I can give you some details on what I do in the color tab to help. I don't know much but I'll share what I know.
Astra Lumina will be a permanent fixture at Anakeesta. However it will shut down each January and February and reopen each March. Thanks so much for watching!
Why advertise something that's completely sold out? You cannot get in. We based our entire 40th wedding anniversary trip around this place, even booking more days so we could do this and were turned away. When we complained we were met with "So what? We don't really know what we are doing but it's for sure going to be your loss, not ours". Cringe.
Hate to hear this about your anniversary. Not for sure if you are asking us why we featured this on our channel or why Anakeesta is advertising it? The reason we put it in our channel the same reason we feature anything on our channel- it’s an experience we had in the smokies and we document such experiences. Unfortunately, we have no knowledge of Anakeesta’s ticket sales. At any rate, we hope you still enjoyed your time in the Smokies! Thanks for watching.
@@SmokyMountainFamily so sorry I was not more clear. My frustrations are aimed 100% at Anakeesta for their lack of research and planning. Your channel is fantastic! I just subscribed. Love your content!! We did enjoy our stay in spite of missing Anakeesta, we spent 7 glorious days, mostly in the park!
Keegan's comment was the BEST. This was so powerful just watching it. I cannot imagine seeing it in person. The whole thing was great but a few of these shots were master class.
A powerful experience. Can't wait to do it again with less crowds!

@@SmokyMountainFamily we are gonna try and see it next month.
I’m here in Gatlinburg now we just came here yesterday and are seriously considering going to this event because of this video. Thank u😊
Bro, you have to go. You will leave different than you came. Just let go and immerse yourself in it. It's magic for real. If you go come back here and let us know what you thought about it. Thanks so much for watching.
@@SmokyMountainFamily Well it was all booked up so we couldn’t go but thier is always next year
Dying to watch this video but decided not to because I plan on doing this in a couple of weeks and I want to go into it sight unseen, if that makes sense. Still gave ya a thumbs up though because I know it's awesome!
It wont ruin it. Promise lol. Thanks so much for watching. Catching up on comments.
@The Smoky Mountain Family we actually got to go to Astra Lumina this past Monday night. Definitely ethereal, otherworldly and very cool.
that's really cool, we have been busy capturing fall, so we had not gone up to see this yet, do they play copyright music up there for this ?
It didn't show up as a copyright issue for us. Thanks so much for watching!
Wow!!!
Indeed! Thanks so much for watching. Catching up on comments.
i think thats some of your best Videography yet keep it up
Appreciate the kind words! Thanks so much for watching. Catching up on comments.

Thanks so much for watching. Catching up on comments. It was an incredible experience for sure.
cant make out what she says.. please tell me :) and i feel so sorry for you that your system cant take this type of stimulation!
👍
Thanks for watching Cynthia we appreciate you
@@SmokyMountainFamily , yw
Dangit! Y'all just cost me 100 dollars!
I wonder since the tickets are for a certain time if they only let so many people in at a time?
Looks amazing! Is it loud to sensitive ears?
I can imagine how beautiful it was ti be immersed in the music and surrounded by the lights! Going to have to check it out. What is the safety level for klutzes, it is so dark, are there any steep parts or tricky paths? Asking for a klutzy friend-lol
😂 keegan didn’t fall so you should be good
Did I miss the price or did you not mention it? I love your videos btw, I subscribed yesterday. I'm making my way through all of them lolol.

Amazing! Which camera did you use?
Believe it or not, this was shot with an iPhone. Thanks so much for watching!
Was the flashlight on?
@@prettyrickee80 nope. We are about to drop another one from astra lumina in a couple days shot with the Canon R5
@@SmokyMountainFamily can't wait to see it!

It on the ground no bridges it’s like a trail
Hey im curious as to what you used to record this with such a low light setting

Do you know if this is year round or just this fall-winter?
Astra Lumina will be a permanent fixture at Anakeesta. However it will shut down each January and February and reopen each March. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for your quick response! Appreciate all of your videos! It makes planning my vacation so much easier!
Can you do a Halloween video for Halloween 🎃🎃🎃🖤🖤
We will definitely be bringing you some Halloween content that day!
Is this still going on til December?
It will actually be a tear around attraction at Anakeesta. However they will close down in January and February. Thanks for watching.
Just one more reason to plan a visit soon! Is this going to be permanent @ Anakeesta or there for just a short time?
Permanent. With the exception of every Jan & Feb where it will close annually. Thanks so much for watching!
