Apollo 9 Earth EVA footage

The Apollo 9 mission tested the Apollo CMS and LEM in Earth orbit. It included a EVA where Lunar Module Pilot Rusty Schweickart was using an handheld camera at the LM forward hatch and Command Module Pilot David Scott had a camera fixed to the CM side hatch. Here I took footage from both cameras and synchronized it with real time audio. Image processing: Frame rate corrected and motion interpolated from 6fps to 24fps.  Motion stabilization performed on the handheld camera footage. Fish-eye lens corrected on the fixed camera The end result is a cleared view of the EVA highlights. I created one version with footage from both cameras side-by-side, and another with a normal edit.

Retro Space HD

Started a YouTube channel to show some videos I'm making. - Retro Space HD They are mainly about historical space missions, trying to balance accuracy, modern online language and and good image quality: sequences shown in chronological order and at real speed short videos about a single aspect of the mission,  multiple camera angles adding sound effects and music noise reduction, field of view correction hand cropping for 16:9 HD displays I'm working based on new HD transfers of the original footage, and also on the original period NASA mission documentaries. I'll post a few videos here soon!
