Unmanned Spaceflight.com _ Phoenix _ Phoenix EDL movie

Posted by: jmknapp Jun 5 2008, 06:26 PM

Here's a movie I made of the Phoenix EDL, mashing up a visualization based on NAIF/PDS data with an audio track of mission control communication against a techno/trance soundtrack ("Mars Hymn" by Hans Gruber, used with permission). It runs at 15x real time, mostly from the point of view of MRO:

Wow... a bit lost for words after seeing that! Brings a whole new 'feel' to the landing! Great job!

Yet more proof - if any were needed - that there is an almost embarrassingly great amount of talent here on UMSF. First Doug's animation, then Glen's, now this, and all the other mosaics, panoramas, enhancements, scripts, colourisations and data handling applications... genuinely very humbling to be part of this amazing community now.

That's just 100% brilliant!
Well done jmknapp.

BTW - Stu, let's not forget to credit your brilliant prose when talking about the talent on UMSF

And your poetry's not bad either, Stuey!

Thanks, but naaah, really there's no comparison: me: an hour or so curled up on the sofa or sat by a castle with a notepad and a pen... you movie guys: universe knows how many hours - or days - using complicated software and hardware, then adding music, to make something jaw dropping!
