Life is full and I've been busy with so many things that I haven't posted for ages. So hope that all is good with everyone.
I thought that I would start with a revisit. A revisit to Spirit and a revisit to a sunset on Mars from August 2009. It's a good challenge working with such small sized pancam jpegs. I posted the movie to YouTube yesterday. It's called Mars Sunset: The Sun Sinks Low In A Dusty Martian Sky Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf3p61l4gnE If you possibly can, then view the movie full screen HD and use headphones (You can see the hills much more clearly and in better colour and you can enjoy the sound track) The movie co-stars the one and only Paolo at the start for a cameo part with the main player - Spirit. Then follow maps of Mars to give the general viewer an idea of where Gusev Crater is. Then comes the sunset.... with the sky starting as a butterscotch/ochre and fading to a blue colour around the sun as it sets. I've enjoyed using a bit of artistic licence with the pics and the sound effects........ since it was dusty, I imagined what it would REALLY be like, standing there with the sound of the wind blowing and all that dust in the sky. The fun of making such movies is that it is the next best thing to REALLY REALLY being there!!! On the left below is the first pic in the sequence and on the right the last pic - after the sun has gone down. Hope you enjoy the movie! . |
