Here's a colorized video of the Opportunity Rover driving from Vostok Crater to the Erebus Highway and South Shetland, from sol 400 to 600, generated mainly from front hazcam photos. Too bad they don't take as many hazcam photos for Opportunity as they do for Spirit. For that reason the motion is somewhat abrupt.......except when Opportunity is digging itself out of Purgatory Dune. That turned out pretty good.

Anyways, sit back and enjoy the ride. You can play the video off my homepage or video page.

Cheers,
Aldo.

Yeah, just enjoyed it... three times in a row! Due to (as you say) the abrupt (and fast) motion... and the Vegas Beach like such surf music more and more.

The music part and the long sequence on/at Purgatory Dune... together perfect!

Aldo, thanks for doing these movies! Despite being jerky, this is another great one.

Thanks, guys! I'm also working on my own version of the digging out of Purgatory sequence. I think it's going to turn to be pretty cool, but there's a lot more manual work involved than I expected........Is there anyway to adjust contrast/sharpness on a batch level basis using Photoshop?

........Is there anyway to adjust contrast/sharpness on a batch level basis using Photoshop?

I believe that Adobe Image Ready, which comes packaged with the later versions of Photoshop has that ability (I've just been too lazy/busy to sit down and figure it out).

Aldo, thanks! I do not remember if I already said it, your movies are great because they communicate a strong sense of adventure/discovery and, thanks to the perfect music, they are funny too . Is a great idea, please keep doing it!

[aldo12xu]

Yeah, dilo, it'll be an ongoing thing. It was hard to imagine when I did my first movie last year that these babies would still be functioning. So here we are collecting photos for the sol 600 to 800 sequence! By next spring we'll have enough footage from both rovers for a full length feature!
