Anja und Sören fahren als Hochzeitsreise mit einer Reisegruppe (www.tuk.de) zum Weltraumbahnhof Baikonur und sehen sich live den Start von Sojus TMA-17 an
For the whole video we used two cameras, a very simple and a better one. Both are normal digital single picture cameras with an additional video functionality. The video parameters are quite pure. At launch time we had freezing rain. Our cameras were unable to focus the rocket. They always tried focusing the drops. A friend of us was able to handle his cameras in better way. The launch sequence was made by him, thank you Andreas. Unfortunately we don't know the parameters of his cameras.
He used more than one, but just one captured the rocket. In summery the video contains material from three cameras in three different formats. Our video program used the resolution of the purest clip (640 x 480). I afraid it makes no sense to change it, sorry.
We had an excellent visit point, less than 1700 m (5580 ft). We could see the details of the rocket, but without a professional equipment it is impossible to have it in the clip, especially at night (3.52 am local time). Even the color is not true. In reality it was very bright like at day light, but not white or even blue. The color was orange. You know, digital cameras are able to see invisible infrared light and show it as light blue. There was a lot of infrared light (thermal radiation) :)
What type of camera was used?
Filming the launch at night is clearly very difficult.
If you camera films in standard resolution, could you change your project settings to export your video in 16:9 format?
