A15 flag follow-up - perspective and lenses

A follow-up to my Apollo 15 flag simulation showing David R. Scott close to the flag, like the moon hoaxers say he cannot be. This is a response to those who deny that the camera must have been where I placed it in my simulation.

NOTE: winstonsmith00 is now acknowledging that he moved the camera in his attempted rebuttal, yet he still thinks he proved me wrong somehow. Who knows?

The fact that zoom and dollying give two completely different effects is precisely why Alfred Hitchcock's famous "push-pull" effect works. It combines a perspective change and a variable focal length. It's best used to add weirdness to a POV when the character is overwhelmed by a key moment in the story.

By the way, it's also been called a "Hitchcock Zoom," "Dolly Zoom" and "Vertigo Effect."

@LunarTuner Yes, and IMO it's become so overused it's cliche. I have seen directors use very clever and subtle versions of it, though.

I'd never heard of Photogrammetry until coming across your channel. What kind of degree do you need for it?

[shanedk]

None. It's basic trigonometry.

Whats funny is that these retards use photogrammetry to "proove" ufo's. except that they do it wrong.

The evidence of a hoax is crushing. The only way you pro-Apollo people can actually make people think they went to the moon is to keep them from seeing the evidence. I posted a partial summary of hoax evidence on a science forum. To see it, google, "The Naked Scientists". In the "New Theories" section of the forum there's a thread entitled "Did We Land on the Moon". The summary is on page 15. It's the 7th post from the top.

"Apollo 15 waving flag at 2:37"

When the astronaut is next to the flag, the helmet is about one fifth the size of when he walks by the flag and makes it move.

I cut two pieces of newpaper to be about the same size of the helmets. I put one of them about as far away as the flag is from the camera. In order for the other one to look five times as big, it had to be about six feet closer to me. He didn't touch the flag.

I finally decided to get around to hunting up some educational information on photogrammetry. If you go to ww w. ispr s.o rg (the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing) there is an Education section, with links to lots of information on how to do both (they go together, as one of the most basic forms of remote sensing is taking a picture, and photogrammetry is a technique for reliably extracting information from pictures).

He as in, winstonsmith00?

[Surhotchaperchlorome]

Does anyone besides me notice that he closed his account?
