For some reason RU-vid didn't process this to 4k 60fps. I've reuploaded the 4k version here for anyone interested (same video): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q8qhbazEiYc.html
“There was this fence where we pressed our faces and felt the wind turn warm and held to the fence and forgot who we were or where we came from but dreamed of who we might be and where we might go…” - Ray Bradbury, “R is for Rocket”
That sound is amazing on my headphones it is like being there when i close my eyes, i just wish it would have gone on till all rocket sound was gone :) You can so clearly hear every crackle, and every nuance of the frequency getting lower and lower as the rocket picks up speed and the sound waves get stretched longer and longer.
Almost everyone who ever goes to record these events with their phone or even an SLR zooms way in on the rocket, but this is foolishness. You will never get nearly as good quality video of the rocket close up compared with the live feed or compared with a professional long lens. THIS is the video you want to get. Zoom OUT to capture the scene, the people, the sound, the reactions, THE FEELING of being there in the crowd. THIS is how to record video of a launch with common consumer grade equipment.
Adding to this point. Evidently, consumer grade equipment is the secret to capturing the audio worth a da--. All of the highly viewed livestreamers absolutely _fail_ to give the audio component of the feed any respect. It's always clipped to h-ll, or sounds like the mic was inside a Tupperware container, and it never, _ever_ has any frequencies below about 80 Hz. Evidently, a guy with a smartphone is simply a more professional setup.
@@Asterra2 For real. I was surprised how well the audio was captured considering I wasn't even trying. It could almost be an advertisement for iphone lol
I'm going to disagree, this video was more powerful because the pan of the surroundings showed the camera wasn't zooming in on the rocket thus making the size and sound of the rocket comparatively bigger and more realistic because we have something to judge it against. I've watched probably 20 other people's recordings and this one is the first and only that let me SEE as if I was there. Goid job!
The southern tip of South Padre Island within Isla Blanca Park is where I recommend (that's where this video was shot). There is plenty of room to set up chairs/etc. and the rocket is clearly visible across the bay
Thanks for not screaming into the camera. I understand people's excitement but it kind of ruins the video if the celebrating overpowers the sound of the rocket. This video was perfect!
Yeh, but what the hell is that black dot the other side of that line of cloud. At 58 seconds its the opposite side of the cloud as the rocket at same distance. It stays as fixed in location as the cloud, so its not a camera thing. You can see it up to 1:18. If it's a drone, must some damn long way up.
@@Kintabl There were 22 launches in the Saturn program. None of them had a catastrophic failure and that was in the 1960s-70s. You don't test things by blowing them up.
@@drunkenhobo8020 Because Nasa is founded by tax payers money they literally cant afford to blow anything up. The people backlash will demand to cut fundings if they do that and they have to be picture perfect every launch because of that.
@@drunkenhobo8020 How many Falcon rockets blow up when testing? Go whatch the videos. And look what Falcon rockets are doing now. SpaceX have completly diferent philosophy of testing, failing is nothing bad for them. NASA was public agency and they couldn't affort to have many rockets to blow up. SpaceX is a private company, they can blow as many rockets they can afford. You get it now?
@@drunkenhobo8020 Saturns didn't come of an assembly line. They tested and destroyed many components on the ground. Also they were lucky according to one interview of the people working on it. The appearance of sudden oscillations could have destroyed the rocket. And it did damage the lander in the test flight. Search for "Saturn pogo effect"
SpaceX learning and improving through failure. I still remember the naysayers saying Falcon 9 could never land on a droneship, yet they are doing that multiple times a week.
