Very funny, indeed.

Awesome

 

[Marc Wielage]

That's hilarious, Gunleik! Very thought-provoking. Thanks for sharing it.

Hahaha.
I did see an episode of Fact or Faked where they successfully faked the Moon Walk using a really simple studio set and cables and weights to achieve the low gravity, didn't need no slowmo....
Here is part of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGME4MTOKIc

"Mythbusters" had a show where they disproved some of the conspiracy theories.

At the very least, this was entertaining. Guy was great. I think his point about none of us were on the moon in 1969 is a valid point.

 

[Nick Pasquariello]

I think the point of 'It's not a few seconds or a minute of fakery; it's almost two hours of straight un-interrupted fakery' is the most compelling. Do any of you guys want to do a no-cut, almost 2 hour long VFX shot using only gear available in 1969? I sure as hell don't . . .

 

[Sergio Perez]

Well, Melies would do it, and with a hand behind his back!

 

[Paul Lee]

Nice!

One way or another I think the craziest part of the whole thing is that NASA claims they DELETED all the original footage by MISTAKE....
"Yeah, we just achieved one of the most mindbogglingly crazy, amazing, difficult, historical, etc. etc. thing in the history of humanity. We set foot on the Moon, but uhh we erased all the original tapes by mistake."

Cover up, or MAJOR fail by the DIT at NASA

Just watch Criterion's "For All Mankind" on Blu Ray.

They may have "lost" shitty video footage but they sure have a TON of fu%^ing amazing 16mm pristine transferred moon footage. One of the most beautiful movie ever assembled. Take that consiprarcy theorists. (I'm not calling you one Tehben.. I'm saying in general.)

Ha! Well, just add him to the "Do Not Hire" list. Not for any major feature, anyway.

 

[Jack Cooper]

Thanks for sharing Gunny...

That was very well done...

 

[Tehben Dean]

To be honest I havnt seen much of any of the footage they got. sounds cool, I will definitely check it out!

 

[Bill Anderson]

Maybe time for a "Capricorn One" remake.
In space, no one can hear you scheme.

 

[Daniel Pearson]

LOL, very funny.

Actually, the guy I'm shaking hands with was.



But don't suggest he wasn't if you happen to run into him. He'll knock your teeth out like he did to this poor knucklehead - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wcrkxOgzhU

Yes, that's a fantastic series. We have it on regular DVD. I'm sure it looks great on BluRay. Lots of terrific footage that I have never seen anywhere else...
Cheers,
