andy lee Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Commander Chris Hadfield onboard The International Space Station has posted this amazing pop video he has shot a revised version of David Bowie's Space Oddity, Stunning shots from space - is this the most expensive pop video ever made to date??? the cost of building the station and flights to it means it must be!! Some nice post production anamorphic flares added to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KaOC9danxNo Julian, Ernesto Mantaras and Zach 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 That is freaking awesome! Haha. Wonder what it's shot on, the ISS is full of Nikon's, the D3S is probably the only video capable dslr on board though. They have video camera's as well.. not sure which ones, I don't see any fancy DOF though, so could be small sensor cam. Shame about the anamorphic flare though, imagine how awesome this video would be with a real anamorphic lens! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted May 13, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 13, 2013 Zero gravity seems to work well as a camera stabiliser. It is amazing to think that only 35 years ago Bowie imagined doing this, and now here is this guy actually singing about it whilst up there for real. Though Chris is the better spaceman, Bowie is the better singer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 NASA uses mostly Nikon camera's. A lot of D2X and some D3S, and about every lens you can imagine (including a 1200mm and one of those huuuge fisheyes) for still photography. Never have seen them filming with it (except time lapse). Yesterday I had the opportunity to interview André Kuipers, Dutch astronaut who has been on the ISS twice, returned last year. Really cool. He says they have Sony video camera's on board as well. Saw some DV tapes in a presentation of him. He was talking about the 'G1' but I don't think there is such a Sony video camera. Anyway, it's probably old what they have on board. Most things are, because they have to get certified. It's funny, the Russians have iPads in their compartments of the ISS! But they are not allowed to bring them into the American compartments, because the NASA didn't certify it yet :) They even have some Fuji 3D compacts on board but I never saw footage of them from the ISS. He also was telling about the radiation, they have to replace the camera's on a regular basis because the sensors get fucked up by radiation over time. They just throw away the camera's into the cargo ship that's being sent back into atmosphere where it burns... shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
