The Full Mission Series Production - An Explanation of the Process

unarmodule5
Published on Jul 5, 2019

Production began in February 2018 with the intention of release on the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11's launch day (subsequently the pre and post flight press conferences were added). Each video took between 1 and 3 months to produce, working about 10 hours a week.

Full Mission videos start with the editing of the available audio for that particular day, sometimes split between 3 tracks of audio (air to ground/flight directors loop/crew onboard tape). Once that process is completed the available TV transmissions or other associated video is positioned along with 16mm film taken by the crew. Photographs are placed in the mission timeline approximately near to where there were taken in the mission. Captions are then added to give pertinent information. The gaps that are left visually are filled with screen captures of the spacecraft from the Orbiter Space Simulator. Positions of spacecraft are approximated to what would have been seen on the mission, but during TLI, CSM RCS and SPS burns (LOI, etc) the orientation is as near as I can get it to the actual (with sage advice from RW). Once these screen captures are in place the Apollo Guidance Computer (Virtual AGC) screens are captured. This involves setting the AGC time to the PAO announcements during the flight, screen capturing them and then transferring them to the timeline. Finally, the title sequences are added.

Final editing of the whole video takes place with a run-through of the whole thing before the render of the video. Video sizes vary from 4 to 24gb.


Apollo 11 Pre-Flight Press Conference (Ful Mission)


5th July 1969 The pre-flight press conference at the Johnson Space Center - Building 1.

The film is from two NASA archive sources which have been synched to give 2 different perspectives. Some audio is missing, as indicated in the film.

This is the first video released in the Apollo 11 Full Mission series.

With grateful thanks to Robin, Pat, Ben, Stephen, Dwight, Britt, Vinny and Ed without whom this project would not have been completed or be so complete in coverage.

Apollo 11 Post Flight Press Conference (Full Mission)

August 12th 1969 - The Apollo 11 crew conduct their first public press conference since returning to earth on July 24th. This video shows the press conference but the lighting is not adequate to see what the crew is talking about when they are presenting photos/film on the screen to the left of them. I have attempted to reconstruct that video with what might have been shown. This video concludes the Apollo 11 Full Mission Series.

This one edits available coms and selected videos from activities leading and including the launch.

Launch Of Apollo 11 In Real Time (July 16, 1969)

Quote
.....synchronized console audio from the Booster, CAPCOM, Flight, and RETRO feeds with footage from dozens of sources to come up with an experience close to what you would have gotten being on the inside of Mission Control on a headset for the launch of Apollo 11 on the morning of July 16, 1969.
