Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
Regular people assume the footage from behind-the-scenes featurettes are the “truth” — in fact, it is now standard practice to alter pieces of documentary footage from EPK “making-of” b-roll for public consumption for various reasons.
@kyalbr A lot of discussion whether this was practical or VFX. I think it would be more complicated to do in VFX than just getting it right on set. Watching Joaquin's eyes, maybe a monitor reflection in the glass, or a mark beyond the lipstick to nail the line-up? Pure speculation
I don’t think this is another “no CGI” lie. But something here does not pass the sniff test. 16 hours is a fortune of expensive production time for a giant tent pole movie. Anyone ever seen the 156 takes? @tvaziri ?
Emmet came to set with 2 things: a copy of his credits, which was a small-type single spaced double column list of modern classics that filled a whole page, & two-dollar bills which he passed out to the entire crew. “Don’t spend it and you’ll never be broke.” Absolute legend. ♥️
