NASA’s Apollo Coverup – A Forensic Look At The 16mm DAC Film Footage
In this presentation, we will focus on taking a closer look at several interesting segments of film footage from the NASA archives. All the footage shown and analyzed here was originally shot by NASA astronauts during the Apollo missions (1968-1972) on 16mm film, using what was known as the “Data Acquisition Camera” – the “DAC”. The Maurer “DAC” cameras were modified variable frame rate 16mm motion picture film cameras used by the various Apollo crews throughout their missions to film scenes of interest through the windows of the spacecraft, interior spacecraft activities, as well as to shoot exterior footage during lunar surface “moonwalk” operations and Low-Earth Orbit or Trans-Earth-Coast EVA ops in cis-lunar space. I included a bit more information on the Apollo DAC camera in the brief writeup I did attached to the earlier teaser/trailer video for this presentation – www.youtube.com FRAME-STACKING In the last half of this presentation (starting at 4:30), I show various examples where I employ an enhancement technique known as “frame-stacking” against the raw DAC archive footage. In certain cases, frame-stacking can be employed to forensically attack the raw frames of film and produce an enhanced composite still-frame of a stable (or motion-stabilized) scene. It should be noted that “stacking” is by no means a new method of enhancing video or motion picture film footage. It is a digital enhancement technique that has been around a lot longer than most people would …
From 1993 Album: “The Body-Hat Syndrome”….. Digital Underground’s Myspace: www.myspace.com Get Digital Underground’s Music: www.amazon.com & itunes.apple.com On 4th album release from Digital Underground, The Body-Hat Syndrome found the group continuing to cultivate its own brand of P-Funk culture, stuffing what had been the group’s first year of silence with a fresh batch of funk-infused rap. With the edgy grind of the leading single, “The Return of the Crazy One,” and its accompanying X-rated video (reworked for public consumption) boosting the band back into the spotlight, the rest of the album unfurled to less than outstanding crossover commercial acclaim. The album’s second single, an anti-racism cultural awareness politico called “Wussup Wit the Luv,” featured an inspired solo from Funkadelic guitarist Michael Hampton, as well as a verse and video appearance from Tupac Shakur. This would be the last time Tupac appeared on any Digital Underground release. Extended & updated info here: en.wikipedia.org
