Captain... Posted 22 July 2012 Posted 22 July 2012 This really is awesome.Watch in fullscreen for full effect.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 22 July 2012 Posted 22 July 2012 I'm not going to stun everyone. That would be cruel, even if I did watch something afterwards.

Trav Le Bleu Posted 22 July 2012 Posted 22 July 2012 Is it genuinely real, because it looks CGI. Which will add ammo to the conspiracy theorists (of which I'm not one). I'm sure that out is space colours might look more intense/unnatural and the seems like a few jagged edges, but that might be the digital camera (which could be several years old by now.)

Of course it is real, it is from the international space station (surely even Zingari believes in that), it is all timelapse photography so it may not look as you would expect, and it was shot at night so it would have a very long exposure on it, so that may distort the colours slightly, some of the colours are from the atmosphere, the green "clouds" you see at one point are the northern lights.

Captain... Posted 22 July 2012 Author Posted 22 July 2012 Altered. Thank you kind sir, you truly are a gentleman.
MooseBreath Posted 22 July 2012 Posted 22 July 2012 The first minute looks like genuine unaltered time lapse recording, but from then on it seems like it must be different shots embellished and stitched together. I mean, aurura spanning half the globe, widespread dramatic lightning storms occuring across a quater of the globe which also happens to be completely cloud free allowing us to see the incredibly bright city lights. Doesn't seem likely. Also at 3.21 you can see the two regions of lighting next to each other but one is in focus while the other is blurred, like you get on google earth. I doubt you can actually see such clarity of the stars, the atmospheric hue (whatever that is) and the city lights all at the same time. But it's still a good video, helped by a superb soundtrack taken from a terrible movie.

FoxesAreBlue Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 Could you post the YouTube link please? Nothing is showing p on my phone!
OzFox Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 "Every frame in this video is a photograph taken from the International Space Station. All credit goes to the crews on board the ISS. I removed noise and edited some shots in photoshop" according to the photographer....
Ozwin Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 God I've been on the Internet too long. I knew it was going to be this before I entered, how bad is that?
Trav Le Bleu Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 Watched it again and I'm certain there's a fair bit of tampering gone on. Surely it's just THIS Video tarted up. Looks far more realistic and still spectacular (despite crappy music) - so why the SFX show? Oh and Sunshine is actually a decent film.

It is not the first one they have done, they probably just did it in a different way, trying different effects and speeds/timing, personally I prefer the one I posted, even if only for the music, but that is the joys of subjectivity. Both are awesome though, it is not a competition
