Comment on Launch from inside an Apollo capsule (restored in 4K/30 FPS) [video]parent

Comments

Given the date and that it's a Saturn-1B, that would make it AS-202, one of the early test flights. So instruments probably real, but not final hardware.

I mean, is it footage from the test?

that's real footage

'Tis, and in the video the maker explains what they had to do - telecine 16mm film, stabilise, upscale, and interpolate from 5 -> 30 fps, as well as generate plausible sound from the spectra provided in the original test report.

upscale, and interpolate from 5 -> 30 fps

So it’s not really „restored“.

More like „artificially enhanced“

It's not like a sports broadcast, no fast-paced action happens on the instrument cluster.
