Nailed it and WOW great job looks so real Congrats

 

[stevielewis]

Outstanding! You nailed it.

Wow. Epic! Fantastic model.
For lens correction, you could check if RawTherapee has a preset for your phones camera. Last time I used the program the list of lenses was huge, not sure if it included phones though.

Thanks for the info HMR; my wife agreed with the purchase of a video camera. Lots of research as to which one to choose for my purpose

Looks better than the movie scene.

Thanks Taz...a high praise indeed

Incredible

I see myself sitting there with a cup of coffee and a sign the says, "those are actually pictures of the filming set for the movie...change my mind"

OK, the movie scene clip is just enough! Just show me your work.
...Wait a minute...

Outstanding! YOU should be working at ILM!

Well, after vacation time + a hacker trying to get all of my files on my computer (thanks to Jeff, IT genius for having saved me)
Here's the latest and final pics of the bay. Now both control booth are done on each side.
I'll have to buy the hardware made for a pocket door to slide the Orion into it. Next week...if everything goes well!

Thanks guys. I've done what I could with the amount of "details" seen in the screen cap.
Here's the complete floor with the black panels in place + the pit & crew (1:72 scale). I've opted for a blue light to minimize the fact that the figures are going to be static. The shot emphasizes the arrival of the shuttle Orion in the landing bay; not the pit & crew
The light trenches are open for the moment; these will be covered with a translucent plastic + lighting.

Btw: my phone does a strange thing with its lens; it makes the trapezoidal entrance look like a rectangle I can assure you that it's, indeed, a trapeze

Look up madelman 2001 astronauts...if you have the 1/12 scale pod as see on Tested.

Fantastic Joberg!

 

[modelerdave]

Unbelievably cool. Those control booths are perfection.

 

[SCUDMAN]

incredible work Joberg!

 

[stevielewis]

Fantastic work Joberg!

 

[joberg]

Thanks guys! Really appreciated I'll have to buy a pocket door hardware set-up for filming the Orion entering the bay.
That'll be next week if everything goes well

Crazy level of build bud ! Amazing

Well, after a long radio silence concerning this project, I've come to the conclusion that some more tech is needed to achieve what I want to do.
1: Buy a proper video camera; the IPad is not the answer (as you will see).
2: Improve the rig; in this raw footage, the entire landing bay is moving...the Orion is static. I'll have to try another method in terms of rollers.

Stay tuned

Yet still, quite a good go of it. Looking good, can't wait to see your improvements.

 

[Carlb]

Still looks very good Joberg.

 

[Analyzer]

Very impressive

 

[JediMichael]

That does look good already.
What do you have it on to roll it and are you moving it by hand?
A lot of times, having bigger type wheels on a track can give a smoother motion.
And decent HD video cameras have come way down in price down. I gotten some used ones that were alright. Surely better than a cell phone.
