Lunar eclipse speeded up & given motion in Vegas

[Michael Mann]

Here is another time lapse piece built in Vegas (1080-25p & .wmv). No color correction, no grading, just levels.

Khm, are you THE Michael Mann? :eek:

Video looks great. I tried shooting the sky at night, but it looked crappy. What filters or lenses do i need to get it to look this way, meaning to get this close to it?

[Michael Mann]

I used the longest focal lenght, the rest of the magnification was done in Vegas. The red color is due to the lunar eclipse, the pitch-black sky is due to levels. (No, I am just A Michael Mann.)

Very nice footage. Looks really really nice.

Thank you, pleased you liked it.

Nice clip. I like the way you made the moon move around. Did you do that with zooming and panning or is it some FX that you did in post?

[Michael Mann]

All fast movements were done in post, only a very slow movement (in the north-eastern direction) is the moon itself.

Great video. Did you get footage of the eclipse last night? I tried to get some, but our trees were in the way :(

[Michael Mann]

No, it was a (almost total) European eclipse this spring.

My PC has died and I'm limbo at the moment. I tried watching the clip on my very old laptop, but it showed only one frame every now and then. But what I saw was very appealing.

A copper-coloured moon. Beautiful.
