For Mr. Joe Perez, and for the others here that are interested in space travel and behind-the-scenes looks inside. Space must be a lonely and boring place. Scenic, but lonely.

90's are still alive. Primus is easily 10-15% of my commute music.

Mind-blowing visuals... I'd love to know what kind of camera that was shot on- the quality (especially dealing with ultra high-contrast situations, like looking out the window with the earth and sun in the background, and the dimly lit interior in the foreground) suggests an actual pro-grade unit with huge imaging sensors, which is precisely the sort of thing I would expect to *not* find on a space station.

Must watch full-screen at 720 to appreciate.

That is an awesome video. I had that song stuck in my head yesterday after catching part of a movie where Adam Sandler was singing it. haha.

Are you suggesting diesel motors make expotentially more HP as the TQ deminishes?




the above has a hidden message for you.

I'm assuming its shot with the same d3s used to grab these shots

if you have not seen it, here is 30 minutes of your life you will not regret. This guy is the one one who asked for the fancy dslr's, and build a device to track the earth to sharpen long exposure shots. Potentially was the one that saw the potential power of HDR in space.

Ah, yes.

I'm kind of old-school when it comes to video. When I think high-end video, I think Ikegami / Sony / Panasonic, with an Arri lens in front. Big over-the-shoulder stuff.



I keep forgetting that the current crop of DSLR cameras can now shoot high-framerate HD video that puts these old 3CCD monsters to shame.

This has been 100% of my commute music the past year or so. Best live show touring today, if only because of their lighting director. The music is pretty good too.
