Title: 11 Launches in 30 seconds
Post by: Bones on November 23, 2006, 06:30:07 am
Here is a clip I put together of my latest interest - Model Rocketry!

The video features a handful of rockets I have built over the last several months instead of finishing my arcade cabinet. 

Although I am completely new to video filming and editing, clearly the footage would be greatly improved with the addition of more koolmoecraig.

Yes, the engines are solid fuel. Nothing special, just your average Estes hobby engines....

Looks like fun!
You can literally watch your money fly away and burn all at the same time.  ;D

Have you seen the new Jackass movie yet?
They launch Johnny Knoxville into orbit using a giant rocket like in the old Road Runner cartoons. Just wondering if you knew about how much 'rocket fuel' it took them to do this.

PPro rocks. But it makes the man in the video talk funny though.  ;)

Do you have the whole studio, or just PPro? there is a image stabilization plug in that comes with it Ppro, but if you also have after effects you could stabilize this stuff. Take less pressure off of trying to be super precise when hand holding the camera. (although you do have to keep the rocket in the frame).

How tall is that thing? What size engine?

Ohhh... I am a fan of the jittery camera footage. I like the roughness. It feels gritty and unrefined or something..... I like that. My camcorder is IS though which already helps a little.

That was about 1 meter high and powered by an E engine. Top speed of just under 600km/h and flew to about 2000ft. According to the design software anyway....

Fun stuff, but I prefer having minicoopers attached to my rockets :)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMBOTLJn3FA


I wish they would bring Master Blasters back, that was such a fun show.
