As I was shooting video



First I bought a small digital video camera: TOSHIBA Camileo. No optical zoom, with a focus on the level of about 3 meters, with no memory of its own. But with support for HD in two formats, convenient and simple controls and swivel screen. And most importantly, very light, compact, fit in your pocket and operates as a USB flash drive via miniUSB. The cost of such cameras - about five thousand rubles. Resolution - 5mpks.






Another plus was the powerful battery. Until now, never had any recharge. SD- card to 4GB is enough for almost two hours of HD. But actually I had a lot less.

The second step was the choice of location filming. If before I was firmly attached to the computer, because it filmed on a webcam, but this time I could afford to stay anywhere. In addition, it was found that up to a meter in the lens is placed just a head, which is perfectly visible in the previous video. So the job has disappeared.

At first I thought to film in the bedroom, but I was embarrassed by the background and just the tightness of the space. In the frame must be some kind of fell into garbage. But then get rid of that third room - guest, and, lo and behold, it was possible to find a way to put the camera and without a tripod, and most take a position at which the frame is not only the head, hands and.

The camera was sandwiched between two chairs - soft back allowed without damaging the camera itself, positioning it at different heights, selecting the optimum position. Although, of course, will need to buy or build a tripod - the location between the backs of chairs creates a situation where after the video camera is a bit astray. As a result, the first few seconds of just technical - and cut them out is not so easy without the right software.

Because the survey carried out in the dark, then the problem came to light illumination. Feature of the camera in its full automaticity - the camera itself is trying to pick up sensitivity mode. Therefore, in low light exposure increases, from which the picture is grainy, and any motion blur. But then I remembered galogenki, which we bought in the old days for shooting meat for the booklet. Halogen lights - one of those that put in the garage as a backlight.






I included this piece, and discovered another problem. This is a natural oven. In addition, a very bright. The lens, I was not, and do it out of scrap materials: at least pull the sheet back over the wire frame - I was too lazy. Umbrella hang foil, too, did not want to. Therefore, experimenting with the location, I picked up the option of a beam in the ceiling. The video can be seen very experienced comrades svetorazdel. But the main goal was reached - the sensitivity of the camera froze at a certain level and no longer fluctuate depending on my movements and location. In addition, the picture, as can be seen - quite clear and bright.

The third problem was the microphone. In this chamber, he top. Sensitive enough, but to a distance of three meters was clearly heard me, to speak quite clearly and loudly. And I do not like it. In addition, the camera does not imply an external microphone. You can work around this problem by recording the sound separately and then bringing the track program, but it's too much for me - I'm still not going to make a video studio. So the idea with the microphones were left for later.

Filming took place with only one doubles and three sound samples. So the second time I wrote a ten- spot for memoirs, and then half an hour of video with answers to questions. It turned out 330 yards on the first movie, and almost gig for an interview. And I realized that I got.

The first movie came out in 10 minutes and 13 seconds. YouTube accepts only 10-minute videos. As a result, had to find and install muvimeyker - in houmversii seven he was not. Then it turned out that he does not pull stupid to work with video. In the end, I downloaded another converter and. It turned out the problem with the formats. The video was filmed in 1280 at 720. A convert these formats do not support. And also does not support muvimeyker. As a result, the double conversion three times gave unexpected results from the loss of quality. Finally upset, I put it on the download as it is. And lo and behold, YouTube took full movie.

But what to do with a half-hour roller - I do not know. The answers came out very good and advanced. But rock is not converting, gig - a task for half a day. Convert same quality at the moment have nothing. We must look for more advanced features for editing video program. The same muvimeyker just hangs on a roll. But it's still a work task.

So, shoot videos, share them, show how you look and how you talk to the camera. This is interesting!.

Compiled the most complete three-dimensional map of the Moon





The specialists of the German Aerospace Center have created a detailed three-dimensional model of the natural satellite of the Earth, covering more than 98% of the lunar surface.
To generate three-dimensional model that reflects many of the details of the relief, the researchers treated 70 000 stereokadrov Selena captured U.S. satellite LRO from a height of 50 kilometers, passes Membrana.
Many neighboring snimkluov was compared pixel by pixel, taking into account the position of the device at the time of shooting and the direction of the line of sight. As a result, 40 computers, two weeks of computer time amounted to a digital model of the lunar topography of the 100 billion points.
Map of 100 GLD (Global Lunar Digital Terrain Model) shows the height of the moon in 100 meters. It is further verified by the testimony of the laser altimeter on board all the same LRO. However, although the latter gives very accurate values ​​of heights, it covers the entire surface is not a satellite, but the photography - almost the entire.
Scientists have yet to be clarifying GLD 100, since the LRO continues to send new images of the moon and the data from their devices. In the meantime, using the new model, the researchers created a video ... Among other things, it shows some of the landing sites, ...
But they do not, of course, are the target of the project. Detailed three-dimensional map of the moon to help professionals in selecting sites for future visits of unmanned and manned missions.
