thanks but i prefer my data stay domestic when I can help it
Nice video
@SpaceCo2023 at least ask his business email bro
What can you recommend for making a rocket
@SpaceCo2023 Thanks
Therapist: "Don't worry about Mustache BPS, It's not real! It can't hurt you!"
Mustache BPS:
I gotta say, moustache looks great on you Joe!
What *is* it with youtubers and the luigi'stache all of a sudden?!?
its november@@noobFab
@@noobFab Trueee
But no nut november kind of clashes with pornstache
The other critical thing for good rocket footage is pairing it with the right music.
Some absolute bangers in this video.
Definitely! Although I would like to suggest you make the audio levels a bit more... Level. Now I had to use the volume buttons a bit too often because the music was a lot louder than your voice, Joe.
A BPS upload day is a good day
You mean a good month.
True
It's better than a bag of....eggs?
Oh so that’s where he’s been, growing that stache
We're gonna need that onboard footage tutorial. Thank you so much for info blasting this off into the community!
For tracking with a cheaper tripod, put a strong elastic band around the handle and pull on that, rather than the handle itself.. really smooths out the movement.
Seconded. A proper tripod head is better, of course, but the rubber band trick is a great way to significantly improve the tripod you already have.
Love this. Please do the onboard camera segment!
It's very hard to find good information like this. So thank you BPS! Could you maybe do one also on live-streaming; its something that is also not talked about alot!
super interesting to see you go into all these details outside the rocketry core; the artistry of the videos makes the channel stand out. you are so talented in so many different areas!
and the mustache looks great
Wait this is literally the best timing for this video! I recently joined a rocketry class and I volunteered to be the main videographer for our launches. I've been trying to figure out your formula since it's so amazing but it's harder than it looks. Thanks for the tips!
level of your video-making is so high! Such a pleasure to watch your videos
BPS has uploaded, today is a good day… also wtf is a bag of eggs???
Congratulations on finally growing that impressive mustache! Your high-quality content is a constant source of enjoyment. Keep up the great work!
On-Board would be nice. My son will be doing his L3 next Sept, and he's had thoughts of OBC video as a side detail and although I've been flying for 54 years, my major On Board Cam experience is Camroc and AstroCam 110. Thank You Sir!!!!
VFX artist here,
Technically you are attempting to manually linearize the color of log footage when you are adding contrast to the “low contrast” footage. The proper way to do this to get as close as possible to the exact color recorded by the camera onto your screen is by applying a transform function that goes from whatever colorspace/gamut the camera shot to whatever linear colorspace/gamut you want to edit it in (usually just sRGB/Rec.709).
Basically, a log curve (or something piecewise like one) is used to map brightness and give small changes in dark values more importance than small changes in light values. In this way you “compress” the information by throwing away detail where our eyes perceive much less of it. Because the color no longer behaves as color would during numerical operations due to the fact it no longer directly represents accurate brightness in its “compressed” state, it has to be linearized again. Messing with the contrast is like manually trying to find the inverse function for the log curve, but if we know what colorspace the camera was using, we know the log function, and therefore should just have the computer apply the actual inverse function to restore the correct color values.
I know, this is a very long explanation for what is essentially applying a LUT in two clicks. I don’t use Premiere, so I can’t speak to how you apply a display transform, but in Resolve you just apply an IDT to the clip in question.
TL;DR - you can and should do the whole color correction step in the video in a few clicks by having the computer properly transform color from one space to another.
The Candyland shade is uncalled for!
Probably never gonna film a rocket, but looking at rockets going Whooosh for 17 min was fun tho.
Outstanding ! Lots of things I would never have thought about. Thanks Joe - I'm always excited when one of your vids comes out they are always so informative.
The best thing for tilting drone shots is just to have a second camera op. DJI makes this available on their nicer platforms and, with some good deadband/acceleration tuning and practice, you can get really nice shots (even fast ones). It's definitely a jump in time, money, and number of friends you need, though.
Nice video! I don't do rocket videos, but this has given me several ideas for things to do with my own videos. Always good to see someone breaking down their process as it helps get the creative juices flowing!
I would love to see the video about on-board footage! We're building a student rocket and are kind of lost on how to get the best possible footage of the launch, so that video would help us a ton :)
Love all your videos. You are doing what I tried to do as a kid 60 years ago but is was super expensive back then. I love your approach--empirical learning / failing forward. Please post a video regarding onboard cameras. Keep it up!
Joe this is another solid video, learned another thing about our drone. The point of interest mode is what we will use in the future, thanks Joe!!!!!
3:57 That was a cool shot! 1 in 74955 at least!
You're a BAD-ASS! Love your videos, Joe!! The best model rocketry videos I've seen so far!! Do you have a video on launch pad operations and techniques? Walkie talkies, tracking, different responsibilities, recording launch communacations, etc.? I noticed you use 2-way radios in what sounds like FRS channels. I'm curious about your protocols for that. Thanks for doing what you do!
A dedicated video for on board cameras would be great. Thanks for the look behind the scenes and screens!
This was a great dive into filming and you kept it really accessible for people starting out. Bravo! Next please do volume balancing your videos, and fix the audio in this one as an example so I don't have to constantly do it manually with my volume knob from super loud rocket / music and soft speaking overdub :D (on speakers not headphones)
Thanks Joe for the excellent video. You are so right about the auto focus! The other one is auto white balance...Turn It Off!! I Know you don't use it but I see so many others that have it one and it drives me crazy seeing the color change as the shot moves. Thanks for doing great videos.
Joe- I loved this video. You cracked me up. Great job!
Thanks for this! Lots of actionable things I'll be able to do at my next launch.
I use my old phones to take video of motor tests and launches.....Im definitely gonna try your tidbits on how to tweak the imagery .... had no idea anout the MANUAL focus to INFINITY...!!! Thanks!!! 🤟
I actually liked the higher up, further away shot, it gave it more of a scale and was a bit more relaxed than the other ones, a bit like the drone shots. But yes, it should have been angled higher up.
I would say that this is your best video yet.
Outstanding video - thank you!
This was such a cool video to watch, and I will definitely be using these tips when I launch my own rockets. Out of curiosity, what was the music you used in this video? It really fit very well and i want to save it.
The intro of this video is incredible 🔥👏
Now you just need an FPV pilot to chase the rocket into the air with a racing drone and boom. TRIFECTA or whatever
Always loved the Michael Bay circling drone shot
This video could not have come at a better time. This weekend is going to be my first HPR Launch with with college's club.
That's one hell of a lot of information in 17 minutes. Thanks for making my old iPhones worth using again!!!
Awesome. Yes do the 2nd review please.
BPS, you have inspired me! We will be starting launching rockets soon. I'm so excited!
Thanks for the video sir
Yes please make a video about shooting onboard rocket videos. With a particular focus around camera types and mounts inside the AV Bay, Exterior, and halfway in between.
Enjoying the new style!
absolutely fantastic video, goddamn. will definitely be looking forward to the followup.
I learned a lot about camera shots. Thank you
I’d be interested to see a video on onboard cameras. I’ve considered trying to integrate cameras into some of my own rockets (low-medium power) but never known how to go about doing that.
Love your video’s!!!!!!!!
Great Content Joe, Keep up posting....
Bravo! - well done video on a niche topic. Really well done. Looking forward to the on-board tutorial.
Great video (as usual! :) ❤ Armadillo Aerospace mug! :)
Thanks for the tips 👍
I've enjoyed your videos since I was shocked to find that you developed thrust vectoring controlled by an IMU in a model rocket. Yes please do the video about on rocket cameras. Also perhaps you could make one about placing a tracker radio in the rocket. I Fly near home and my rockets usually land in a tree or another back yard. I guess I need to scout out a bigger launch area.
Yes, please do a video about on board cameras. Very interesting info about all the rest, even if I'm not able to do most of it. I will try a few of the techniques at my field on low and mid power launches. Especially the ground shot with an old phone on a gorilla stand and the arm length tracking shot. Those really help!!
Love the stache, Joe 😆
Other than that good info on cameras. I was looking for a way to photograph something, now I now how. Thanks
Love the stache!
Coming in HARD with the mustache man. Fucking love it.
*Great video, Joe...👍*
you and your skills is incresing so much !!!
Posting to send positive vibes to the YT algorithm. Also, looking forward to the on-board camera video.
This channel is great: rockets, engineering, and videography...all set to great music and well produced. whats not to like?
Thanks for sharing so many tips and tricks.
I am part of a group of rocket students and we are still figuring out what kind of cameras we can put on the rocket. I would really appreciate if you could cover this topic in a video.
Good stuff, thanks for the info.
Great video. Thank you!
The moostash is extraordinary
Oooo, the oil bearings as a low pass filter is really neat!
I have been looking into onboard cameras for my current project and a video on the subject would really help me out.
Every day joe uploads I go to my phone and I watch all of his new videos.good job joe
Really useful tips, and applicable to more than just rocket videos. Like the mustache.
a bps upload be a good day
Thanks Joe
Another fantastic video Mr rocket man
About autofocus:
When I sometimes shoot timelapses of the northern lights with my phone I always have issues with autofocus if I forget to set it to manual. Luckily I can just set the focus to infinity and it matters even less than you shooting at rockets since the thing I'm shooting at is at infinity. But yes, when your frame is mostly sky autofocus is your enemy
Your pics are one of the best about rockets on youtube - congrat (not for the mustache)
Forget the informations for a sec...
Man this video with the new editing style and music is interesting!
Finally!
Boy has grown up , i am viewing you rocket from last 5 years.
Your mustache face show how fast the time passes.
From building simpler rocket body and putting soild rocket inside PVC pipes.
To build own rocket propulsion .
The problem of GPS.
To hours of coding and soilding PCB.
Its a very beautiful journey .
I have also started some project of drone in my college , lets see how far i go
the intro was chefs kiss.
This is the video I need.
Dude, love the stache
Good information, aerial photography/filming is more challenging that most would believe, an entirety different "bag of eggs".
Dude, I didn't know phone cameras could film in the future, that 2023 yeetmas was sweet.
BPS Is one of the best UA-cam channels about rockery.
exactly the tutorial we all need
I've flown a few rockets and stared when i was 12 or so years old. They were and are rubber band powered needles compared to the ones you all fly. You have mentioned a few times how the cameras mounted to the body can cause flight instability. Have you ever thought of mirrors or a prizm. That way, you'll stay inside the profile of the body but can get views out at whatever angle you would like. Love your station. It got back into fling a few of my very old needles! I wish you luck with your space shot!
The Goat 🐐 is back
Just saw the Armadillo Aero coffee mug...I was a huge fan.
Definitely do the on board video please
"Yeetmas 2023" is this a future sneak peak?
Im totally going to use this tutorial...
Thanks Joe, I rather enjoyed that 👍🏼👍🏼
Gonna take some lessons from this into my flights!
Yes! Onboard filming video, please!
I met a friend of yours at the Maker Faire Orlando event this past November. I thought he was you at first (he wasn't at this table when I first showed up, but saw a lot of rockets that looked similar to yours). Unfortunately, I cannot recall his channel name at the moment and I can't find him in my subscriptions list (I did subscribe to his channel). He's also a rocket builder dude and had a lot of really cool stuff at the fair.
Anyway, I would love to see a video with on-board cameras as a topic. I'm a fellow photographer, and I love learning new techniques and how-to's when it comes to getting great shots. Can't wait to see it!
Love the “Tash” Bro.
Love the mustache!
Would love to see you talk about onboard video. I am actively looking around for affordable solutions for compact, reliable recording on an M motor that is better than an array of Raspberry Pi's.
Please keep making up sayings, I love it
