If that were true, my almost 30 years in the field of electricity and electronics, means that anything prior to a certain year I don't know about.
Utter bunk.
In order to be an expert in a field you have to know the history of it, and how the things you work with now, came to be from what they were.
Care to point out how many vacuum tubes are used in today's electronics? Yet it's required learning.
Trying to say that someone that started out in filmography and videography in 1982 means that they can not understand anything or any equipment that was used prior to that has to be THE worst argument I have ever heard in my life.
It's like saying if I bought a fully refurbushed Model-T Ford, there is no way I could drive it, nor understand how the car works, because I didn't learn to drive and get my drivers license prior to 1983.
Bunk.
No, that wasn't my argument, but please don't let this stop your excellent story telling
Well, he over emphasises his 3 decade 'experience' as if to say he was familiar and exposed to Apollo era tech...fact is he worked in the industry since 1982, the tech he would have been using is 10 years more advanced. The claim he has 30 years experience adds zero to his validity ( note...I don't claim it detracts from such, merely that it is actually quite a redundant and vacuous addition).

Do you agree with the guy in the op vid?
What is your take on my previous post, if you will?edit on 25-2-2013 by AtomicWedgy101 because: (no reason given)
I agree with the OP's video in that the technology to fake the landings was not really there, yet the technology to get us to the moon was there.

Is there a reason why you are avoiding my question?
I asked if you agree with the guy, and if you do, if you agree that his whole premise is based on two assumptions, namely, that it would have to be in slomo to be faked, and that the "live" broadcast was actually live.
You have to agree that these are the two assumptions he is basing his whole story on.
So naturally, these assumtions have to be proven to be true in order for his premise to work.
Do you feel these assumptions are proven to be true, and if you do, could you show me the proof that they are?

I didn't avoid your question. I told you that I agree with the OP's video.
So, I have to ask the posters that agree with the guy in the vid, if they agree that his claims are based on the assumptions that if it was fake, it had to be played in slo motion, and that the broadcast was actually live. Do you guys agree? If so, is there any proof to back up these assumptions? If not, then how are his claims definate proof?
Here are some links to previous pages in this thread. Please show how they "faked' things shown in these videos using slow motion:
It's kind of a moot point since even with modern technology, slow motion still doesn't produce the effect.

This was his main point together with it being impossible with a live broadcast.
So the two points he bases his premise on are both moot, since the live broadcast could have easily been recorded earlier.
That is the point I'm making. This vid is no definite proof of anything like the op claims. It is based on moot points.
Except you are still missing the point: Does not mater if it was live, not live video, or film. You still can not fake 1/6 gravity using slow motion technology at all. Period. The only way to fake it now is through the use of CGI.

No you are still missing my point.
It does matter in this case since this is what the guy bases his premise on. This thread is about the vid in the op, right?
So regardless of other evidence you may present for the validity of moon landing footage, this guy's premise is flawed.
That is my point here, the one you are missing.
Seriously, this is an exercise in futility, they'll refuse to (or simply cannot) take your points independently, they rely on distractionary straw men.
nalysis of Apollo 14 SEQ Bay Pendulum scene, which confirms it took place in vacuum and low gravity of the Moon. Comparison to similar pendulum on Earth clearly reveals fundamental differences between the environments.
