Welcome to the Loch Ness Productions Endeavour launch video. We created this to show our friends, families, and colleagues some selected scenes from our launch experience at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on May 15-17, 2011. We were fortunate to be accredited as press for Endeavour's final launch. Carolyn's main job was to provide stories for Sky & Telescope's web site (skyandtelescope.com). Mark's task was to provide images to illustrate the stories. We also took the opportunity to shoot fulldome video of several events the rotating service structure retract the day before launch; astronaut walkout early the morning of liftoff; the launch itself; and the rollout of space shuttle Atlantis the day after launch. Our all-sky camera is the Canon 5DMkII with a Sigma 8mm fisheye lens. Video was shot using a Sony Handycam HD 1080 camera and an HP Powershot A480 digital camera. Both the Canon and HP were also used for still shots. For launch, we recorded sound using a Sony TCD-D8 DAT Walkman and a AudioTechnica Stereo 822 microphone. Covering a launch as a media professional means jostling with hundreds of other media professionals to get "the best shot" at any given event. It's not always possible to get an optimal position, or even to set up a tripod in some crowded areas. At RSS retract, we set up the Canon on a tripod and shot timelapse. We used the Sony Handycam as a handheld source for video, in conjunction with the HP Powershot during the hour or so we were out at Launch Pad ...
