#Launch Of #Apollo 11 In #RealTime (July 16, 1969) - #FranBlanche

I meticulously synchronized the console audio from the Booster, #CAPCOM, Flight, and RETRO feeds with footage from dozens of sources to come up with an experience close to what you would have gotten being on the inside of Mission Control on a headset for the launch of Apollo 11 on the morning of July 16, 1969. Enjoy!

#Discovering #Electronic #Music (1969-1983) - #FranBlanche

This #film by Bernard Wilets was originally produced around 1969-70, but this reel that I present is the updated version from 1983 which includes new added #Fairlight sequences with Rory Kaplan. The original sections are VERY 1969 and the color of this print is still remarkable. Great footage of #Moog #modular #synths right in their heyday and lots of screenshots of waveforms and such. Is it coincidental that so much Bach is being played on the Moog? Calling Wendy Carlos! The film features several people who went on to make their names in #electronic #music, including Rory Kaplan, Douglas Leedy, and Jean-Claude Risset. This reel was transferred from my own #16mm #archive print using my Eiki Telecine. The Eiki has a 5 Blade Shutter that projects a 24fps print at 30 frames per second for a flickerless NTSC transfer. A special diffusion plate eliminates the 'hot spot' of the projector, and the sound is pulled right from the optical track. Enjoy!
