I don't know, that's the frustrating thing (shown on TV very
recently, haven't had much time to ask around yet).
And no, nothing animated, because it was live video, with people
moving inside the appartment, and on the stair-way....:))
(and traffic on the street, when pointing the camera down)
Watch that film, even at low res, and see the magic yourself (I have
always found that the most tantilizing imagery, from an airplane or
tall bus, watching city night scenery from above, without any
possibility to record it as motion picture....the ultimate
frustration (and in terms of high-quality, it still is, you need
expensive videocam's to get even near the quality of 35mm photo's,
both resolution & noise).
If such videocam's become decently priced one day, I might invest in
a mini-zeppelin just for that purpose....:))
(imagine a rural house in a winter landscape, with christmas tree
lights, and the snow illuminated by a full moon....:))
(or, even more daring for a zeppelin, during lightning (the ultimate
freaking thing on a cold winter day, quite rare on itself))
