Re: [ERPS] Somebody in Japan really gets it

What caught my attention and made me start checking out the sound to 
light delay was the whole composition of the video. The rhythmic motion 
of the waves is often used as an animation trick to give the feeling of 
depth. As you say this was real footage I believe you and would have to 
say it was visually intriguing. A lens can play tricks on judging 
distances and I had supposed the distance greater than 100 meters. I 
like science that also appeals as art.

I was trying to figure the distance of the camera from the rocket by 
using see to sound. Didn't seem right to me, was this a fancy animation?

It's not a fancy animation :-)

I've telephoned today and asked one of the staff, Mr. Kobayashi,
at the Noshiro Testing Center (NTC).
He told me that the video was recorded from the top of the
Vertical Firing Test Stand about 25 meters high (about 81 feet
high) with an unmaned camera, and the distance from the rocket
to the camera was about 100 meters (about 327 feet).
He also told me the sound also was recorded with the camere.
The countdown voice came through a loud outside speaker at
the NTC, and was recorded at the same time.
