Moonscape - Moon never seen a documentary is free and open , funded by fans, who gather only authentic photographs and filmed the lunar missions, often unpublished or little known, in the form riscandita restored starting from the original highest quality available within the budget. This material is present in the archives of NASA and online (for a fee) from companies that specialize in restoration and re-acquisition of images as Footagevault.com .
The plot is simple: to rebuild, possibly in real time, and certainly in high definition, the excursions lunari degli astronauti durante le missioni Apollo e fornire così una visione della Luna, attraverso gli occhi di chi vi ha camminato, che per gran parte del pubblico è assolutamente inedita, sia a causa della scarsa qualità delle immagini televisive della TV dell'epoca e dei pessimi riversamenti successivi presentati finora da quasi tutte le emittenti televisive, sia per il semplice fatto che in molti paesi i filmati integrali non sono mai stati trasmessi.
Lasciando sostanzialmente da parte il come ci siamo arrivati, Moonscape si concentrerà sulle visioni e le sensazioni di essere sulla Luna, per farvi vivere l'esperienza il più possibile in prima persona.
L'intento is to synchronize all your photos, video recordings and films with sound and subtitles translated radio communications, with a commentary explaining what they do in every moment of the first mission the two astronauts who landed on the moon, Apollo 11.
No conspiracy theories: those taken down by themselves with the explanation of events and the book Moon? Yes, we went (free download).
If the project is successful, if there is sufficient interest and if enough funds, I will propose the same work for other Apollo missions, which are more visually rich documents. Alternatively, I could create a montage of shots best of the six lunar missions.
Unlike other documentaries, Moonscape Barer not for the sake of spectacle and so do not borrow images from other missions and do not re-create images or sound effects. Each picture and each movie will be strictly original and from the mission described. The only action will mount, the possible stabilization of the original footage and digital animation to create panoramic photos in HD.
The documentary will be distributed free online and other media, in order to obtain the widest possible dissemination: the purpose is to inform, not make money.
Visas restored material costs and the work of dubbing and synchronization, and since Moonscape will be offered for free, the project inevitably depends on a collective effort.

Il primissimo trailer è stato pubblicato per il quarantunesimo anniversario del primo allunaggio. Qui sotto ne potete vedere una versione aggiornata.
Ne ho preparato anche una traduzione in inglese .

Le FAQ di Moonscape : risposte alle domande più frequenti
Si parlerà delle obiezioni di chi crede che fu una messinscena? Soltanto con brevi accenni. In realtà la visione di questo materiale, nella sua qualità originale restaurata, sbufala da sola le teorie di complotto. Moonscape è pensato per onorare coraggio e ingegno, non per smontare doubts and delusions.
When you're ready? depends on the materials when they become available to work: especially the restored version of the live broadcast (still pending) and the repayment of the correct color in 16mm footage of the Apollo 11 lunar excursion (which arrived in July 2010). The hope is to have a preliminary version by December 2010 and the final release for July 21, 2011, for the forty-second anniversary of the landing.
In what formats will be available? The high definition version will be available as a file distributed via the Internet as a download, even on circuits peer-to-peer, and media as USB sticks, memory cards, DVD and Blu-ray. A version in standard definition (not HD) will be available as a DVD ISO image, ready for burning and playback on any DVD player. The video will also be distributed through streaming sites like YouTube or Vimeo.com.
There will be a way to see the ongoing work of creation? Yes be posting online versions intermediate low resolution for review and quality control by anyone who wants to contribute.
The subtitles are removable? versions distributed as files (not streaming) yes: they will be saved in a separate file.
send home? No. Manage duplication, packaging and shipping I would be too long. But Moonscape be legally duplicated by anyone who already owns a copy and I will always carry some physical copy with me during my lectures.
long will the "fundraising"? indefinitely, or at least until you have completed the documentary series.
As you've collected so far? How did you spend the funds? How many and who are the donors? This information is available here at ComplottiLunari.info .
But how much you earn? Probably nothing, apart from the possession of a copy of HD movies on the Moon and a few books of reference and the satisfaction of telling a fascinating story and raising awareness. In fact, we invest time and technical resources, and the Paypal fees I pay. I also bought my own pocket about 800 € of documentary material to support Moonscape , since I use it for my lectures, do not include in the budget of the documentary. Any unused donations and any profits from sales to broadcasters and other commercial entities will be reinvested in future projects. I do not do these things for money, do it for passion.
With that license will be distributed? With Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 3.0 (the logo above shows the wrong license, I know the system as soon as I can). It will be freely distributed with the obligation to cite the author and the ban on the making trade work or make any derivative work without my permission.
TV broadcaster can broadcast it? A provider of DVD / Blu-ray can sell it? course, provided they do not ask for exclusive contracts, which the forward / post in full (including the signs and license free distribution) and they pay a reasonable contribution to the project. Moonscape is and must always remain freely distributable.
But it is legal to distribute free questi filmati? Sì, certamente, se fanno parte di un'opera creativa nuova. Le condizioni di acquisto di Footagevault.com e le norme di copyright della NASA parlano chiaro: il materiale NASA è esente da diritti di sfruttamento e distribuzione e la versione restaurata da Footagevault è liberamente utilizzabile quante volte si vuole, "in tutti i media in tutto l'Universo conosciuto" . Footagevault non si fa pagare diritti sui filmati: si fa pagare l'amministrazione e la consegna.
Non ci posso credere: cosa dice esattamente Footagevault? Questo: "7. Can I reuse the material I have paid for ? You are free to use the material you acquire from us as many times as you like. Once it is downloaded you are free to keep it and re-use it in future projects in all media throughout the Known Universe. We only charge for the handling and delivery. If you need to download it again Within a week you are free to do this. If You Have then deleted the media and need it again for a future project you will need to download Our pay fees again. "
You can not put the videos online as you arrive from Footagevault? not think so. The conditions Footagevault not speak freely distributed. speak of "use ... in future projects ", and this means that the material can be used freely in a creative project . Published as received would not be a creative project.
Who else works? Gen'xha collaborated on the poster, whose current version is above, but the project is also open to other proposals. Andrea Tedeschi deals with the conversion of the photographs in panoramic animations HD. Rodriguez is in charge of accounting. I am indebted to Vivian and Andrea for the great Apollo bound manuals that gave me, which is essential for the description of the missions.
What will the music documentary? I still have not decided anything final, aside from the music of the trailer, offered by Giancarlo from Clare. Find something that gives the feeling of magic, wonder and danger of the journey e di quel luogo. Mandatemi qualche campione delle vostre proposte (musiche vostre o trovate da voi), tenendo presente che devono essere liberamente distribuibili.
Chi sarà la voce narrante? Dipende in parte dal budget e dalla struttura finale del documentario, ma se ci sarà, sarà sicuramente uno speaker professionista: io no di certo (se non come traccia audio temporanea). Se i fondi bastano, investirò in un doppiatore molto conosciuto.
Ci saranno versioni in altre lingue? È probabile. Moonscape è strutturato in modo da non avere parti recitate o presentate in video da conduttori. Per creare una versione in altre lingue basterà quindi sostituire la voce narrante e i sottotitoli, senza dover doppiare il labiale di nessuno e senza dover girare di nuovo scene ad hoc.
Perché hai scelto il Futura come font di Moonscape ? Perché è un bel font e perché è un doppio omaggio: a Stanley Kubrick, che lo usò in 2001: Odissea nello spazio , e alla NASA, che lo usò come font "ufficiale" per tutte le scritte presenti sui veicoli Apollo.
In che formato sono i video di Footagevault? Sono compressi con il codec DVC PRO HD 1080, che non è leggibile direttamente da molti player ed editor video (neanche da Final Cut Express HD, purtroppo). Ho trovato che funzionano il player's pay-Calibrated , 1.01 and VLC Mplayer Extended (both for Mac OS X). VLC also works under Windows 01/01.
