"Kerbollo 17: The Last Footprint" - A KSP Film

[Wavechaser]

I wouldn't call that a "short film", because it's 30 minutes long. The original release is 50 minutes long, and I soon figured most of you won't be able to stay that long. So I spend another hour or so to trim it down to half hour long.

If you're really bored to death and want to watch the full 50 minutes long one,

.

Here's the cover.

And here's the video.

I am not planning on doing a bunch of explanations, sorry , because I think you all should know how does Apollo spacecraft and Saturn-V works.

But here's the Wikipedia page about Apollo 17 mission: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_17

And Saturn-V page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_V

Dude, that looks like a load of work went into that. But it's really...not nice to see a bunch of frames per second. I know, recording KSP can be really hard, especially with not so good hardware, I know what I'm talking about, but a solution to avoid stuttering videos would be to use TimeControl or so, reduce the time to at least 1/4, record the wanted scene and speed up everything later. I do so, and it works well. Otherwise, why did the rocket lifted-off at T-3 seconds? But it looks nice, I will keep watching this^^

My explanations of the rocket liftoff at T-3, is that I'm putting different scenes together, to show the launch from different angles. In order to make it as compact as possible, with the need of showing all the footages, I just squeezed them into the 10-second-or-so countdown sequence.

About the FPS problem, I would try TimeControl next time, thanks for the advise. But laggy FPS is just the nature of FASA, B9 and all other good mods, especially with a part count of 400+.

Nice video. You did a good job.
