Encore Cameramen 2K HD
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- This is an outtake from the Encore shot of Operation Upshot Knothole, a series of atomic tests in 1953 at the Nevada Test Site. This shot was originally used in my documentary "Atomic Filmmakers" in two parts. The shot in its original form is really scratched and beat in some places so it wasn't easy and very time consuming to restore the whole piece until now. In this shot, the cameraman whips the camera around to the VIP's to get their reaction to the shock wave, then turns back to see the mushroom cloud forming in the sky.

Are you tired of your city's boring ol' Fourth-of-July fireworks display? If you are, this year grab your family & head on down to...
NEVADA USA
Doofenschmirtz evil incorperated
😂😂
Lmfao will top any firework show for real.
I love that a photographer had the presence of mind to document the photographers who were documenting the blast.
It’s too bad that nobody thought to film the one guy who was filming the three guys. (and so on and so forth…) 🎥 🎞️ 💥
Lookout Mountain Laboratory.
Russian nesting cameras.
From the first light to the shock wave hitting the observers, the time lapse was 20 seconds, so the observers were approximately 4 miles from the blast.
Nope, it was actually 30 seconds (give or take 1 second) so they were *over* 6 miles away!
I love how the gentleman second from the right in the viewing crowd has the brim of his fedora turn up when the shockwave hits. A snap brim, indeed.
Smiles, laughs and giggles all around! Atomic blasts are such a good time!
lol
I find it impossible to divorce this kind of footage from the time period it occurred in. Late spring, 1953... Just about the _height_ of golden-age Americana... Jet-set auto styling, burger joints, drive-throughs, giant monster SF at every showing, jazz still hanging on as it slowly blended into rock and roll and optimism for the future everywhere you looked. 10-12 good years to follow... A true lost world.
How *much* I would like to have been sat in that viewing area! Hopefully I would have had tickets for Grable a couple of weeks later as well!
You would likely have been sent to Korea or Vietnam in that period of time.
I don't think it was quite as rosey as you make it sound
Really? Brown vs School Board decision wasn't until a year later.
And this was the time of Duck and Cover taught in schools.
Racial segregation. Rampant polio. Houses filled to the brim with asbestos....
@@buzaldrin8086 Duck and Cover was fairly effective against low kiloton yield fission bombs, not so much against megaton yield hydrogen bombs. 1953 was the time when hydrogen bombs were first being tested, it was another couple of years before they went into full production and deployment.
To witness something like this, the birth of short lived star on the surface of the earth would have been an event you would never have forgotten. It's absolutely insane to think that something like this exists and that 1000s of them are simply lying dormant ready to unleash this on us.
Great to see these because it gives a better sense of the timescale.
The heat of the airmass from the explosion creates such strong convection, advecting the loosened soil upwards into the atmosphere
They really did anything for a tan in the 50s
2423 Foot Airdrop. B-50 bomber air drop from a height of 19,000 feet, the detonation was 15 feet west and 937 feet south of the designated ground zero. (In other words, it missed the target by over 900 feet).
This was a weapon effects test and used a Mk-6D bomb with a predicted yield of 30-35 kt. The total device weight was 8330 lb.
Somebody on the crew of "Oppenheimer" or even Chris Nolan himself was probably watching these videos.
100%. Costume Designer. Set Decorator. If not Nolan himself.
That was unique. I've never seen the calibration rockets shot before and the way the fireball just hovered over the ground and then out of view formed a mushroom cloud with a large gap in its stem.
'No it's not dangerous, at all.'
'Are you sure?'
'Yes.. absolutely sure!' 😉😂
"Safe and Effective"
Most detailed film I've seen of Encore. All the others I've seen associated with it are either crude quality - likely EG&G for data gathering only - and a few others focused on items set out in the blast area. This clip also does corroborate Dr. F. Sheldon's account of Encore vs. Grable in T&B.
70 years old footage, and looks better than what my smartphone shoots in 4k. Thanks you so much for uploading this !
This is film that has been digitally copied, upscaled, and recreated (you can see interpolated frames and some AI upscaling from the graphical artifacts around the edges of stuff). The original footage does not look even as remotely clear. Your 4k camera on your smartphone certainly shoots better footage than this.
Some of the best optics and film were made in the 1950’s and 35mm film is still better than anything digital .
Cus it was remastered 70 years later Thanks to current technology.
No smartphone should be trusted with making 4K video. All phone cameras suck. Even a decade-old, $80 (on eBay) DSLR will kick any smartphone's ass. But Google and Apple want you to believe that smartphones made cameras obsolete lol...
Anyway, film is naturally HD. Depending on the film format and ISO (higher ISO = higher grain), you can scan film to pretty impressive resolution. Depending on the film stock used, 35mm film should be equivalent to 4K. I scan all the film I shoot (still film) in 4K and if I've done my job well, non-photographers can't tell I took a given photo on film. Looks just like digital.
@@evolicious Other than the part about interpolated frames (there are none, this is the same framerate as in the original footage shown in Atomic Filmmakers), I agree, this has all the pixels, but not really any more resolution than the original footage shown back then in SD. In fact, I can see what looks like some NTSC analog ringing artifacts in this AI enhancement, suggesting it's not really a digital copy being upscaled by AI, but an analog original transfer.
I'm personally not a fan of these AI upscales, they introduce way too many spurious artifacts, like that weird flickering and artifacts on the cloud starting at 1:28.
Hard not to admire Sarge with his flash bulb setup on the far right…
Wow that footage really amazing and interesting, we need to keep that for future generations to know how crazy it was.
Thanks for restoring the video. I was quite impressed with the power of the shockwave, given their distance from the blast and that it looked like it was a relatively modest yield - circa 20 kilotons at a guess?
27 KT airdrop
27kt according to Wiki... Noticeably heavier than Hiroshima but *nothing* to compare with what was to occur a little under a year later in the Pacific.
@@morelenmir The Baker shot? Or Castle Bravo?
@@kriztlumburt714The Baker shot was only 23 kt, so I think it was Castle Bravo.
@@lukehere4747 yes it is.. I remembered that Castle Bravo was after Baker on the same atoll.. only difference was CB was the first “thermonuclear” fusion reaction we popped. Everything was fission before.

Super nice air burst 💥
this footage is insane keep up the good work
Lucas Gordon 👋
There's a smoothness to this footage that makes me feel it's been upscaled. It may also just be a product of it being restored by hand or digitally by humans.
Being 10 km away from a blast twice the power of Little Boy is so 1950s.
They where all smiling not knowing what fear we would live with the rest of our lives.
I like that in these footage you can see those smoke lines generated immediately before the detonation
I love how the guy has a flash on his camera
“Did you see the atom bomb, Betty?”
“Not really. My hat flew off and me and the fella next to me chased it down, though.”

Having just toured the Nevada Test Site last week, it's haunting now that I can accurately identify the scale of these detonations by specific landmarks and areas we visited. But don't worry, "There is no radiation here."
Indeed.
Chernobyl area is safe to go to as well.
Sure, you do not want to be touching radioactive material.
Nor swallow it.
But, the way we have been made to fear radiation is kinda ridiculous.
Just take a look at Galen Winsor's lectures on youtube. i know of 2 of em, roughly 1.5 hours long.
The man swam with the rods, ate the stuff, etc etc.
He showed us how we have been fooled by Authorities who knew the full potential of this stuff.
Which is: The cleanest way of producing energy, without having to be dependent up on oil and all that stuff.
And in those days the powers that be could not have that. They needed people to keep buying oil. Like it is today.
Because man o man, oooo so dangerous, a steam explosion like Chernobyl. Like a pressure cooker blowing up.
YES: If you have your head right above the pan when it blows, then it becomes dangerous.
The radioactive material being scattered all over the place might indeed not be the safest stuff to touch, eat, etc.
But i have yet to see a picture of a mutant.
For sure, I did the tour in 2005
@@bertjesklotepino "I watched some RUclips videos. I'm an expert. Everything is fine." 🙄
@@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044 lol, you are funny indeed.
Where did i say that?
BUT, condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance :)
@@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044 ever listened and researched what Galen Winsor had to say?
Btw, research you can do without youtube, just a hint.
If not, i would suggest doing so before responding again.
Or perhaps tell me where i am wrong with what i have said.
If you can.
To me it seems you are only able to shoot the messenger.
Prove me wrong, expert.
Gosh, that sure was swell, mister! Can we see it again?
they're never prepared for the 💨 😎
Wait for it, wait for it! There it is, your parting gift, a lovely dose of cancer.
A big thank you from your United States military.
* dose
@@buzaldrin8086 Thank you, all fixed. I think it was auto correct, because it was trying to correct it with does again.
Thanks!
Notice how the fireball initially floats in the air, then suddenly gets pushed upwards from below. That is the blast wave reflecting off of the ground, then reaching back up to the fireball and pushing it up.
What makes a hot air balloon rise?

Isn't this the area where John Wayne was believed to have contracted cancer?
A really bad film shot in Utah. About 25% of the cast got cancers of some sort or another. AEC tried to make sure winds weren’t blowing towards Vegas when they popped these off.
more in Utah where the winds from this usually ended up
@@tedpeterson1156 Utah got some bad fallout during the test years.
Crazy and terrifying.
That (AI?) upscaler is fond of making footage have a pointillism look to it. (E.g. the bushes in the background behind the cameramen.) I noticed that the 4K version of _Trinity and Beyond_ had the same look. (For example, the fiery highlights in this sequence ruclips.net/video/ewfnKL6h93w/видео.html conspicuously feature a strange honeycomb of dots in places.)
I actually did a 4K scan of the whole film and I did an up-scaling of the film and used which ever looked better and often its impossible to make the 4K scan look better
@@atomcentral Thank you for the reply. I'm probably part of a small crowd on this, but I'm okay with 4K doing nothing more than revealing whatever details actually existed on the films themselves. 16mm footage certainly caps out before stressing the limits of 4K. I'm happy enough with that plus whatever extra depth can be realized by opening the HDR door. Even if there's _nothing_ to be gained (not true in this case, of course, considering the 35mm footage if nothing else), the smaller artifacts you get with the higher resolution is plenty important when it comes to footage with challenging grain. AI upscalers can be a mixed bag, though I admit I've never seen that honeycombed dot pattern before.
Either way, I should take this opportunity to thank you for making _Trinity and Beyond_ and the other documentaries. _T&B_ remains my all time favorite documentary movie. I'm hopeful for eventual 4K remasters of your other projects, potentially including some of the material that was cut, as noted in one of the commentaries.
@@atomcentral Are you going to release a version without the upscaling?
Was that air burst safe to breath?!
The burst height was over 2400 feet. The fireball did not reach the ground. However, Wikipedia notes:
"Desert Rock V, bad exposures for troops and bad downwinder fallout."
I wonder how many of these people developed cancer later in life from witnessing this blast.
Because cancer can be transmitted through the eyes.
No, it's not harmful. "trust the science".
Cool video, thanks for posting!
@@MM98126 Ahh yes... Mr. Carlin, I assume? Yes indeed!
@@MM98126 George Carlin refence? haha
@@tafdiz No its the most destructive ideology in the world when its abused like all the others.
@@MM98126 Interesting comment. I never thought it until you said that, but it makes sense now that I think about it. Must be why they aren't having random heart attacks and strokes.
Amazing details
How far are people from the center of the nuclear explosion?
Not far
Speed of sound: 343 meters per second. Time Fireball blast to the publics face and lady losing her hat= 30 seconds. 30*343 =10.000 meters.
About 6.5 miles.
KT output and detonation altitude ?
@@nghiadang2518 27kt at about 800 meters.
Thanks for the video. How do you go about deciding on colour balance etc? Personally I'd suppress the highlights a bit and boost the shadows and whites a bit, but I guess that would be less true to the original?
The most important thing you do not do that is description of the device and what height was detonated.
the HOB was 2423ft. Device names and descriptions are generally classified. The NV-209 is a good document to have. It lists all US tests, yield, HOB etc.
I often wonder, if any of those cameramen or the group of people watching are still with us....
Many of them got cancer, af least we know that.
0:30 great footage, 0:51 sad there is no sound from the shockwave.
people pointing fingers like "look! there comes my cancer"
The pulse of neutrons, gamma and xrays from the explosion damages tissue, but doesn't cause cancer. The cancer comes from inhaling radioactive particles that get lodged in the lungs and swallowing dust fallout. Those routes imbed isotopes in our tissue, and the exposure over time causes mutations & cancer.
For 2k this is extremely clear
Just a little dose of radiation !
To go with their cigarettes
zero ionizing radiation at 5+ miles from a 27kT shot like Encore.
It builds character!
@@Muonium1 Negligible amount, but never zero.
Me and the lads popping some big ass fire crackers at newyears, Just after one of them said : "i got this one from a guy who got it from a guy who knew someone at the black market!"
1:00 The cloud of dust rising into the air was incredible when the woman claps her ass.
How'd they come up with the name for this operation? 😂😂😂😂 Bro, were they from TX or something because that is the most Southern sounding thing I've ever heard.
It’s from the film Encore Mikhailo Selvetros from 1939
I don't get it. What are those lines of smoke on the side and why do they preceed the blast. And, what the heck is up with the missing mushroom? Only the head is there and the initial blast seems oddly timed. This whole video is strange.
First, Google nuclear test smoke trails, where they are explained,.
Second, it's an air burst at over 2400 feet, which is pretty high for a bomb this small.
Any clever folk around here; what do you recon the radiation dose would be of the crowd here?
A minor sunburn from a couple hours in the Nevada sun.
@@buzaldrin8086 Cool
Why didn't any nuclear explosions explode on top of the mountain?
It exploded on a mountain of air (over 2400 feet).
the IA interpolation ruin the footage imho. look at the trails at left, they just appear from nothing
I would like to hear the true sound of a nuclear explosion. Does anyone know if there is a film with the real sound of the explosion?
There is at least one on RUclips.

Ain't nukes just great .....
nice !
Wow, Nolan really went an extra mile
what are those lines we see to the left. 15 lines just appear from the ground upwards....
What is that?
Smoke flares. They make lines so that the bomb shockwave can be observed more easily.
they are jato rockets sent up to try and make the shock wave more visible.
About 9.50 km away.
wonder how many rads at test area?

Only way I would want to see one irl.
0:19 play back at .25 speed
what were those columns to the left of the blast
Google nuclear test smoke trails.
Smoke rockets that gauge the shockwave strength.
Ah the good ole’ days of hot dog cookouts …
Howard 👋
Martin Shkreli died in that explosion.
Too bad there is no sound.
0:52 I wonder what the audience experienced when the shock wave/sound reached them?
Just a big bang. Explosions doesnt scale in recorded audio, it's just going to sound like an explosion of indiscernible size whether it's 10 kilotons or 25 megaton. Would have been fun to hear the audience reactions though.
Parádní ❤
hej no
I bet most of them ended up with sunburn and cancer 😔
I hate the upscaling on this.

Eppure c'era una speranza..
i wish i lived in the western ages where we did less damage to nature for useless things.
What are the lines of smoke that appear on the left before detonation?
I'm just guessing. To highlight the advancement of the shockwave. National Atomic testing museum in Las Vegas is a must see if you are into this. They had to freeze the data lines in nitrogen from the blast site. It made the data travel just a millisecond faster then the blast which destroyed the lines. There were planes that flew above the test and became radioactive and were left in airplane boneyards. Some of these planes which were World War 2 surplus is being put back into airshows as their radioactivity drops.
They're called sounding rockets, and are observed for shock wave analysis.

Crazy people...
Their government told them it was safe to be there. Go figure.
What’s the risk to them? At 10km distance their prompt radiation exposure would have been minimal and it was an air shot, so wouldn’t have generated too much fallout. Also, it didn’t look like there was much wind to blow any fallout towards them, plus I am guessing the organisers would have located the viewing center upwind of the explosion.
I wouldn’t have hung around for champagne and canapés afterwards, mind you.
Crazy why? The distance is calculate u geniuos😂

Poor Hans. He died the day the last episode of Cheers aired. He probably never got to see if Sam stayed in the bar or not. Why did the aliens put that premonition in your head? I feel they just wanted poor Hans to finish watching Cheers, but alas it was to no aval. The Anunnaki descendants were slacking that day.
When I see anything written in CAPS I simply skip the reading.
For being est 6 miles away, that was huge
For one thing, the yield of the bomb was twice that of the Hiroshima bomb. It was also detonated much farther above the ground.
And because of the burst height, the fireball never touched the ground.
I BET THEY ALL GAVE GLOWING REVIEWS OF THIS DEMO…
