I’ll be jumping back to read and watch at the source article, but I wanted to THANK YOU first, for providing a thread on something other than political conventions.

I went to the original image sequence and started oding manual motion tracking, watching a crater here or there. I made sure I always had at least two data points at any given time so that I could reposition and rotate for fluid motion.
Then I copied that motion tracking data to some null objects, and told after effects to interpolate the data in between using bezier curves. Oh, I hate people like that.

Now, this is what you see when you look up “cool” in the dictionary.

I had been trying to follow the original thumbnail video down to the landing site, but found it impossible. With the hi-res version I could do it, and of course it is that much easier with this "massaged" version. Below is a frame of the video marked with the landing site and an excerpt of a HiRise image display at about the same scale, also marked. This image is oriented north-south. You can see the ridge line on the left of this image in earlier frames of the video, and from there you can track the landing site back to the beginning.
One comment: It looks like the entire landing site was scoured by the rockets, since numerous rocks seem to be uncovered. I guess the four scour marks are much deeper.

At about 1:17 you can see the transition between the parachute and the skycrane as the view abruptly stops swinging, looking for all the worlds like an Apollo landing.
