The Curiosity Mars Rover as an HD Video

A Reddit user using the handle Godd2 took the 4 frames per second Rover landing vidoe and reworked it to 25 frames per second so it will play smoothly as an HD video. That involved calculating 21 frames for every second of footage and he says took 4 days straight. Interpolation was explained by Reddit user The Turbinator as "It works on the same principle as motion tween. You take an objects/pixels start position (frame 1) and it's end position (frame 2), then you fill in the blank between the two frames to create a frame in-between. TL;DR: It just happens automagically." Via Colossal, which had a great Monday.
