Forgotten Launch Footage

A few weekends ago I was going through some camera stuff and realized that I had some video from my last launch on April 28th that I had forgotten about. Actually, I hadn't forgotten about it but after viewing it immediately after the launch I realized that it was badly out of focus and decided that it wasn't all that interesting. The footage that I got from the on board camera was much more interesting. Seeing it again after three months though, it seems more interesting despite the poor video quality. The camera was placed at the base of the launch tower pointed along the tower axis. The resulting footage is fun to watch because it really gives a sense of how fast the rocket left the ground. I will probably try and capture this view again next time.
